"Republicans for Environmental Protection represents the very best of the Republican Party. It's pragmatic. It advocates policies that are good in their own right. It represents the mainstream of Republican thought. I encourage all conservation-minded Republicans to join me in supporting REP's work." — Theodore Roosevelt IV, Lifetime Member

"I applaud the terrific work you are doing to restore the Republican Party's conservation tradition and advance responsible environmental policies. Our country has made the most progress in protecting our environment when Republicans have been strong leaders, and we need that leadership now more than ever. I fully support your organization's critically important mission." — Arnold Schwarzenegger, Governor of California, 2003-2011
