Doesn't surprise me at all in his thanking the other organizations so it looks like BGF was the bigshot in getting it done. What a bunch of losers this SFW/BGF crowd is!!!

Check this out: http://www.arizonasportsmenforwildl...ent&view=category&layout=blog&id=60&Itemid=89 Here AZSFW tries to contort what actually happened, and give BGF/SFW credit for delisting. Even though they admit, it was not their BS, no support, just for show bill, that did not pass. Some how they claim they did the "heavy lifting". Really? they were against the Simpson-Tester amendment.
My favorite is what follows, pleas for donations, so AZSFW can recertify as a SUPERPAC! When was the last time you saw a "conservation organization", ask for donations, so they could certify as a political superpac?
At least AZSFW dropped the "fish" part of the name, considering Don sold fishermen up the river(private now) a long time ago.
Something else that folks may not know about SFW, is their anti wilderness stance. This is sometimes hushed and tiptoed around by them. That is where the rest of their money and political influence comes from.
Please help defund these guys: http://www.change.org/petitions/uta...nvention-permits-to-august-agenda-action-item

***That sounds more like a PETA ad if you change a couple words here and there, LOL! The letter by Gilstrap, a top ranking compadre of DP, in the link provided by DougFir above is basically saying: "Hey all you dummies out there! Please continue to fill my pocketbook with all those donations and membership dues!"

signed the petition. Watched the youtube video which was great. I know SFW/BGF don't understand nor support the public trust doctrine. And I do not know the relationship between them and Ted Lyon. But I do personally know that Ted Lyon played a significant role in getting wolves delisted. From what I know, he did and does good work.
