Last week, President Bush called for renewed off-shore drilling. The New York Times criticized Bush's plan, calling it "The Big Pander to Big Oil."

Accepted $348,008 from the oil and gas industry since 2000.
Supported the industry in 78% of selected votes.

Senator Jeff Bingaman (D-NM)
Accepted $262,635 from the oil and gas industry since 2000.
Supported the industry in 44% of selected votes.

Representative Steven Pearce (R-NM02)

Supported the industry in 100% of selected votes.

Representative Tom Udall (D-NM03)
