I SMELL SOMETHING FISHY…
The MaObama administration recently published a document that outlines a structure that could result in closures of sport fishing in salt and freshwater areas across America. In June the White House created an Interagency Oceans Policy Task Force and gave them only 90 days to develop a comprehensive federal policy for all U.S. coastal, ocean and Great Lakes waters. And they’ve done it under the guise of ‘protecting’ these areas. The current second phase of the Task Force direction is to develop zoning which may permanently close vast areas of fishing waters nationwide. This is to be completed by December 9, 2009. As many of the programs created under Dear Leader – those most in need are suffering. Dave Pfeiffer, President of Shimano American Corporation explained, “In spite of extensive submissions from the recreational fishing community to the Task Force in person and in writing, they failed to include any mention of the over one million jobs or the 6o million anglers which may be affected by the new policies coast to coast. Input from the environmental groups who want to put us off the water was adopted into the report verbatim – the key points we submitted as an industry were ignored.” Why is this a big deal? Recreational fishing generates a $125 billion annual economy in the United States and supports jobs in every state according to government figures. Through the Sport Fish Restoration program, anglers have provided more than $5 billion through excise taxes on fishing tackle to fishery conservation and education for decades. So they’ve taken over the auto industry, are tightening the noose on family farmers, they’re telling us what we can drive and have created record unemployment. Oh no, he’s not trying to create a New World Order. Not…at…all.
