The PBS program NOW, recently came to Central Texas looking for election stories where the war in Iraq might impact Congressional races. They interviewed John last week, as well as Democrat  Mary Beth Harrell.  Mary Beth is running in Congressional District 31, against Republican incumbent John Carter. That district includes Fort Hood, and the District 31 race was the focus of the PBS TV program that aired Friday Nov. 3rd, entitled "Sway the Course".

NOW program producers had so much good video they shot with John, but very little opportunity to air it all in one program. The producers decided to make John's interview a web exclusive.  

John Courage picked up four key endorsements in the past couple of weeks. Two from national groups, The Sierra Club and Latinos for America, and two from regional TX groups, San Antonio Toll Party and The Texas Environmental Democrats - Austin. The Sierra Club and The Texas Environmental Democrats endorsements were given to John because of their belief that John will lead and take strong actions to defend our environment. John has a website specifically dedicated to his positions on the environment - Conservation With Courage.

Sierra Club representative Chuck Byrd made this comment about Lamar Smith at our press conference:

Smith has consistently voted with the current administration to rape, pillage, and destroy the environment.
