Hillary Clinton Lands a Key Endorsement From the League of Conservation Voters
http://www.thenation.com/article/hillary-clinton-lands-key-endorsement-from-league-of-conservation-voters/
In its earliest endorsement ever in a presidential race, a key environmental group backs the Democratic front-runner.
By John Nichols
Yesterday 2:22 pm
Few groups are more savvy and effective when it comes to supporting candidates than the League of Conservation Voters and the LCV Action Fund. For almost 50 years, the league has challenged Republicans and Democrats to step up on a wide range of environmental issues, and it has a long track record of holding politicians to account while intervening to help elect environmental allies.
So the LCV Action Fund endorsement Monday of Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination is a big deal. It is not just the earliest-ever endorsement in the history of the LCV Action Fund; it is an enthusiastic embrace, with fund president Gene Karpinski declaring, When it comes to fighting the climate crisis, the stakes couldnt be higherand we are confident that Hillary Clinton is the right person for the job. With her proven history of leadership, strong environmental record, and a campaign committed to building a clean energy future, Hillary Clinton is without a doubt the most effective leader to stand up to Big Polluters and push forward an aggressive plan to tackle climate change and get it done.

LCV board chair Carol M. Browner focused on the climate issue in talking up Clinton. ..................
As a presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton has made the need to grow a sustainable, clean energy economy and tackling climate change a major part of her conversation with voters, said Browner, a former EPA administrator who served as director of the Office of Energy and Climate Change Policy under President Obama. With a history of leadership on the international stage and a commitment to protecting public health, Hillary Clinton is the leader we need to meet the climate crisis head-on. .......................

It is going to be the difference maker when it comes to pushing progressive policy through.

Seriously, how much do you want to bet she "evolves" again on the Keystone pipeline?
Well, after the election, of course.
