Richards no quitter
 

Today Fish and Game Commission President Dan Richards emphatically refused to resign. He granted WON an interview, and you can also see his letter responding to Hueso. It's a must read.

:luxhello: I was patiently waiting for his response.

Gambling? Hell, all those politicians would have been crucified for their visits to the Chicken Ranch. All kidding aside, he put together a very good response :luxhello:.

A cool headed, respectable politician? I never knew those words could actually be used in the same sentence! Richards is the man. Give him all of your support because he is the only fair figure in the commission. Outdoorsman=Good Political Figure. America needs more help from guys like him.

Love it...I would have like to have been a fly on the wall in that office when his response was read , that would have been great..."none of your business" strong...:reel:

I'm not a hunter, and have no interest in doing so. But I support Richards right to hunt legally 100%. The fact that the LEGAL things you do in your free time could cause you to lose a position or job, just makes my head spin. Please write your state representative and the Lt. Gov. on Richards behalf.

I sent Lt. Gov Newsome an email. If you send him an email, letter, or call remind him to not throw stones from his glass house. Esp since he banged his campaign managers wife.

I just told Gavin Newsom that Dan isnt going anywhere "Whether you like it or not!"

Newsom is a prick...

Mr. Richards, very nice letter...:notworthy:

And, uh, Benjamin, ---->:leaving:

Standing his ground. Excellent :cheers1:

Great response from Mr. Richards.

Sheesh...I always thought Newsome was gay. :rolleyes:

I wrote him a nice letter too. ;)

Thanks for the link. I gave him my two cents. I was definately fired up when I heard (finally) the response to this weak-@ss attempt to get him out of there. Sounds like we finally have a sportsman for a commisioner.

thanks PAL for sharing; reading something like this is always a good way to start your morning.....:)

truly it is refreshing to see someone like DW Richards in a position of power that has similar views as all of us. unfortunately most of the politicians in srewamento aren't the same. :mad:

Thanks PAL.

Dan Richards is the voice of reason...
FIGHT ON.

Everyone should stand up and take notice....

This is a prime example of Kalifornia Quack Liberal activity. You can not sit on your a$$ and let these people dictate to you, tell you how to run your life, or make the decisions they deem are in your best interest.

-They're Wrong - plain and simple, and its wrong for anyone to force feed you A Life.
----------------------------
Instead I sincerely hope it encourages each and every one of you to step up when your freedoms are threatened (as so many of us have done in the past few years ) and rub their faces in the gravel.

Fight back at every opportunity and resist complacency.
----------------------------
We are stronger then they are and we can win.

We are winning and will continue to Win.

Fight Back Hard! Fight to Win !

Especially when we're the ones paying these jackasses through our taxes. You're right, it's time to stand and fight.

My supposedly conservative local representatives didn't do jack $h1# when it came to the MLPA. They damn well better lend some support to Dan Richards. :mad:

Right on... Damn it. Absolutely right.

Pile on, pile on, pile on that Kayak America Fishing support link.

Richards has earned our support.

And if there's any way you can, run up to Riverside on the 7th for the next commission meeting. It should be a zoo, complete with nutcases on parade. Afterward, roll to Long Beach for Fred Hall's opening day.

Done...twice, one for OTHER and one for Water Issues/Concerns.

Seems Brown needs specific info...

Clay sent a letter as well.

Thanks Pal...:reel:

Emails sent. BTW, on KFI John and Ken briefly talked about Richards yesterday, and said they might have him on today.

Letter sent.......and fuck the mlpa!

“His influence on the commission has been marginalized,” Hueso claimed.

Richards could very well lose his position as president regardless.
His fellow commissioners on Wednesday quietly repealed the rules that govern how presidents are chosen. That 4-1 vote, with Richards opposing, sets the stage for commissioners to potential demote Richards at its May 23 meeting.

“He wasn’t elected by a majority,” Hueso said. “That’s a loophole that needs corrected.” The surprise move was made long after large numbers of hunters and fisherman, who spent the morning praising Richards and urging him to stand firm, had left the meeting.



Tell us about it.
Todays new question in the UT.
Does it matter to you that a California fish and game commissioner legally killed and ate a mountain lion in another state?
1. Yes
2. No
