RNG,

I absolutely agree with your assessment of the GOP. My hope is for Reichert because he is electable in King County from past history (Sheriff, Congress). I got to meet him two weeks ago and passed on a paper outlining some fishery issues, plus commenting on how the Commission has morphed into an anti organization to sportsmen (and women). He listened. Bird is a yahoo. Reichert CAN be elected. He just needs to get thru the primary. Salmon anglers in our state continue to fail to grasp what could be. If all of us would donate twenty bucks to a pro fishing organization, we could have control of our fishing fate. But we don't. Lobbyists make a difference, and donations mean a lot. We could do all of that. It takes money.
