We are only "The Land of the Free" because of the brave that were willing to give their lives. The young man in the video spoke some powerful words but the most powerful were "Freedom carries with it a price". When we are no longer willing to pay that price we will forever lose the freedom that we have always fought so hard for.

at the request of a friend in July I took out 4 guys on my boat for a charter. At 6 am they showed up with a cooler, some food and a box. They told me that they had something to take care of, and that one of thier friends had told them about me and my boat. I had just figured it was another charter with some good Creatures... After running about 20 off I pulled the boat down and shut her off and they all went over to the side and scouped out thier friend by hand into the water. It seemed like an hour went by on the bridge watching them and all the time it felt like I couldn't breathe. We all had a great day fishing caught some smaller dolphins and after I got home sitting on the dock I felt lucky enough to just be there. It is too bad some people don't stand up for whats right and just in this world.

Higher taxes and less National Security, is that really what half our population wants?
+35% Capital gains tax will surely push investment over-seas and the trickle down effect has to be less jobs?? NOAA / NMFS can only benefit with a Fisher/Hunter woman in office who understands conservation and the importance of responsible harvest. |
