Hi, I'm a Republican conservationist. You may know me from my greatist hits including "We Need a Man Like Teddy Again", "Lincoln Does Yosemite", "Reagan and the Montreal Protocol", "Read My Lips-No Net Loss of Wetlands", and "Yes, Virginia, there are green Republicans".
Hi, I’m a climate scientist. You may know me from my greatest hits including, “No, it’s not a natural cycle,” “Yes, I know it’s been warmer before (and the only reason YOU know is because we scientists told you so),” and “Just because it’s on YouTube doesn’t mean it’s true.”
Tomorrow, The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is voting on S.500, the Restore Our Parks Act. This bill will

The real anger is from the proportionate increase in premiums. Ten years ago, the average family paid about $300 a month. Now, it’s about $2,000.
ConservAmerica is honored to recognize and award the Congressional Champion Award to Senator Murkowski, Senator Braun, Rep. Mast and Rep. Westerman for their commitment to building consensus around pragmatic solutions that are economically and environmentally smart.

Doris Kearns Goodwin just said on MSNBC that if she could bring back one politician for this moment in history, it would be Theodore Roosevelt. We've been trying to bring him back since 1995! Teddy Rides Again! Who will don the mantle?

We partnered with

With sound policy & based on free-market principles, US workers, industries & our allies can develop clean energy technologies using critical minerals produced here in the US. Read ConservAmerica’s recommendations for fixing the mineral supply chain:
Thank you

for your leadership and service. There has been no member of Congress more courageous than you. Every public servant should heed and aspire to your example.

How about just making college more affordable by making publicly funded universities cease the dorm/food service/amenities arms race? Dorm suite for 4 students brings in $48,000 annually (4 students x $12k for room and board). Ave household income is $53K. 1/2

Amen!

“The best strategy is to be authentic and not worry so much about being re-elected. I think that’s what’s generated so much cowardice in our politics.”
On this Earth Day, Congressman Brian Mast, R-Florida 18th District, offers a positive message on the importance of conservation & working toward commonsense policies that support clean air & clean water.

The RNC says they’ll be handing out hamburgers and soda with plastic straws at Senator Elizabeth Warren’s New Hampshire rally today to “push back on climate messaging.”

The most efficient way to achieve energy that is abundant, affordable, clean, reliable and secure is through policies that encourage competitive markets, private investment, and expanded trade.

I am calling on Congress to send me a Bill that fully and permanently funds the LWCF and restores our National Parks. When I sign it into law, it will be HISTORIC for our beautiful public lands. ALL thanks to

"The Government Accountability Office says that costs of disaster assistance to taxpayers since 2005 have swelled to nearly $500 billion—and they keep getting higher."
"More surprising is the list of climate victories Baker notched during his first four years. He can now reasonably claim to have accomplished more on climate than any other governor in office today — including Democrats." -

Clean energy is not clean when it’s outsourced to countries that do not share our environmental standards or values. Read ConservAmerica’s recommendations for building a safer, more reliable, cleaner critical mineral supply chain:

If you're "Pro Life" and don't advocate for clean air, clean water, and a healthy climate, you need to find a new label for yourself. "From conception to natural death" does not exclude all those years in between when we and our children breathe, drink, and live.

Republicans have a great story to tell: The US leads the world in GHG reduction, largely due to natgas replacing coal. With an all-out program to promote zero emission nuclear power, the US can be 100% emission free in a decade.
“If we are worried about carbon emissions, as we should be,” said Ohio’s Republican Governor, Mike DeWine, “you cannot get attainment without nuclear energy. You take away nuclear energy in Ohio and we’re never going to have clean air.”
The Justice Dept filed a brief w/ 9th Circuit Court of Appeals opposing a legal petition by environmental groups against a land exchange that would grant residents of remote King Cove, AK road access to a lifesaving airport –
The Senate is voting on bipartisan legislation I co-authored, the Great American Outdoors Act, which will make the largest investment in our National Parks and public lands in a generation. This is a jobs bill and a conservation bill. Let’s get it done.
Just a quick tweet. Since news of the Roosevelt Conservation Caucus broke last Friday afternoon, the response has been incredible in volume and support. Thank you everyone who's reached out. Big things to come!
Happy Easter! May this season of renewal and rebirth remind us that we live in the greatest country on earth, brimming with the desire to give this heritage to the next generation unimpaired and improved.
We've been saying this (majority of R's get it) since 1995. We've also said, "give us a big enough lever, and we'll change the world." That lever is a fraction of money given to left of center groups to preach to the choir.

With thousands of students concentrated in buildings, economies of scale say room and board should be priced in hundreds, not thousands. While we're at it, let's tackle healthcare costs the same way. 2/2
“As Republicans, we’ve drifted from our roots,” he wrote in the more than 1,000-word commentary. “The party, in fact, has a remarkable legacy on conservation and the environment and this race suggests we should recommit ourselves to it.”

Today is the 100th Anniversary of the death of President Theodore Roosevelt. He's more popular today than ever before--one would think public figures would emulate him because of that fact. Try to rest in peace TR!
