Who Enjoys, Appreciates and Respects The Outdoors More?

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , , , , , , on July 26, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

So, who enjoys, appreciates and respects the outdoors more when it comes to political affiliations? Which party’s members feel most at home and appreciate nature and the outdoors the most in America?

Remember, the Democrats are the party of Environmental Champion Stewart Udall and all those young liberals of the 1960s and 1970s who brought you Earth Day! Of course, Republicans can point to the Eminent Conservationist Teddy Rooesevelt and recall also that the Environmental Protection Agency began with Richard M. Nixon!

From 10:30 to 11 a.m., Thursday, July 28, Don Corrigan will be the guest on 
Charlie Brennan’s KMOX-CBS Radio Show, 1120 on the a.m. dial. Charlie selected Don’s, “Show Me…Natural Wonders,”  for his book of the month club selection. 

The show will also highlight an event Charlie is organizing with Don to do some
Saturday morning hikes at Powder Valley Nature Center in Kirkwood on Saturday, July 30, starting at 9 a.m. If you would like to join in the fun, please click here.

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on August 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »

REP members like ROY GERDEL want to protect nature sites like MONTAUK SPRINGS or BATTLE OF ATHENS STATE PARK from the stench and pollution of CAFOS (Confined Animal Feeding Operations).

* PLEASE TELL US YOUR STORIES ABOUT MONTAUK SPRINGS
OR BATTLE OF ATHENS STATE PARK *

TOP TEN REASONS FOR BEING A REPUBLICAN GREEN

1. Elephants can be Green: Consider Teddy Roosevelt.

2. Global warming is a non-partisan planetary issue.

3. Conservation is conservative. Ask a real conservative.

4. Environmental entrepreneurship is good for business.

5. Environmental products are good for global commerce.

6. Energy independence is a patriotic mission to accomplish.

7. Stop Anti-Environmental Wackos like Rush Limbaugh.

8. You don’t have to be a “liberal pagan” to enjoy trees..

9. It’s time the GOP disowns Bush anti-environment policies.

10. Al Gore shouldn’t have all the fun – or the credit.

Nature Nurturer of the Week – Roy Gerdel

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged , , , on August 4, 2008 | 6 Comments »

Roy Gerdel and his colleagues in the Missouri chapter of Republicans for Environmental Protection (REP) admit their nature group has its work cut out for itself, particularly with the Missouri Republican legislators who seldom vote green on state issues.

It’s not easy being green, especially if you are green in the Grand Old Party. The Republican Party has been cold, sometimes even hostile, to environmentalists in recent years. Some in the party are looking to change that reputation.

(To learn more about Roy Gerdel and REP, see Don’s complete Webster-Kirkwood Times story at: http://www.websterkirkwoodtimes.com. Here you will get the whole story on REP and the nurturer of the week, Roy Gerdel.)

“I love the outdoors,” said Gerdel. “It hurts me when I see conservatives who don’t favor conserving the great natural legacy in this state. That’s not to say we haven’t had some success stories – like establishing the great Katy Trail in our state. We just need more environmental success stories in this state.”
(For More Information on the Republicans for Environmental Protection please go to the website: rep.org)

WHAT DO YOU THINK? IF YOU ARE A DEMOCRAT, DO YOU THINK REPUBLICANS CAN BE ENVIRONMENTALISTS? IF YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN, DO YOU THINK MORE FOLKS IN THE GOP SHOULD JOIN THE REP?
