We need the Republican Party to help solve the climate crisis because only a bipartisan solution can be enacted quickly, without danger of being undone after the next election. We saw climate change with our own eyes this summer, and yet the Republican Party now plans to reverse the progress President Biden has made on greenhouse gas emissions with his Inflation Reduction Act. It’s clear that the Republican Party is serving the fossil fuel corporations.
To free the Republican Party from fossil fuel control, we would have to take away the industry’s biggest weapon, its unlimited campaign donations. And we can do that in November. Maine’s Question 2 would give Maine the power to limit the campaign donations of both corporations and foreign countries. Maybe we could finally have a government for the people, not for Big Money.
