WASHINGTON --U.S. Rep. Rahm Emanuel and U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin are putting campaign fund dollars behind their efforts to stop pollution.
The Illinois Democrats are airing ads this week targeting BP Amoco on Chicago radio stations.
Emanuel and Durbin are outspoken opponents of BP's plan to expand an Indiana oil refinery and discharge more pollution into the Lake Michigan region.
The lawmakers are urging citizens to oppose the plan by signing an online petition at

Indiana regulators have granted permission for more water pollution and say it would be within federal guidelines. There's no decision yet on the air pollution.
BP has agreed to meet with the lawmakers next month to discuss the issue.
