Sarah Palin could capitalize on this potential Obama executive order tremendously since she is a bonified Salmon Commercial Fishing business owner who has seen the ups and down of the industry. She also understands that Alaska has the most excellent prestine fishing waters for recreational anglers which the fishing guides and local towns thrive off of. Alaska's tourism officials target fishermen from all over the world who pay big fees for air travel and out of state fishing license purchases to come there in search of the big catch and experience the wilderness. If Obama signs a executive order carrying...

So Pres. Barack Obama’s “Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force” has decided that the opinions of America’s 60 million anglers aren’t worthy of its consideration. This task force, headed by the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), was charged with drafting a national ocean policy of marine spatial planning to manage U.S. ocean territory and the Great Lakes. Its recommendations — due out later this month — could be enacted by executive order. Here’s why anglers, and freedom-loving Americans, should be alarmed: Without input from recreational anglers and the conservation groups that represent them — such as Trout Unlimited,...

The statists now consider whether Americans shall be allowed recreational fishing! Out of my cold dead fingers will they take my rod and reel! They prepare to forge yet another link in the ever-lengthening chain that arrests our freedoms. They make claim on our water, our food, our ability to farm, ranch, fish… our travel, our health, and the very air we breathe!

But how deep goes our resolve in...

The Obama administration has proposed using United Nations-guided principles to expand a type of zoning to coastal and even some inland waters. That’s raising concerns among fishermen that their favorite fishing holes may soon be off-limits for bait-casting. In the battle of incremental change that epitomizes the American conservation movement, many weekend anglers fear that the Obama administration’s promise to “fundamentally change” water management in the US will erode what they call the public’s “right to fish,” in turn creating economic losses for the $82 billion recreational fishing industry and a further deterioration of the American outdoorsman’s legacy...

Apparently, the story at Red State ("Obama: The Will Of The People Be Damned - I’LL Decide Who Can Go Fishing") has touched a nerve on liberal websites. They are now claiming that it's all a hoax and there's absolutely no truth to it. Here's an example:President Obama, though remains in news but this time, there is a different reason for his being in news. Anti-Obama extremists are going mad and wild against him and every time, they try to hit him through different angles and issues. Although, that’s not a critical matter yet some people are going just crazy...
