Antis want fish stocking STOPPED!
Hey, what did I say a few years back about stocking programs and the antis~
December 2008 American Sportfishing Association Policy Watch
Policy Watch is a monthly update for the sportfishing community about the American Sportfishing Association’s Government Affairs activities.
California DFG Stocking Program Threatened
The Pacific Rivers Council and the Center for Biological Diversity recently sued the California Department of Fish and Game (DFG) over non-native fish stocking. These stocking programs have been used as a management tool for more than 100 years. The groups filed the lawsuit over concerns regarding depredation of the native frog population and that no Environmental Impact Report (EIR) had been completed for the programs. The result was a court order barring the DFG from non-native stocking until it completed an EIR in January 2010.
After weeks of negotiation between the DFG and the plaintiffs, a new order was signed in late November allowing the DFG to stock more waters than would have been allowed under the first ruling. This is an important modification for areas where communities depend on fishing. ASA’s position is that it is unnecessary to label trout and other stocked species as “non-native” due to the longevity of the stocking program. The stocked species have a very high recreational value and contribute significantly to local economies.

Now that you've read it does this article burn your ass as much as it does mine? Better yet, What the hell kind of Judge would even let that argument enter the court room?
I'd say its a Judge looking to be replaced.....unless that is he was voted in under the CHANGE policy this past November.

Bullet sizing dies on the cheap
If you don't want to spend a $100.00 r more for few sizing dies then here is a trick I've done for a few folks in the past.
Take a 7/8" dial X 14 thread bolt.
This thread size will fit in your press. Check first~you know the deal
Find a drill close to the dia you need. 31/64 is .4844" [.4921 is 12.5 mm]
Cut the hex off of the bolt
Find someone who has a lathe and drill the hole all the way through the bolt. You can do this in a drill press it just takes a few minutes longer to find center.
Make up a piece of wood dowel rod wrapped with fine sand paper to clean up the tool marks.
Take a round grinding stone, the cheap kind that fits in you drill motor and chamfer the bolt hole a tad. Just enough to round it off so the bullets self center at the start.
You can thread it in your press and use a dowel rod , like the one left over from sanding; to push the bullets through or do them by hand.
Or give me a call
Good luck

Worried about welfare increases STOP
To many people are fixated on New York's budget increase for welfare recipients~ so stop it, RIGHT NOW.
It’s an investment~
A few prices have dropped but it is nothing to brag about, NY State made millions on all increases in products the last 18 months. That is something you don't hear them talk about when whining about the losses. Things like cell phone and internet that have reaped billions of tax dollars are not mentioned either.
20 years ago these taxes never existed.
1. Welfare gets an increase because it is tied to the U.S. agricultural department.
2. Don't forget about the new 2 million people who have lost jobs in the last year they are entitled to support as well.
3. A government can’t very well give billions to millionaires and not send a few dollars to a guy who has worked 30 years for a company that went tits up because the CEO is a thief.
Welfare increases don't bother me near as much as all the corporate and government thieves who approved the fleecing of America.
The government will always throw out a hot topic such as welfare to distract the people from what is really going on.
AND sad to say people fall for it.
Don’t read the media reports on NY budget go and read the actual 88 budget items.
Government people like Obie-1 never use the word “spend” any more, the new word is always an “investment” in our youth, country, security, policy.
No matter how you wrap it; horseshit is still horseshit even though some call it manure.

NY Pheasant program gone
Sportsmen swindled by DEC and antis
Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 4:26 PM
Subject: Game farm info
Fred,
I asked DEC spokesman Yancy Roy today what would be the fate of the stocking program now that the game farm is closing. Here is his answer. I guess that's that. It was fun while it lasted.
Jeff Hope this statement helps:
The closure of the farm reflects the end of the pheasant stocking program, not a shift to alternative sources of birds. A final decision has not been made as to usage of the facility going forward.
Yancy=
The alternative was for NY to open a dove season, as Fed Neff of the Syracuse area has been lobbying for years to do.
Any loss of hunting,fishing,trapping and/or animal use by humans always makes them happy. bpb

