Hi Bob, I'm a volunteer for the Citizens' Climate Lobby in Boise, Idaho, where we have some very conservative members of Congress. No matter how many times we reference George Shultz or how revenue-neutral carbon pricing is a small government alternative to "regulatory overreach," it seems that our meetings inevitably end with hearing "well, sounds nice but we will never do anything to raise taxes." Any ideas for how to better convey to conservatives that this fits well with their core values despite being a "tax" on carbon?

Thanks, I'll check that out! I have talked to some folks from Eastern WA and they seemed to be hitting similar roadblocks to us.

Bob, any additional advice?
