LAST EDITED ON Feb-16-11 AT 09:28PM (MST)[p]fellow sportsmen,
i am on a Delta Flight somewhere over Colorado, headed for Utah. We gattling gunned a bunch of Senaotrs and Congressman the last two days.
i sent out an email that DDAY had launched Monday, while the final version of what the US Congress does to Competely remove Wolves from ESA protection is being finnalized, sportsmen, ranchers and businessman finally together, and Governor Sweitzer added one more victory on teh wolf war battlefield
This is a Rooseveltian day for Conservation. US Senator Hatch and Sen. Barrasso laid the wood to some folks like i have never seen before, as did Democratic Congressman Jim Matheson of Utah and Mike Ross of Arkansas, and Congresswoman lumis of WY and Chaffetz UT and Rehberg of MT.
you can see more than 55 US Senators and Congressman who want wolves delisted at
www.biggameforever.org and click on the blog page at the top. scroll down past Rob Kecks comments to see the map, many more on one the support since the map was posted.
AFter Sweitzer did his deal, i will bet 100 Senators and Congressman will be there tomorrow
Randy and Connie Brooks put up $100,000 a year ago and said go fix this. A young sportsmen named Ryan Benson, Harvard Law graduate gave up a HELL of a lucrative patent law practice and has worked 18-20 hour days for the last year to put together a great armada of folks to come to this day.
A prominent Texas Trial Attorney named Ted Lyon did MORE than most will ever know, including a private dinner last night with some of the highest Democrats in DC.
TEd Nugent pounded away relentlessly this past week. he personally light up a congressman who wanted to surrender
Foxworthy, Malone and others have been in it since day one.
many other sportsmen have worked for this day for ten years, Robert Fanning, Toby Bridges, and many others.
the war is not over, but we are negotiating the terms of surrender.
It is going to be fun to write a book about this effort teh last year. i get a few shots taken at me on MM, but, as Nancy REgan wrote her book, My Turn, one day i am taking few shots, but for now, lets stay focused on finishing the fight.
RMEF, MDF, SFW, BGF have been at the forefront of this epic battle, join us to finish the fight.
