ConservAmerica's environmental policy positions are covered in the organization's website under the Issues tab and detailed in a variety of ConservAmerica policy papers. Political activity ConservAmerica endorses Republican candidates that the organization believes generally share its positions on environmental issues. As REP, the organization made endorsements in 2006, 2008, and 2010. In 2000 and in 2008, REP endorsed Senator John McCain for president. REP advised the McCain campaign on climate change mitigation. REP did not endorse George W. Bush in 2000 or 2004, and publicly opposed the 2001 nomination of Gale Norton as Secretary of the Interior. REP has an affiliated political action committee called REP PAC and an independent 527 group called the REP Conservation Fund. Both work to elect or defend Republicans who have what REP calls strong environmental credentials.
