the Endangered Species Conservation Act


Grand Old Partisan appreciates Republican respect for environmental safeguards. December 5th 1969, President Richard Nixon signed the Endangered Species Conservation Act. He called it "the most significant action this Nation has ever taken in an international effort to preserve the world's wildlife."

Improving on the GOP’s Protection of Game and Birds Act, this new measure extended protection beyond game animals and wild birds – to amphibians and reptiles and invertebrates and plants. The federal government could ban importation or sale of any species endangered worldwide. Another outcome was the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Back to Basics for the Republican Party is my civil rights history of the GOP. To quote the book: "The more we Republicans know about the history of our party, the more Democrats will worry about the future of theirs. For more information, see www.grandoldpartisan.com.

Here is my Substack about this article.

Michael Zak is author of Back to Basics for the Republican Party, a history of GOP civil rights achievement.


Each day, his YouTube videos and TikTok videos and Rumble videos and Grand Old Partisan blog celebrate more than seventeen decades of Republican heroes and heroics. And, see Speech Raves for audience feedback from his presentations in thirty-one states.

Clarence Thomas cited Back to Basics for the Republican Party in a Supreme Court decision.

"This is the most amazing book about politics that I have ever read. The Overview should be required reading for anyone with even a minor interest in government. The remainder is an enthralling history lesson that I will never forget. For years, we have all been misled about the true nature of the GOP. This is the real deal! Read it and be proud!"

"Your book is a national treasure. I'm always recommending it."

"Michael Zak wrote the definitive history of the GOP."

"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is the most significant contribution to the Republican Party in the last twenty years apart from Ronald Reagan."

"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is more important to our party now than ever before."

and

"one of the best books I ever read"

Grand Old Partisan  spotlights a meeting of two Republican heroes. September 6th 1987, Ronald Reagan visited the home of Alf Landon for his 100th birthday. The former Kansas Governor was the GOP's 1936 presidential nominee. "Today we celebrate – I know it will actually be in just a few days – but we're celebrating Alf Landon's first century, half the life of our nation since the framing of the Constitution." "In a hundred years, Alf Landon has chased many dreams and caught most of them. Along the way, he's found time to stand for the American values of liberty, democracy, and opportunity. And no one is more the living soul of Kansas, which to me means quiet strength and the simple decency of all America, than Alf Landon." "When it was out of fashion, you warned of the dangers of too much government and too much government spending. So this is my birthday message: It is that all Americans are thankful for what ...
