This situation changes hourly.[/center]
[/center]
It looks now as if wolf delisting may not happen because MORE AND MORE states want to prevent this disaster from coming to their state. And they don’t want to just let TWO states, Idaho and Montana off the hook. Or just four states, or five states to be delisted.
Or, in the case of the upper Midwest, they have been promised to delist for 20 plus years and have ZERO confidence it will happen without Congressional Action.
Amidst all this, there are tons of rumors and innuendos. They cut this deal, this guy said that, etc, etc. etc. TRUST us a little bit, till we have violated trust.
Just remember, one year ago, many sportsmen leaders said Congress would never do this. They will because they are hearing the power of the Sportsman Voice, and the Voice of Freedom and Liberty.
OUR POSITION STRENGTHENS EACH DAY, so we are [b]not cutting a Deal now, we want more states, not less. We want it for EACH state.
The Idaho Montana solution only will not pass, because Senators and Congressman from 20 plus other states, and growing daily, want all states done, not just two. Also, the propsed delist of these two states was a mother may I, not take care of business bill. So, why pass a bad bill ?
Some democrats – Boxer of CA doesn’t want any wolves delisted ever, apparently. It does not seem smart to me to make 10 million hunters mad, madder each day.
So, until the fire burns so hot in many Senators states like Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado, New Mexico, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Dakota, Virginia, West Virginia, etc, etc, etc, a few like Boxer holds out.
At some point, Many Democratic Senators will say, NOPE, can’t wait any longer, fire is too hot, Boxer, don’t care if you are the Chairwoman of the Resource Committee, you lose.
So, if you have a Democratic US Senator, please email them and ask them to support the S. 249 Hatch Bill, and officially co-sponsor.
Montana does not need to be delisted – Their Governor strapped on a pair and said to hell with the Feds, go kill lots of wolves, packs of wolves. Google Governor Sweitzer wolves, lots of news.
So, fellow sportsmen, Ranchers, and Business owners, just know, we have BROUGHT this to the forefront of the Attention of the US CONGRESS.
WE have a plan, we know what we are doing. WE are preparing a tactical nuclear strike, speaking metaphorically, if this issue isn’t solved soon.
There are plenty of enemies out there, we are not giving out our plan, just help us grow that Red map of sponsors and co-sponsors, each day.
We haven’t had time to update the sponsor map, we will soon, this weekend, as Congress recesses tomorrow.
WE ARE WINNING. I predict within 60 days.
The Enviros counter – Sue the Feds today and demand wolves are everywhere, and challenge the “legacy” of the Governor. Sweitzer could come to Republican states today and win election, and maybe some Republican Governors need to strap on a pair and follow Governor Sweitzers lead.
We will keep you posted as we can. It is CHAOS, minute by minute.
Once again, we have the Science, the biology, the economics, the politics, the wildlife on our side. We will not quit. We will not cut a bad deal. We will accept a deal if we get 95% of what is right. Till then, picking up support day by day.
Thanks

Dear Members,
Today, Matt Lumley and I were able to meet with Representative Lummis. Matt has been working with several of his contacts to line up potential sponsors from the Midwest which currently are not engaged in Congressional Action.
After speaking with Rep. Lummis, we learned that she was going to be introducing legislation to stop the Equal Access to Justice Act (EAJA) funding. For those which may not know or remember, the EAJA is the vehicle in which many environmental groups have been suing the US Government and banking millions of tax payer dollars. Matt & I were able to watch from the House Gallery as Representative Lummis introduced amendment 195 which halts funding to the EAJA. It is to force the Government to start providing some level of accountability over this program. The left came after this pretty hard but the amendment was passed comfortably. I am told that in a few days they will be bringing forward some language for us to review in order to help reform the EAJA.
As you can see from Don's email, things can swing rather abruptly. We were able to end the evening by visiting with Brian Clifford of Senator Barrasso's office, where we talked about strategy for achieving our objective of restoring wolf management authority to all states, not just a select few. WY SFW strongly supports the decision to remain focused on the big picture and the goal of restoring 10th amendment rights bestowed upon the states to all the states. We must remain vigilant and steadfast in our resolve to protect our North American Model of Wildlife Management from the threat of uncontrolled and continual expansion of large predator populations.
Thanks again to all for their support of our efforts. Your emails and phone calls definitely make a huge difference in the successful outcome and make it possible for me to achieve WY SFW's goals and objectives.
