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...
