Hoss the NRA do not support privatization of public land just because they do not come out and openly support public land does not mean they support private land. Your rationalization of support is BS to say the least. To say they support companies that support privatization of public land you better have evidence to back that up. I have tryed to do research on the company's you listed in post 118 and only could find true support of the 2 Amendment by NSSF, Kimber and Remington the other organizations show no more support than what the NRA clearly states in there email reply to you and others. I do not expect all of these organizations to have a strong stance on gun rights that is not there platform and that is not why people join them.
To use the Sierra club as support for your position is clearly a slap in the face of any true sportsman you state they have over 2 million members yes that is true but it is also true that is over 2 million people that are against hunters, fisherman, atv/utv users livestock use, and any right to use the land as most westerners Grandfather's intended it to be used and my Grandfather's gave to much blood, sweat and tears for me to excuse there lying and borderline terrorist actions.
Hoss I do support Public land and not allowing it to go private but in my opinion the way you are going about it is not going to win a lot of support.
You keep going after the Republicans and some are for privatization of public land but you name me a Democrat that will support the traditional values that the Republican support. Traditional values is just as dear to me as public land is. What about spending do you support the Democrats and spend the country in to bankruptcy. How about the people can of a state can vote how they want issues in there state to be handled but the Democrat's do not respect the vote of the people and judicially take are rights away and please do not through Independents at me I have yet too see one that does not join one organization or the other and as I stated they normally join the Democrats they just claim to be Independents to get votes in a strong Republican district.
I do believe you are a Traditionalist and have strong family values so please give me some names of some politicians I can support with Traditional values and support the other things I have stated matters to me and I am sure you too care about these tbings. Just because I want the perfect candidate don't mean there is one out there quite the opposite we usually have too take the good with the bad.
