(the song was can be heard on the video game grand theft auto:san andreas). he made the song shortly after ford invited him to the white house. gerald ford was known for his take on environmental issues (take a look at ford’s 76 speech on world environment day). his strides into environmental protection included the toxic substances control act, as well as environmental safeguards to protect animals. while some critics believe these policies and overall stance on envirnomental issues was merely an “expansion of economic rhetoric” to distract the public from the rise in inflation, it was ford who nationalized the “observance of earth day on the march equinox.” here is gerald ford’s own green words: “the earth will continue to regenerate its life sources only as long as we and all the peoples of the world do our part to conserve its natural resources. It is a responsibility which every human being shares. through voluntary action, each of us can join in building a productive land in harmony with nature.” [...] [...] did you know james brown’s song “funky president” was about gerald ford?
