A look at Ron Paul's environmental platform and record

16 Oct 2007

Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul doesn't spend much time talking about the environment; when he does address the issue, it's usually to say that our land, air, and water would be in better shape if the government butted out and let the free-market, private-property system run its course. Paul has represented Texas's 14th district in the U.S. House of Representatives for the past decade, and he represented the 22nd district for about seven years in the '70s and '80s. In 1988, he ran for president as the Libertarian Party candidate. Paul's lifetime voting score from the League of Conservation Voters is 29 percent.
