I spent a day at a DNR meeting in Lansing, 10/30, followed
by the Native American treaty education meeting at Walker on the way home.
Both meetings confirmed that the National NRA is the #1 reason for the failure
of the DNR funding. Since our Lansing meeting was held at the MUCC
office, I said hi to Dennis Muchmore. He is flying out today to
Washington to meet with the NRA. The NRA's DNR funding sabotage was also
brought out at our Michigan Charterboat 10/20 meeting in Ludington. It was
noted yesterday that the NRA is only targeting Michigan as dirty politics
to help their right-wing Republicans in 2008. The NRA is willing to
sabotage the Michigan DNR funding today (blame the Democrats) for long term
future right-wing politics. The NRA's plan is to claim they don't want to
raise hunting fees to not lose anymore hunters. That is a red herring
lie! The NRA is not claiming any of that in any of the other states
that are raising their fees, only Michigan, because it is presently a blue
state! The Michigan DNR is damn mad! They had a permanent long term
funding plan ready to submit by October and the NRA deliberately sabotaged the
DNR's plan. The NRA "Sportsmen for Bush" hypocrites don't give a damn
about the future welfare of wildlife management in Michigan as they are pure #1
priority 'gun nuts' and absolutely nothing else
matters. |
