the potential for the wholesale of a

Well, there's _potential_ for bigfoots...er, bigfeets...well, big hairy
sumbitches to come out of trees and eat babies...so let's be
prophylactic and cut down all the trees...or get rid of all the tempting
babies...LET'S DO SOMETHING FOR GAWDSAKES!!!

That's where the
nations best trout streams are, bar none. We are talking about millions
of anglers losing access and their streams for forever. It alos appears
that the mining companies won't be the only folks digging in.

This is perhaps the greatest anti-fly fishing measure I have ever seen
proposed by congress.

Uh, huh - so we should protect the FFing streams at the cost of the
national interest, or protect them for you, or...???...hmm...IAC, that
might not be enough...some rogue might not get in under the guise of
being a FFer. Let's REALLY protect things and just ban any and all
access. I know that a true conservationist such as yourself will be the
first to publicly pledge to never enter public land again because it
might damage things...

Gee Richard. He's making the perfectly valid point that people would
probably lose access to land if it is owned by private corporations as
opposed to being owned by the public, be they fly fishers, deer
hunters or mushroom pickers. How you got from that to keeping everyone
but flyfishers off the land is beyond me.

That too.

Wow that was perhaps the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen posted.

What kind of coldwater fly fishermen advocates selling off the national
forests? You do know where the best trout fishing is, don't you?

But I guess TU is just lying, and you are the one with all the
knowledge.

I would see your side, if I could find one bit of "national interest" beyond
personal enrichment on lands purchased on behalf of the nation as a whole.
Even with the exemptions, why should the government be selling off(at
bargain rates) National Forest lands??
Plus, if it was in the "National Interest", they probably wouldn't have to
sneak it into legislation, but could proudly pass it as a stand alone
measure........just my guess.

If so then give him a call *tonight* and ask that he vote to remove
against the budget reconciliation bill until Richard Pombo's public
land giveaway is removed.

Get real, how many of these gutless swine have even spoken up in the face of
all the corruption, fraud, incompetence, espionage, lies, torture, and
treason of the Bushies? It isn't about the USA anymore for these scum . . .
its just protecting their partisan funnel for all the bribes they can pack
in before the gravytrain crashes. And from what Ive seen your average
Republican voter these days is either too embarrassed or cowed to speak up,
or is still repeating 6 year old Monica blowjob jokes and staying half
soused. And the Christian whackjobs are running amuck.

Damn few intelligent Republicans are speaking up. (Hegel, Graham, McCain).
