The Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy was founded by Mark E. Mathis, its executive director, a former TV anchor, a radio talk show host and a consultant to the Independent Petroleum Association of New Mexico. A disclosure statement with an opinion column stated that "Citizens' Alliance for Responsible Energy is funded by more than 250 members including New Mexico oil and gas producers."[1]
On its website, CARE states that it is "devoted to educating the public about the need to guarantee our access to the affordable energy that drives our nation forward."[2] A june 2008 blog post stated that veteran anti-environmentalist Ron Arnold had been "an integral part of CARE’s founding."[3]
In March 2006 Mathis was a co-signatory on a letter, initiated by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in support of an expansion of oil drilling in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.[4]
