Recently, Travis Johnson owner of the centrist blog “Republicans United” sat down with Jim Dipeso Vice President of the group “Republicans for Environmental Protection” to conduct an interview about the goals of REP and where the organization was heading in the near future.
Jim DiPeso is the kind of Republican you don’t hear about in the newspapers everyday. He’s the Vice President for Policy & Communication of the Republicans for Environmental Protection, an organization formed in 1995 to restore the Republican tradition of environmental conservation. In an era when folks like Senator Jim Inhofe get headlines for Republicans by calling climate change “the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people”, it’s refreshing to see there are Republicans out there who remember the first two syllables of the word “conservative.”
