Title: Lead bait issue is being fought by TBF In NH
Post by: motocross269 on February 06, 2007, 09:57:55 PM
I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but I just recieved it in my FLW Newsletter...

It looks like the Anti-fishing Lobbyists are at work.  I guess it is no surprise really.  We will all be digging deeper into our pockets for tungsten.

Don't throw in the towel yet. It's been brought up in Michigan the past few years too, but we've kept it from coming out of committee so far.

That is why we need organizations like the TBF to stand up and lobby for us as a unified front.  Most of the time the squeeky wheel (maybe reel) gets the oil...

Oh man could I get on a soap box on this one!!! All I will say though everyone wants a strong military,,They just don't want it to effect them in anyway...You wouldn't believe the complaints I have seen over the years...Noise, Dust, planes flying too low, soldiers taking all of our girlfriends,  etc, etc...
It is kind of like prisons...The same guys that are saying "lock all 'em all up" are complaining about having a prison in their backyard...

It is very important to get involved...Don't wait for someone to fight the fight for you. Without people like Dan and Dennis and organizations like TBF, Peta would have us fishing without hooks.