NY's 88 fee increases & cuts to sportsmen's programs
88 yes 88 new taxes or :"fees" as they are named by government 88
What frost my nards is the bottle bill tax will go into the environmental fund pit never to be seen by anyone ever again.
I also have a lifetime hunt/fish license I see they did not discuss what I asked at the Grannis meeting & that was how do you propose to give us life timer's our special tags?
As I read off some of Patterson's list to the wife I replied; that I'd rather have a property tax increase, that way I could at least write it off.
BTW did you all see the 18% tax on beverages to help combat obesity?
Their is another healthy tax that will go into some administrators bonus check.
What Patterson fails to undrestand while the state is looking at laying off some 3,000 odd employes they never mention if they are part time'rs, seasonal, contract or full time. 3k out of almost 200,000 state employees. You know as well as I do that all government and corporations are filled with top heavy administration.
Maybe this will force those who were promoted under the special peoples & promote a moron act to come back to base camp and deal with some of the problems they initiated. OUCH
The state tosses out unemployed statics like they are including all unemployed. If you all remember a few years back many states adopted a benifits for pay plan. In his plan they only paid benifits for say a year after hat the unemployed were dropped from the states unemployment rolls.
If we have a 7.6% actual counted unemployment, (that is if you believe the government figures) rate then the real numbers ma well by %15 or more.
The state & feds plan is to let the people pay for the criminal acts of the government and private CEO’s million’s of golden retirements & fleecing America.
Can't even protest:
Now if we host a sit in or march on the government they’ll just call it a terrorist act and toss us all in one of those FEMA camps.
Then again lets hit the schools:
We might start at home by attending school budget meetings and protest anything but education? I see Rochester had a bone tossed at them for another theater in Renaissance Square. Oh goodie I say, another theater to go with the other 2 losers on opposing corners of the block.
Maybe I can get on board and support the purchase of a leaky broke dick boat to float our leaders off into he sunset in.
I’ll name it the “Fairies to Freedom” !

The Founders’ Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms
By Stephen P. Halbrook, Ph.D., J.D.Published by Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, for
The Independent Institute, 2008 448 Pages, Hardcover, Index, 6 x 9
Monday, December 15, marks America's Bill of Rights Day, the anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. To commemorate this event, the SECOND AMENDMENT BOOK BOMB website has been created, a unique and powerful way to communicate the importance of the Bill of Rights' Second Amendment for the protection of liberty. With your help, we can launch constitutional rights to the top of national book bestseller lists, making a loud and clear statement that Second Amendment rights are inalienable!
The Second Amendment has already won a historic victory on June 26, 2008, when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the landmark case of District of Columbia v. Heller that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to own and bear arms. However, the Heller ruling was immediately attacked and efforts continue on the national level and across the country to undermine gun rights. Therefore, to secure the Second Amendment now and for the future the American public must be made aware of the reasons why the Founders sought to protect this right.
And now we have the tool to do so. Fascinating, seminal, and inspiring, the new book, THE FOUNDERS' SECOND AMENDMENT: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms, by Dr. Stephen P. Halbrook*, is the perfect way both to educate ourselves and to reach friends and family who don't yet understand Second Amendment rights. Our goal is to reach one million Americans with Dr. Halbrook's book during the Holiday Season and throughout the New Year ahead. Will you help?
To achieve this goal the SECOND AMENDMENT BOOK BOMB website has been established to create a phenomenon so great that even the mainstream media will have to take notice. Let's spread THE FOUNDERS' SECOND AMENDMENT so far and wide that Americans across the political spectrum, and all walks of life, will be discussing the Second Amendment in every possible venue.
With your help, we can make Dr. Halbrook's book #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. To make this happen, please go to the website and pledge to buy at least one copy of the book before or on the December 15th SECOND AMENDMENT BOOK BOMB date. Let's make this the most amazing and explosive event ever on the right to bear arms, and declare in no uncertain terms that the Second Amendment will be around for a very long time to come.
*Stephen P. Halbrook is a Research Fellow at the Independent Institute and author of THE FOUNDERS' SECOND AMENDMENT: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms. Having won three cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, he filed an Amici Curiae Brief in District of Columbia v. Heller on behalf of 55 members of the Senate, the Senate President, and 250 members of the House of Representatives.

