Good point. I wonder if he can get the rest of the pushers to see the light.

It was a good interview, and I was really supprised to hear what Weiers say he regreted being a sponsor. Not sure if he is back peddling a horrible bill, or if he truly means it.

This is what its all about! Thank you!

23 invites only? I would consider all the people in Arizona a stakeholder. So were was my invite?

Thank you for posting this up Chef!

Posted on the web for all concerned to see. Awesome job fellow Joes!!

I am not afraid of these clowns as I think the majority will speak against them. I am not dealing secretly with this like our counterparts. I am not dividing the hunting community, they did themselves by bringing this ridiculous bill to be proposed. It is at our doorstep, and I will fight.

Really! You think any good can from you going on TV, into the livingrooms of the public and talk about Auction Hunters vs Regular Hunters?? It is one thing to discuss the division us hunters have amongst ourselves on a forum like this one, but to publically bash any form of legal hunting on National television is completely insane!!!! Think about it!!!! I am thinking about it as a matter of fact. I am not paid to sit my arse in the hallways of the senate to pitch something others have hired me to do. I am not paid to talk to every senator and representative down at the capitol. I am not paid to send out emails, make phone calls and talk to everyone I know. I am passionate about what I do and need no compensation to do so. I am not bashing a legal form of hunting by opposing this type of bill publicly. I am FIGHTING to keep my right as a tax payer to hunt and have an EVEN chance with all of the other Arizona state tax payers and the resource ALL Arizonan's have. If that means going on national television with whom ever, then that is what I will do. My friend, it is a real grassroots movement.

Keep us informed as to when it will air. I will post it around as well.

She's pushing so hard because she stands to get a big raise from SFW it passes. heck, she is paid a nice sum to get this to pass!

I am in! Hopefully others will take a stand for this and join the cause.

In regards to ADA, they are only hanging themselves by waiting. This CLEARLY shows to me what they think. Just about every other organization has come to conclusion, for or against this type of bill. ADA is hanging themselves, and wont get my membership.

The one thing I saw was the 50k for lobbying!! And for the purpose to influence public opinion at that.

I am game on showing up to stage a peaceful protest.

Thanks for the input javihammer! I have been adding info onto a facebook page to get the word out. My district is 23, and I have been in contact with the reps for my district.

Bill, that is all I wanted to use. Thank you for your support. All I want to see is the use of our public resources correctly and for all, not just a select few.

Bill, can I use what you have written here for other posts and places on the web? You have a good way putting things and make good points.

Perhaps under that bill number, make no mistake they have not given up on it yet.

Check this page out if you are on Facebook. Time to go public with this. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Arizona-Sportsmen-Against-Hb-2072/274702462612489?skip_nax_wizard=true

I agree with the name being an issue. I just set it up with the original bill number since most know what that is. I have been in contact with a few representatives, and they say it is dead. But they are aware that there is an attempt to keep it going.

What keeps PETA from organizing an attempt like this? This just opens the door for a whole lot of trouble.

Hopefully she can see how this really affects us. I wonder how many representatives actually do their homework on things.

But does Utah have a game and fish expo, and the ISE ? How is another expo going to help us? I can see Utah doing well with the expo if it was the only one, but this is just a front for criminal theft. Gilstrap, get your filthy hands off my future tags!

I got an email back from Representative Kate Brophy McGee for district 11, and this was her response. "I do not support this bill, and if it comes back I will not vote for it" She is the Vice Chairman of House of Representatives Standing Committee, for Energy and Natural Resources.

I have been making calls and sending letters to media outlets. How many sportsmen really know what this is all about or even that its going on? I feel like a first grader and the principle stole my twinkies!
