DescriptionWe Republicans have much to be proud of. Early in this century President Theodore Roosevelt began setting land aside for our national parks and wildlife refuges. President Nixon encouraged and signed into law the Clean Air Act, the National Environmental Protection Act, and the Endangered Species Act. He also founded the EPA. President Bush signed an even stronger Clean Air Act. And Barry Goldwater, the "Father of Conservatism," was a lifelong conservationist and a REP member.

REP members are among the majority of Republicans who want to conserve, not squander, our natural heritage. Protecting our environment is not a partisan issue. We all benefit from a clean, healthy world; we all treasure natural areas and abundant wildlife.

Unfortunately, some Republicans have made it their goal to undo the laws that have cleaned up our air and water, improved our health, and the quality of our lives, preserved our great natural heritage, and prevented the extinction of many native species, including our national symbol, the bald eagle.

REP members members, like most other Americans, do not want these good laws weakened or eliminated. Nor do we want our natural public lands ruined by industrial exploitation or other harmful uses. We are speaking up as Republicans to let our political party's leaders know we want our great natural heritage preserved, not squandered for short-term gain.

Republicans for Environmental Protection (REP America) is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and elected officials about the need to protect our environment and conserve our wildlands and natural resources. We advocate legislation to accomplish those goals while adhering to the basic Republican principles of fiscal responsibility and smaller government.

If you are a Republican who wants to protect the land we love, we invite you to join REP. Help us fight to save our natural resources and our party's tradition of environmental stewardship.
