Taking Action: Standing on Principle Can Mean Fighting Our “Friends”
Those standing on principle will at times find themselves standing opposite their political “friends.” The John Birch Society and related supporters frequently experience this, especially with our “Choose Freedom, Stop a Constitutional Convention” project. And, unfortunately, brave Americans standing up for property rights in America’s heartland are finding this out, too.
Many elected Republicans are playing along with the climate-change ruse. Even worse, some are benefiting from it. The Daily Caller reported in early June, “All four Iowa House Republicans lobbied to protect tax credits for carbon dioxide storage in House Republicans’ debt ceiling bill after raking in thousands in donations from a donor involved in CO2 pipeline development, according to campaign finance records.”
Plus, some GOP Iowa state legislators are opposed to strengthening the property rights of constituents because of the carbon-capture pipeline support of the state’s biofuels industry. Iowa Public Radio said in February, “A study commissioned by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, which is in support of the pipelines, says that if Iowa ethanol plants aren’t able to use carbon pipelines, they won’t be competitive with neighboring states that do carbon capture and receive tax credits for it.”
