How can any hunter support the Democrat party?

Senate Bill 1655: Senators who know absolutely nothing about Hunting attempting to control it.

Legislation is now before the Senate Judiciary Committee that could seriously jeopardize game programs across the country by starting to federalizing hunting laws. Senate Bill 1655 would put a "one size fits all" policy on wildlife management activities that ignores the diverse hunting culture in this country. Sportsmen across the nation need to contact their U.S. Senators in opposition to this bill.

The members are:
Patrick Leahy (D-VT) 202-224-4242 Chairman
Joseph Biden (D-DE) 202-224-5042

MY COMMENTS.... What these sponsors know about hunting wouldn't fill a 17 HMR brass! The 17 HMR brass is much smaller than a thimble. Want to tell me there is no difference between Republicans and Democrats? At least we have a Republican President that has actually been out in the field hunting and he can veto any such stupid legislation if it every happens to pass!

CAUTION.... The real threat to freedom here is liberal incrementalism in controlling and eventually eliminating every freedom. The exotic animal part is only the first step in stopping all hunting. Remember how they only wanted to "just have separate smoking areas" in airplanes?

Hunters Supporting Democrats -- NOT!

Here is a poll taken on the CA Gubernatorial Race at the Jesse's Hunting Page.

Tells you where hunters stand in CA. I don't know what is wrong with the 2 misguided voters!

Good Hunting... from Varmint Al

I got a real funny one for you; ready?
A Kennedy speaks about her support for sportsman's rights. I almost died laughing when I read this, but then I realized that some stupid hunters might believe her.

Dear Friends:

Hunting and fishing are part of a historic tradition that makes Maryland such a wonderful place to live, to work, and to simply enjoy the outdoors. The next Governor of Maryland will have a profound impact on the quality of Maryland's environment and on your traditional right to hunt, fish, and trap. I want you to know that I will stand up for your rights, and that I will work to expand your outdoor opportunities with conservation programs that work for sportsmen and sportswomen.

During this campaign, I have had the pleasure of meeting with many leaders of the sportsmen's community. I have made it clear that I intend to earn your support based both on my positions and my values, which are consistent with most sportsmen in the State. These are my commitments to you:

Maryland's wildlife and fisheries policies will be governed by the principles of science, not by emotional rhetoric or political whims;

Maryland'ss proud traditions of hunting and fishing will be embraced by my Administration, and we will support programs to engage our youth in these cherished family activities;

Maryland will take no action to deprive law abiding sportsmen of their firearms, and we will support hunter safety and education programs;

Maryland will expand public hunting opportunities on existing public land and through continued open space acquisitions at state and local levels;

Maryland will pursue aggressive conservation programs to enhance the quality of our environment for future generations; and, Maryland's government will be open to you and your ideas during my Administration.

Not too long ago, I was asked a series of sportsmen-related questions in a survey by the Maryland Sportsmen Association (MSA). My responses earned me an A-minus grade. You can view MSA's survey questions and my responses by visiting MSA's website: [url]http://www.marylandsportsmen.org/candidates/index.htm#gov[/url] . You should know that my candidacy has been endorsed by the Recreational Fishing Alliance, the Maryland League of Conservation Voters, and many of the State's top sportsmen.

Hunters and anglers were one of the earliest and most vocal supporters of conservation and wildlife management. I am proud of the support I've received from people that enjoy Maryland's outdoors, and you can trust that I will champion your cause. I respectfully ask for your vote on November 5th. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend
