Just finished a River Runs Through it!
Saw this on another site.
With the recent news of Gov Spitzer nominating Alexander Grannis to head the NYS DEC, many sportsmen across NYS have mobilized, using this very grave threat to Outdoors Conservation and Recreation as our rallying cry to unite, and uniting we are!
Below is a letter that has been forwarded out by a fellow sportsmen. Since the confirmation process requires a vote from the NYS SENATE, we need to contact our respective Senators and express our opposition to confirming Mr Grannis. We must act soon.
If you do not wish to use the letter found at the end of this message, you may use the one that I sent in as well, or craft your own.
Dear Senator ;
I write this to you over my grave concerns regarding the nomination of Alexander "Pete" Grannis to become Commissioner of the NYS DEC. Considering his well-known record of being against trapping, hunting and being anti 2nd Amendment rights, this nominee would do severe, if not devastating damage to the vital, and extremely lucrative industries hunting, trapping and fishing represents to NYS, industries which through tax revenues and conservation fund contributions, buttress NYS ability to protect the natural resources the Department is charged to protect. Through his own political agenda, this ability would be crippled. The people of NYS deserve much better.
This department should be run by qualified Biologists and Habitat Managers, not career politicians, as our natural resources deserve to be protected devoid of political agendas.
I urge you to please deny your support to this nomination, and speak with your colleagues to do the same. We need a true conservationist running this department, not someone with a political agenda.
Sincerely
