Arvin Vohra: Our biggest polluter is the American Government

When we increase protections for private property rights and sell all government-owned land, we help protect the environment, endangered species, and all industries dependent on the land or water. We enable the people who care the most about every square inch of this country to own them and make the best decisions possible. We also ensure that regulations and enforcement of those decisions will be effectively executed. I want to protect America from the biggest polluter: the government.

Sam Faddis: Protect environment without miring businesses in red tape

I believe we can have both a vibrant, dynamic, growing economy and a healthy environment. The Chesapeake Bay is a perfect example of a resource, which needs to be preserved not only for its significant intrinsic value but also because of it enormous economic potential. I believe the key to finding a balance between environmental and economic considerations is common sense and a focus on practical ways in which to protect the environment without miring individuals and businesses in red tape and regulations, which kill jobs and strangle growth.
