National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare (NCPSSM)
“Our nation needs your leadership, vision and determination to fight for working families and older Americans. You understand that congressional efforts to privatize Social Security, which would undermine the most successful social insurance program ever, continue. You recognize fully that the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act pulls the plug on Medicare’s universal risk pool and sets the stage for efforts to unravel Medicare through privatization. National Committee members and supporters want you in the United States Senate to continue protecting Social Security and Medicare—the twin pillars necessary to a good quality of life for Americans of all ages.”

League of Conservation Voters and Conservation Voters of New Mexico
“Here in New Mexico, CVNM (Conservation Voters New Mexico) applauds Rep. Tom Udall (D-3rd) for a perfect score of 100 percent and for his leadership on the energy bill. (Rep. Udall introduced an amendment that would have required utilities to produce at least 15 percent of their electricity from renewable energy sources by 2020.) Rep. Udall's legislation would have saved consumers billions of dollars on their energy bills and created many new green collar jobs here in New Mexico while dramatically slashing global warming pollution. Unfortunately, a minority of senators eventually stripped that important provision from the bill.”

Defenders of Wildlife
“New Mexico presents a rare opportunity for Americans who care about conservation to increase their ranks in the Senate and House. Representative Tom Udall has a stellar conservation record and we know he’d be a true champion for New Mexico in the Senate. Conversely, Representatives Steve Pearce and Heather Wilson both have atrocious conservation records. They both sit on House committees that are vital to our nation’s conservation efforts, yet both have voted repeatedly to provide tax breaks to polluting industries and undermine key laws that protect our air, land and water.”
