By their fruits shall ye know them. (re: Fundamentalists and the environment)

Hi Omni,I thought I would bring to your attention a political group known as Republican's for Environmental Protection (REP America). Their name is pretty straight-forward as to what the group is about. I am not a member of this group, but I have in the past had email conversations with their policy/communications guy, Jim DiPeso. One of the questions I asked him is whether they would ever vote non-republican, if the republican candidate was obviously hostile to the environment. He told me the REP was Republican first and environmentalist second, so they would vote for the anti-environmental republican no matter what.I bet they don't have a whole lot of sway in the GOP...-clpMINI

Maybe some of the Christian types look at these strong feelings and actions and think of Environmentalism as a religion of its own, and thus the confict.`clpMINI
