Sorry Derf, I have given my word to Jim Keene and others from NCBBA and CHAPA. As soon as the information is released and it will be, I or someone will post it for you. All I can ask is for people to keep the faith. People are working very hard EVERY DAY for our access rights.

Hey Morty. I totally trust and support your leadership in our fight to keep our access rights.And I respect the fact that you will not go back on a promise.

 

But I do think that a lot of folks are put off by the idea that somehow we are going to pull a rabbit out of the hat at the last moment... or somehow catch our enemies by surprise with a "secret strategy" that is only known to a few " insiders"....

 

I can see that happening in a Perry Mason show or maybe in a trial with felony charges and millions of $ at stake, but we are talking about relatively small access and fishing clubs taking on the Federal Government.

 

It is unreasonable and unrealistic to expect support without an explanation of what is being supported.And it is extremely unlikely that keeping our strategy a secret will do any good at all.

 

Transparency within our organizations has to be the #1 goal of our leadership.

 

Regardless of what is lost...this is the most important thing.

I don't think you are going to get any movement on this issue with this Administration in office.

 

If they are willing to shut down the entire gulf oil operation, block a pipeline that hurts no one, would get us jobs and cheaper oil from our friends in Canada, and help lower gas prices when so many people are hurting in this economy in order to buy some votes from the green crowd then I would not hold your breath.

 

It did not stop them from going after the VA AI folks.

 

I truly wish it was otherwise.:mad:

Eric, it means more than a little to me that people support and trust my leadership and know that I am trying to do the right thing. I have put myself in a position that no one envies, I am sure of that. Now I understand why some of the other "insiders" do not post information, they get tired of being ostracized. I completely understand what is being said. Yes, I have insider information, but that comes from years and years of putting myself out there to try and change things with other organizations and fight for our access rights. Those people have trust in me and respect my views and opinions, as I do theirs. I refuse to give up and refuse to surrender to the idiotic bureaucracy we have dictacting to us where and when we can fish and the falsified reasons why. This is a passion for me. I don't expect people to understand why I do what I do, but I hope people know that I/we are doing all we can to turn the tide.

 

Change takes time and it is obvious that what was tried in the past has not worked. We are trying to change that by trying different tactics. I would hate to put myself and the other organizations out there by telling you what we are trying to do. WHY? For the same reason why this thread was hijacked. I respect the opinions voiced here about the issues, even as I was being talked down to.

 

I do not want to say, here it is, this is what we are doing and then have it fall to pieces. I am hesitant to post that information just for that reason. We are trying different things and asking for people to have faith and support our efforts rather than tear us down. Nothing is "totally" set in stone right now and for me to say different would not be the truth. Therefore, I cannot say here it is fellas, here is where we are doing. I am sorry people feel the way they do, but all I ask for is your support and understanding. I do not want to mislead anyone and all of the facts are not in yet. I can tell you that we are trying everything we can. I post because I do not want people to think that nothing is being done about our access issues and then I get hammered for it. Saying something prematurely about what we are trying could be viewed as misleading if it does not come through. That could be very damaging to the way we are veiwed, moreso than "not being transparent" IMHO. I would hate for someone to say "I thought you guys were going to do this or that" and not have it happen, because it fell through and I spoke prematurely.

 

I can say it is not easy sitting here typing this, I feel like the red headed step child that no one wants to fish with. I mean no discord and do not harbor ill feeelings, I just ask for your understanding and support. Some of you reading this know my plight, know my passion and know I would not mislead anyone. When I have something solid, I will post it immediately, until then all I ask for is your support and understanding.

 

I know we ALL are disgusted, frustrated and fed up with the access issues that surrounds us, but there are people trying as hard as they can for your access rights. I hope you understand where I am coming from.
