WASHINGTON, May 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by the Democratic National Committee:


On the campaign trail John McCain casts himself as a conservationist and environmentalist, saying we have a "sacred duty to be proper stewards of the resources upon which the quality of American life depends." Yet at the same time, McCain's fundraisers and advisers helping his campaign have been on the wrong side of the issues. And a little investigation reveals that the lobbyists raising money for and running McCain's campaign have earned $13.1 million dollars lobbying for oil companies and worked for companies responsible for oil spills, water and air pollution.
