Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund aren't stopping their campaign against former U.S. Representative Steve Pearce. The group announced a new commercial today, this one with three claims; that Pearce sold his company for twice its stated value to a group regulated by a committee he sat on, that Pearce was twice named one of the most corrupt members of Congress and that he received money from a producer of MTBE then voted to "protect them from liablity from polluting New Mexico's drinking water."

The MTBE liability provision never became law because it was pulled from the legislation in conference committee; however, the Republican-led House passed the provision that would have protected MTBE producers from liability.
