[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 488451, member: 30671"] Gone Ballistic I read your post and I think we say pretty close to the same thing. Yielding to blackmail and caving in seems like the same thing to me. What would the issue look like today if Idaho and Montana Governors had said keep your Pittman Robinson dollars, and by the way, we won't investigate or prosecute any wolf cases, and we'll vigorously protect our wildlife and livestock. They proposed an anemic solution they knew the Feds would accept. When you ask about "inferring they are crooked and liars" are you asking about the Feds, or the RMEF? If my sentence structure laid the Feds lies at RMEF's doorstop I apologize. My issue with them is their total disconnect from the issue. Our local sportsmens group has their show this weekend RMEF will be there. Year after year they actually refuse to answer the simple question "where do you stand on the wolf issue"? They refuse to even talk about it. Is speech outside their mandate? What changed so they could finally issue a position letter? Has the national organization been muzzling the local chapters? They could have lent their voices if not their dollars to the issue long ago. I thought it was pretty symbolic that all the trophy heads disappeared from their headquarters, and it's turned into just another roadside tourist trap. What would the wolf issue look like today if the hunter's in RMEF all sent back their memberships, and withheld their donations? That's what banding together looks like to me! If you get responses from RMEF I'd love to hear them. You are correct the issue is at least a couple of layers deeper than wolf, and my bet is you and I agree on way more than we disagree on. If you find yourself in Spokane, I'll buy the burgers, and we can dis-"cuss" it until we shave the edges off places we disagree, [/QUOTE]
