    <blockquote>In 2014, Bozmoski and Inglis founded republicEn, a group
      of about 3,000 people all over the US trying to create a
      grassroots movement of "conservative climate realists." "We want
      to give them a voice,"<br>
      That's not how all hunters approach climate change. Randy Newberg,
      a hunter and advocate for hunting on public lands, has no qualms
      about acknowledging the problem. "If you spend as much time in the
      hills as I do, I don't know how you could deny that climate is
      changing," he says. Deniers exist, "but honestly, I call them the
      flat-Earth society," he adds. Many hunters see climate change as a
      serious threat to the wildlife and public lands they want to
      protect for future generations. That's what's been driving the
      conservation movement for decades in the US, and it should not be
      a liberal or a conservative issues, says Newberg, who identifies
      as an Independent. "Maybe I'm naive and too idealistic for today's
      political world," he says, "but I struggle to understand how is it
      that clean air and clean water and productive lands are a partisan
      issue. To me, they're an American issue."<br>

      By banding together with other ecoRight conservatives, you turned
      climate warming from an afterthought into a priority for
      conservative lawmakers. Senators and Representatives began to
      champion climate realism and free-enterprise solutions.
      Conservatives led. American came together. The world followed. You

          Preparing Order to Expand Offshore Oil Drilling</a></b></font><br>
    by Jennifer A Dlouhy<br>
    <blockquote>President Donald Trump is preparing to issue an
      executive order with the goal of giving oil companies more
      opportunities to drill offshore, reversing Obama-era policies that
      restricted the activity. <br>
      The offshore drilling directive is set to be issued soon, Interior
      Secretary Ryan Zinke told an industry conference in Washington on
      Thursday, according to three attendees who spoke on condition of
      anonymity to discuss a session closed to the press. Zinke did not
      provide specific details on the executive order during his
      presentation to the National Ocean Industries Association.<br>
      The coming order is set to push the Interior Department to
      schedule sales of new offshore oil and natural gas rights in U.S.
      Atlantic and Arctic waters, amending a five-year Obama
      administration leasing plan that left out auctions there,
      according to an industry representative who has discussed it with
      officials. <br>

      Any decision to open up ANWR would fall to Congress, where
      Murkowski and Sullivan are pushing legislation that would allow
      oil and gas development in as much as 2,000 acres of the refuge...<br>
      The president can set some changes into motion immediately by
      directing the Interior Department to rewrite a plan for selling
      offshore oil and gas leases over the next five years and add
      auctions of tracts in the Arctic and Atlantic oceans that the
      Obama administration left out. But wedging those sales back into
      the plan would require environmental analysis and public comment
      periods -- perhaps consuming a year for the Arctic and even longer
      for parcels along the U.S. East Coast.<br>

      The populist wave that carried Trump to his surprise victory was

      The Republican base has for years rejected top-down regulations

      without understanding the whole...<br>
