Support For Hunting Increasing
- Stockton Record
September 23 marks the 35th annual National Hunting and Fishing Day, established by Congress in 1971 to acknowledge the conservation and economic importance of sportsmen and women. The observance has not gone unnoticed by the general public. In a recent poll a strong majority of Americans 18 years and older support hunting and fishing. In fact, the 2006 survey shows support for hunting actually increased from 10 years ago from a 73- to 78% approval rating.

Louis Barletta, mayor of Hazleton, Pa., has thrown down the gauntlet to those who think America belongs to anyone who can walk across the border. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and a Puerto Rican group have taken up the challenge. And the mayor has upped the ante by hiring as defense counsel the former head of immigration in the Justice Department.

Dooming Woods And Wildlife
- Washington Times
"Environmental groups are unwittingly destroying forests and killing wildlife with lawsuits." writes Thomas Bonnicksen. "Ironically, they do so while claiming to save them. Activists again file lawsuits to stop forest management, and the government pays them to do so. They craft settlements that pay them handsomely with taxpayer money so they can live well and file the next lawsuit. No wonder they are inflexible."
