Featuring Melissa Simpson, the former(?) oil and gas lobbyist who tried to eliminate Roadless Areas under HR 1581 and reduce elk hunting opportunity for Americans, Representative Jason Chaffetz who wants to sell off your public lands, Crazy Michelle Bachman, Jeff Foxworthy, Wade Boggs, a passel of racing team owners and drivers and....

Dandy Don Peay.

The list reads like a whos who of the anti-wildlife and anti-public lands crowd with a few notable exceptions.

So do you support Romney? And your thoughts on his conservation beliefs?

Thanks for the post! I was on the fence but I'm definitely voting for Romney now.

I notice there is no bankrupt green energy CEO's on the list......

Whom I support is not important.

My thoughts on his conservation beliefs are this: I don't think he has any. He has surrounded himself with people who are actively trying to sell off public lands, erode wilderness, eliminate roadless areas and eliminate what few regulations are left on public land when it comes to oil and gas development.

He has a few people on there I know personally, and only one that I trust. So perhaps that's a ray of sunshine.

SCI had an interview with Ryan a week or so ago, he expanded on the public land issues some in that.
Its on the internet.

 

[Ben Lamb]

Outdoor Life did too. Ryan claims that he meant the excess buildings and instillation. However, that's not what's in the Path to Prosperity budget.

You're right, it doesn't matter who you support and is unimportant - didn't mean to offend. The second question is what I was really curious about. I agree with you as your assessment that Romney doesn't have any conservation beliefs. Ryan is one of those that is definitely one of those wanting to sell of public lands...

Interesting that he has decided to surround himself with a crew like this with these beliefs...

Hopefully your fellow Montanans agree next month... because 'whom' you support is obvious.

 

[WyOpitz]

It's kind of a pickle...we may POSSIBLY lose some access to federal lands??? I say just as likely as losing some of our gun rights. What I do know is that it sure as hell won't matter when we are 20-30 TRILLION dollars in debt in the next ten years. No one will be able to afford to hunt anyways...not legally!

My support was Romney's to lose. Not happy with my choices on this.

 

[Straight Arrow]

I could find no candate participating in the national presidential debate last evening for whom I want to vote. Pathetic state of national affairs!

Any chance the Yankees will win tonight? Will Arod be on the bench?

Hmm, if Arod is on the bench then the only sure thing is any hot chicks near the bench will definitely be loosing ....

Doing a meet and greet with Rick Santorum tomorrow at lunchtime. I kinda liked some of his ideas but he fizzled. Don't know how busy he will be, for he's here stumping for R&R, so might not be able to ask a pertinent question concerning policy for public land but will try.

Ben, more than 200 U.S. Representatives are on that list in addition to almost 50 advisories, but you manage to cherry-pick a handful of those who you find oppressive. I'd be more worried about a $16 trillion debt that is rising by the billions every month. Watch the news today about Spain. It is coming to the U.S., certainly with the re-election of Obama and "Uncle Joe" Biden.

My wife and I mailed in our absentee ballots today for Romney/Ryan.

Vote for Obama, I don't really care. Most of Helena, MT will do the same. You can always count on Helena, home of government employees, and Missoula, home of wacky liberals, and the Indian reservations in Montana to vote for Democrats.

Forward!

I live in central Houston - my neighbours would all rather sell off public lands to fund national public radio. Big Bird has more fans than elk or real birds. Who-ever wins, we need to stay active, and let the clowns in Washington know what is important to us.

One thing is for sure that everyone that goes to the poles knows that they are worse off financially now then they were 4 years ago.

And way worse than I was 12 years ago

If we sell off all of the national lands, where will the reintroduced wolves go?
