HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA., April 13, 2011 – Long time radio personality, Warren Duffy, host from 1994 to 2004 of the Los Angeles KKLA radio program, “Duffy and Company”, announced today the launch of a new environmental coalition CFACTSOCAL –a group of environmental “truth tellers”.

CFACTSOCAL is a new branch office of the Washington, D.C. organization, Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) founded 25 years ago.  After several trips to Southern California and working with Duffy and his wife, Pam on various environmental issues, the co-founder of CFACT Craig Rucker explained the reasoning for a Southern California chapter.   “Seeing the threat radical environmentalism posed to individual freedom in California, Duffy and Pan were ready to take the challenge of confronting it in their own backyard.”

“Today, CFACT, both nationally and internationally, stands ready to offer sound alternatives to those pushing the radical green agenda.  Those alternatives preserve freedoms, prosperity and the environment.  The Duffy’s will carry out CFACT’s important work in California to accomplish its goals,” Rucker concluded.

In response to the question, why he was willing to organize CFACTSOCAL, Duffy explained, “We hear nothing substantial from the mainstream media about the coming tidal wave of government rules, regulations and expenses under the pretext of environmental protection.  We cannot even get honest easy-to-understand information from the various Sacramento bloated bureaucracies running this scam.  Our coalition (CFACTSOCAL) will educate, activate and motivate citizens throughout the Golden State with the truth concerning Cap and Trade and various other environmental issues.  I honestly believe most people in California don’t understand the devastation these policies will bring on every family and business in our state.  Even Sacramento bureaucrats seem to be making it up as they go along.  We are gathering facts, reporting them on our website , as well as on our weekly podcasts.  In addition, between now and the end of the year, I will be speaking at as many venues as possible to get the truth out concerning Cap and Trade and the past forty years of environmental story-book alarmism.  I trust the majority in our state, from business owners to scientists, agree with the truth we are sharing.

Duffy was a radio broadcaster in Southern California on KMET-FM, Los Angeles in 1970, when the radio station helped publicized the very first Earth Day.  “It was right after the Santa Barbara oil spill, Duffy reflected  “The television news was full of oiled birds and gunk on the beach.  We advertised a day when everybody took responsibility for not leaving pop-top can openers on the beach, saving the trees by using plastic bags (little did we know), and not trashing the woods, rivers, desert or sea.  It was all pretty simple back them,” Duffy said.

When asked why he did not form a state-wide organization, Duffy said, “Rather than taking on too much to begin, Southern California seemed a good place to start.  Having lived here for over forty years, I am much more familiar with the area.”  Duffy concluded his remarks by stating, “The future of our state is before and as is often said, ‘As goes California, so goes America.’  Our present path is a direction our state or nation does not need to travel.  As President Reagan said, “The most terrifying words in the English language, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help’.”  We can do better then allowing our state to become captive to green alarmists and overzealous state bureaucrats.”
