Glaring omission from that article: Republican candidates and legislators are paid to oppose protection of public lands by their biggest donors: Big oil, mining, manufacturing. Meaning that even if the author's pipedream were to come true with Republican voters opposing those candidates on the payroll of extractive industries, $$$ wins elections. Is that what our founders intended?
Draining the swamp failed. It has become a sewer, thanks in large part to Citizens United. We now have the best gov't $ can buy, and it is ruining our country.
I'm finished. Soapbox available.
Turning everything into a R vs D debate doesn’t change anything for the better long term. If we want a robust lobby outdoorsmen should work hard to only advance good candidates in their preferred party. We are strongest when both parties know our votes cannot be taken for granted and when we actively lobby both sides and support only those candidates who take our concerns seriously.
Elkduds nailed it, and it's going to be the downfall of our country.
Citizens United will stand as the single worse thing to happen to our country in this generation. I would argue it has, and will continue to have, a larger lasting impact than the death toll of either WWs. And the same judges that support our gun rights handed to us. There clearly is no one direction to go, no one answer, and we as a country seem to just keep making more and more terrible choices. I don't see a way out at this point, there's no turning around. We are Rome.

We've, as a forum of hunters, gone down this road several times. Many of us are either one issue voters or 1-3 issue voters, and for many on here those top priorities are not conservation. There's really no where to go in this discussion.
I read the ruling in its entirety, an not just a bridged summery and I stand by my thoughts that in it’s short time it as done more harm to our Republic then any other modern rul
The LONG TERM impact is almost unimaginable.
