October 5, 2009 - Alexandria, Va. – A sweeping oceans and Great Lakes management policy document proposed by the Obama Administration will have a significant impact on the sportfishing industry, America’s saltwater anglers and the nation’s coastal communities. The draft policy, the Interim Report of the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, issued on September 17, will govern federal Pacific and Atlantic Ocean waters and Great Lakes resource conservation and management and will coordinate these efforts among federal, state and local agencies. This past June, President Obama created the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force, led by the Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), to develop a draft national policy and implementation strategy for conserving and managing the United States ocean territory and the Great Lakes.

I hope this makes my union-member son wake up. He lives to fish, and this is the one thing that could make him actually take notice of what’s going on in the US right now.
Fish are in schools- they’re all unionized.
We want to ban midnight basketball at the White House!!
I think he hates Michigan.
The US has a treaty with Canada over issues concerning the Great Lakes, it would require approval of all states bordering a lake and Canada before any law could be changed.
Now Obama Wants to Ban Sport Fishing
Use a picture of his wife as a lure and that will be the end of ALL fishing.
Fits in with the UN Agenda 21 AND the Wildlands project..here is a 2004 FR posting of a 2001 article defining the Wildlands project. Maps for each of the states Wildlands projections have been unavailable on the internet for a few years now:

Where in the constitution does he find the authority to do anything has has already done?
Dem’s do you hear me? You have exceeded your authority.
Think of the millions of jobs lost after he does this.
Patience.
Allow the usurper to hang himself, but-good.
In the meantime just add fishermen/women to our 2010 "big tent". ;^)
I couldn’t find anything in the report about banning fishing. It does mention overfishing, but sportsfishermen should know that’s a legitimate concern. Not that I trust Obama people to do a good job, but if someone can find where in the report it proposes banning sport fishing, please post it.
I’m pretty sure the fed has the right to manage public lands and waters.
He’s still too cowardly to go after the rednecks with guns, so he is going after the rednecks with fishing poles.
Why should we interfere with Bummer when he is so busy destroying himself?
Gonna devalue vacation homes on the Great Lakes.
No fishing?
Why go?
For the view?
Yeah right?
Wait that is almost a Haiku!
“It does mention overfishing, but sportsfishermen should know that’s a legitimate concern.”
It’s none of the federal government’s business who fishes and where. Show me anything in the Constitution that mentions fishing . . . or for that matter, abortion, penumbras, privacy, 3 gallons per flush, automobile seatbelts, healthcare, and on and on ad naseum. IT’S NOT THERE!
I don’t care if it mentions overfishing or not . . . it’s not in the Constitution!!!!!!!! Is this thing on??????
The ocean is not public property, nor is my stock pond.
In Texas there is an unwritten understanding.
Leave us alone to live out lives in peace and we will get along fine, if that is not satisfactory we will deal with it.
That is almost like I feel about Washington DC. Leave us alone. OR ?
