Environmental group pressures Feingold and Kohl

An environmental group has started running radio ads in Milwaukee pressuring U.S. Sens. Russ Feingold and Herb Kohl to support a clean energy bill.
The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) crafted two versions of the two spots, one for each lawmaker. Each quotes the senators talking about clean energy and then says they now have โ€œthe chance to do somethingโ€ about it.
โ€œWe face a moment of decision, a moment to put words into action,โ€ the narrator says before touting the "American Power Actโ€ as a way to cut the countryโ€™s addiction to foreign oil, reduce pollution and โ€œfinally put America back in controlโ€ of its energy future.
โ€œSenator Feingold, continue to lead,โ€ the spot tailored to target Feingold closes. โ€œLetโ€™s focus on passing comprehensive climate and clean energy legislation.โ€
The EDF has also sent out mailers targeting the lawmakers.