Gee ain't that at shocker to sportsmen who told ya all watchout for change.
Friends:
As you may of you know the Missisquoi and Trout Rivers in Northern Vermont are being studied for a “Wild and Scenic” Designation”. Given his history, why would Congressman Grijalva be concerned about the Wild and Scenic Designation’s potential impacts on the use of weapons? Something just doesn’t add up.

Grijalva called the proposal unconscionable and stated that the proposed change would create grave risks for Park employees, visitors, and wildlife alike. The Department of Interior proposed last month to change decades-old regulations that prohibit visitors from carrying loaded weapons. Under current regulations, weapons may be in the possession of visitors but must be unloaded and inaccessible, i.e., locked in a trunk or other storage container. This rule was enacted to protect visitors and employees, and as a measure to prevent poaching of wildlife in Parks. “The last thing visitors to our National Parks should have to worry about is the idea that some of their fellow visitors could be packing heat as they tour the battlefield at Gettysburg, camp along a river in Yosemite, or visit the grave of Martin Luther King, Jr.,” stated Rep. Grijalva. “There is a legitimate reason for keeping guns inaccessible in our Parks, and the Bush Administration’s attempt to roll back this important safety measure is nothing but pandering to the interest groups who would like to see any and all sensible restrictions on guns abolished.”Click on the link below to view the letter.

Contact President-elect Obama’s Transition Team And Urge Appointment Of Congressman Raul Grijalva (D-AZ) As Secretary of Interior
Please help us assure our country has a Secretary of Interior who really cares about the public lands, wild horses, burros, and all the other animals who share our beautiful country. Rep. Raul M Grijalva (D-AZ) may be emerging as the top contender for the post, according to Politico.com, and we think he'd make a fine pick.
Click here to go straight to an auto-e-mail you can send quickly, or read on for more information.
The Interior Department oversees federal lands, national parks, and endangered species. It will play a leading role in greenhouse gas regulation in coming years. Grijalva has introduced several bills in Congress to restore and protect federal lands, and he has spoken on behalf of wild horses on our public land.
As an Arizona Representative, Congressman Grijalva has a 100% record on animal issues. In addition, as Chairman of the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands he has been instrumental in advancing fair and balanced use of federal parks, recreational areas, and public lands with ranching, hunting, mining and oil interests.
Representative Grijalva honored the Arizona Heber wild horses in the Congressional Record in 2007, and he supported expanding the Heber wild horse territory in the Apache Sitgreaves National Forest. He is a champion of all wildlife and companion animals.

Gee ain't that at shocker to sportsmen who told ya all watchout for change.
Friends:
As you may of you know the Missisquoi and Trout Rivers in Northern Vermont are being studied for a “Wild and Scenic” Designation”. Given his history, why would Congressman Grijalva be concerned about the Wild and Scenic Designation’s potential impacts on the use of weapons? Something just doesn’t add up. Any insight would be appreciated. Read Below

Reynolds Game Farm Closing
Sent: 12/5/2008 4:29:58 P.M.
Eastern Standard Time
Subj: Closure of the Reynolds Game Farm
FYI>>> Patricia Riexinger 12/5/2008 3:01 PM >>>
I have very little information to share, other than to advise that as part of the state's effort to address the budget shortfalls, we have been told verbally by the administration to close the Reynolds Game Farm and dispose of the birds as quickly as possible. We are attempting to identify viable alternatives for orderly execution of the directive, though the short notice and lateness of the season will make this a very difficult task. We passed word to Game Farm staff yesterday, and Gordon Batcheller has traveled to Ithaca today to meet with staff.
We hope to match staff reassignments up as best we can with their interests and Division needs. We don't know if the property and facility itself will remain a Department asset, nor the timetable for its disposition. Pheasant propagation has been a very visible and popular part of the state's wildlife management program since the establishment of a game farm in Sherburne in 1909.
The Reynolds Farm has been in operation since 1927, and since 1999 has been the sole facility supporting the statewide pheasant program. The game farm staff have always been extremely professional and dedicated to doing a first rate job to meet the desires of sportsmen and landowners; I encourage you to join me in supporting them in the weeks ahead. The Commissioner still intends to meet with sportsmen to discuss this with them but word is getting out quickly and we wanted to have you hear about the impending closure from us.
We are developing a communication plan; Yancey's on board; and I'm glad it's the weekend. I promise to keep you posted.
