Wa. Republicans for Obama
Bill Ruckelshaus, who served in both the Nixon and Reagan administrations, will vote for Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama, the Illinois senator's campaign announced Wednesday.
"While I have voted for Republicans all of my life, I am voting for Senator Obama in this election because, when it comes to the future of our country, the stakes are too high," Ruckelshaus, Seattle resident, Strategic Director of Madrona Venture Group, said in a statement. "Senator Obama has a specific plan that will reduce our dependence on foreign oil, grow our economy, and tackle climate change. Senator Obama's New Energy for America Plan will invest $150 billion over the next ten years to encourage private efforts to develop clean energy technologies in a clean energy future. Not only is it Obama's intention to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 80 percent by 2050, but his plan should create millions of new green jobs."
Ruckelshaus is the former head of the Environmental Protection Agency under Nixon and Reagan. source
