Reclaiming Environmental Leadership: http://www.rep.org/opinions/speeches/76.html
The truth is that conservation and environmental stewardship are core conservative values. The misperception stems from the fact that the GOP establishment has lost sight of these values. This misrepresentation has been perpetuated by the media over the last 15 years or so. The result has been a polarizing battle that is not at all about the advance of conservative principles, but rather the advance of special interest political agendas. The argument is based on essential elements of conservative thought that have been articulated by conservatives throughout history, including the very founders of modern conservatism including Edmund Burke, Roosevelt, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and modern leaders such as John McCain and Newt Geingrich.
"Conservation of our resources is the fundamental question before this nation, and that our first and greatest task is to set our house in order and begin to live within our means." -T. Roosevelt
