“Last week I received calls from two presidential campaign policy advisors; one Democrat, the other Republican. Each expressed interest in environmental position papers for their candidates. They hope their perspectives on Green issues will appeal to voters, especially those in Western states. Both parties need help—but in opposite directions. Republicans need sensitivity to Green issues, Democrats sensibility regarding incentives. I explained that FREE does not (and indeed cannot) give aid and comfort to any specific candidate to the exclusion of others. We are, however, eager to help all candidates develop sound policies, ones we believe will foster responsible liberty, environmental quality, and modest prosperity.” (08/29/07)
