Grimace Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Signed. It is total Bull what this guy has been soon since he got in. Navigable waters act, tailing ponds for mines in headwaters of chains of pristine lakes and rivers all across the country, and muzzling scientists just to name a few.

Christopheraaron Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Done, but I'm sure that the government would do the right thing anyways, I mean look at what they did with gobies, asian carp and zebra mussels, clearly they are all for the fisheries.

FrankTheRabbit Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Added my name as well, but used my spam email address to register. Still scary that you have to put in your full address to be able to sign that petition. I hope they don't collect the info and sell it to a 3rd party. I don't remember seeing any info regarding that.
