Republicans for Env Protection

Republicans for Environmental Protection (incorporated in 1996 as REP America) "began as a dream.

"The dream emerged from the minds of three middle-class women whose interest in conservation drew them together by accident. They weren't famous or well connected. They didn't have deep pockets. But they did have a powerful idea: they would create a grassroots movement dedicated to restoring the Republican Party's great conservation tradition." [1]

Martha Marks "has enjoyed a varied career. After teaching high school Spanish for five years, she returned to graduate school, earned a Ph.D. in Spanish literature and linguistics at Northwestern University and taught college for eleven years. In 1985, she left academia to write textbooks (6 published in all) and work as a free-lance language proficiency tester and trainer for the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages and many colleges, universities, and corporations.

"In 1990, a local land-use battle led Martha into politics. In 1992, she was elected to the Lake County (IL) Board and Forest Preserve Board on an avowedly pro-environment platform. The following year, she helped form the Lake County Conservation Alliance, an umbrella organization of grassroots groups trying to preserve the natural beauty and quality of life of their area. She was re-elected two times as a county commissioner and served for ten years until her (voluntary!) retirement in December 2002.

"In 1995, Martha was one of a handful of Republican environmentalists who set out to restore the GOP's conservation ethic by creating Republicans for Environmental Protection. She served on the Steering Committee in 1996; later that year she was elected president, an office that she held until November 2008, when she became Chairman of the Board. She was re-elected to REP's board in 1998, 2002 and 2006.

"Martha served on the Board of Directors of the national League of Conservation Voters from 2001 to 2007. In October 2002, she was honored with the "Council's Chair's Award" at a gala awards dinner of the National Resources Council of America.

"Martha's diverse career has earned her recognition in Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the Midwest, and Who's Who of American Women. She is also an accomplished wildlife photographer with her own "Martha's Art" web site. She and her husband live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Martha describes her hobbies as travel, photography and escaping into nature." [1]

Once upon a time, there were green Republicans.

Like John McCain, who sponsored the first climate cap-and-trade bill in the Senate — before getting all bitter about that whole being-crushed-by-Obama thing.

Like former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who set bold targets for cutting his state’s greenhouse gas emissions — before getting walloped in a Senate race by Tea Party darling Marco Rubio.

Like Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, who championed cap-and-tradeand got high marks from the League of Conservation Voters — before getting fed up with Senate dysfunction and polarization and GOPanti-contraception lunacy.

Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, who proudly signed California’s groundbreaking climate bill and fought back against oil industry efforts to repeal it — before being exposed as a serial philanderer who had a love child with his family’s housekeeper.

Now the ranks of green Republicans have gotten so thin that the nonprofit Republicans for Environmental Protection is dropping “Republicans” from its name.

Well, that’s not how the group itself explains it. Jim DiPeso, policy director for the newly christened ConservAmerica, says, “We thought it was important to hammer home the connections between conservation and traditional conservative values.”

... but the elephant stays.

DiPeso says the Republican trend toward climate denial is “disturbing,” but his group certainly isn’t giving up on the party. ConservAmerica will continue spotlighting green Republican ideas and endorsing green Republican candidates, even if they’re few and far between these days.

The group was excited about Jon Huntsman — and they might have been the only ones. As Huntsman drily told Grist after dropping out of the Republican presidential primary race, his position on climate change “didn’t help at all” during the campaign.

As for Romney, says DiPeso, “We’re still trying to figure out the man and the candidate.”

ConservAmerica has reached out to the Romney campaign and offered to brief the candidate on environmental issues. I suggest they not wait by the phone.

Lisa Hymas is senior editor at Grist.
