Says page not found when I click on the site? bad news???
I fixed the link.
Thanks Ralph! I guess it is good news, not getting to far are they??? Yeah!!!
47,000 signatures is ALOT….
Very difficult to read that “Save our Elk” site… the logic is purely backwards…
3 scenarios:
1. not enough signatures.
2. enough signatures and gets on the ballot but doesn’t pass.
3. enough signatures and gets on the ballot and passes.
From there Feds take back management or IDFG doesn’t give up management and nothing changes.
For the anti-wolfers this is an exercise in futility.
4th scenerio:
4. Gillett buys a new truck and remodels his place with the proceeds
Yeah, I should have added that one too.
Petition or not, judging by the current law regarding wolves I would say they have the upper hand
Never underestimate the power of insanity. This man THINKS he has a huge following. Something gave him that idea.
Given the real pull of the cult mentality, we can’t count him out yet. We really need to be countering with legitimate info in the areas he is trying to reach.
Remember vicki he is reading this to see what the “far left” is saying…. don’t want to give out too much info!
That is one of the (many) things wrong with the way guys like Ron Gillett approach this issue: they think it is a political issue.
However, it shouldn’t be reduced to simple partisan politics, it should be about science and morality.
Guys like Gillett hate “liberals” so much and they imagine liberals are the only people who support the wolf having a place in our ecosystems and it just fuels their hatred even further. But I know of many, many people in my rural area who lean conservative, independent, or libertarian who also support the wolf.
