My Letter to Congressman Buchanan

As you may very well know, I am "Testing the Waters" US Senate Fl 2012 against the pack & Bill Nelson. I am just a Joe living day to day on a severe limited income and finally said, enough is enough, especially when Mr. Nelson was a NO SHOW at our rally earlier this year to which 1000 or more of his constituents were present. So too were many of yours? I Fish, I Vote as we are concerned of over regulatory burdens of NOAA/NMFS & its Czar councils. This year, 70,000 pages of new regulations have been added to the books from agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Labor Relations Board, oftentimes without any compelling justification for their existence. The last thing job creators in America need is more uncertainty from a powerful government agency like the CFPB that will receive a blank check for a half billion dollar budget with virtually no input from Congress. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ; sounds like a waste of money to me. Richard Cordray to be Director if lip service from above gets his way, as this is who Obama wishes to command such a post. I say, why not, if he can recite from memory all 700 pages and to what each means to us, the general public; the mob wants to know also! What is the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? President Obama promised that “transparency and accountability will be a hallmark of my administration”; I believe I heard that one the last time he ran for office, see where it got us? Too many questions in this article, I'm getting confused! Would love to know your responds to all of this as the RFA to the FRA are in unison when it comes to our Florida fisheries and too job discrimination of overseas products vs Fresh Florida Fish. I hope I get a answer back that is in first person and not a multiple responds as this note, along with any answer, if any will appear in my blog: http://thepoliticalsandbox.blogspot.com/ I thank You and best wishes, Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year...Gary A. Anderson

Well, AS EXPECTED, I got back a blah, blah, blah answer from the Congressman. I could have ask him his favorite brand of toilet paper as this is the answer to my above request, including the toilet paper, now:

GEE VERN, Thanks for the answer, it relieves me in knowing you give a damn!

Dr. Jane's Slips Up; “Catch Shares Voluntary!”

Crabby Jane; NOAA Chief Dr. Jane Lubchenco, HEAD OF FISHERIES!

NO FISHING PHOTO

NOAA Chief Dr. Jane Lubchenco said and she went out of her way to emphasize, that “catch shares are a voluntary choice, made by regional councils that include members from the industry.” According to a “Story from World Fishing Today,” where Dr. Jane stated that 1/5th of her $5.5 billion NOAA budget goes towards the fisheries. New additions, riders, were attached to the bipartisan bill, launched initially by Congressman Walter Jones, that would allow the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to continue spending on the controversial fishery subjects. These new earmarks were added by the the House and Senate Appropriations committees. The Catch Shares budget, 36 million dollars, was shut down, as of recent but it is a small fraction to the amount NOAA is planning on futures of this fishing game as NOAA is on dead reckoning towards commodities, the fish market, coupled with private foundations in buying, selling, leasing and trading "shares" of allocated catch limits (ACL) among themselves, corporations and outside investors. Smells to me of inside trading to me, but then what does this poor angler know? Thank God for Jim Donafrio, The RFA, the FRA, Dennis O'Hern,Gary Poyssick, The Online Fisherman, the comments to threads on The Online Fisherman, Florida Sportsman, 2 Cool Fishing, the Hull Truth, Congressman Walter Jones, countless others and U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, a New Hampshire Republican, who stated, what is echoed everywhere, on Council meeting and Catch Shares, “that it has never been VOLUNTARILY, nor ever suggested.” I do not believe the courts even know it is a voluntary program and the onslaught of commodities being bought, sold, leased and traded on an inside market, to a privileged few. They do now!
