"Greens Launch Operation To Mobilize Volunteers in Key Senate Races"

"The League of Conservation Voters (LCV) has launched a grassroots operation to mobilize its members as volunteers in nine Senate races that they say are crucial to environmental progress.

The operation, dubbed GreenRoots, is being launched in Colorado, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Oregon.

LCV says they plan on recruiting 2,500 of its members to work 5,000 volunteer shifts for Sens. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Tom Udall (D-N.M.), Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.)."
