To read the full text of this article online, click here: /articles/article/rehberg_responds_to_stain_ad14284/ ARTICLE EXCERPT: Last week, Dan Testa posted the “Stain” ad that is running against Congressman Denny Rehberg and several of his Republican colleagues, criticizing the lawmakers for voting against the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Yesterday, Rehberg sent out an opinion piece to the state’s media, charging that the “ad distorts the truth.” Here it is: You’ve probably seen the slick, negative ads on TV, claiming that I voted against the “American Clean Energy and Security Act” because of contributions from “big oil and energy interests.” These accusations are dishonest and false. They are designed to confuse you and disparage me. The legislation these ads endorse is bad for America and even worse for Montana. 

 The ad doesn’t tell you that I joined 212 Members of Congress, including 44 Democrats, in voting against this legislation. The ad doesn’t tell you that not a single Representative, Republican or Democrat, from Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota or South Dakota voted for this bill. And the ad doesn’t tell you that Senator Max Baucus voted against similar legislation in the Senate when it came before his committee.
