Republicans for Envirenmental Protection is an NGO which was formed in 1995 by three women, namely: Martha Marks, Kim O'Keefe-Wilkins and Aurie Kryzuda. The NGO formally operates in 10 US states (California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington) and its current headquarters is in New Mexico. Its main purpose is to influence Republican politicians to take stronger steps in order to protect natural resources as well as human and environmental health.
Historically, the NGO advocates a variety of environmental issues, but lately it focuses especially on alternative energy and climate change.
Besides lobbying on both local, state and national level, the REP is also very vocal on endorsing candidates in the primaries who have a stronger background on environmental protection.
I am personally very fond of this NGO, since many people fall into the generalization that only liberals care about the envirenment.
