CONGRATS ON A BEAUTIFUL DEER ! IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN LEAVE YOUR UNDERSHIRT OR ANOTHER ARTICLE OF CLOTHING THERE AND THE YOTES SHOULD AVOID THE AREA..

Look up RUSSEL boots handmade to your exact foot right and left costly and about 2-3 month wait but they are the creame of the crop Ijust ordered a pair of mohican mocs lace up absoutly the best boot made !!

If bloomburg and other officals had to wait in line for gas to travel you can bet that there would be gas at every station . That said bloomburg doesnt stand to lose a thing in personal items or lose inventory because of looters. Most politicans are OUT OF TOUCH with the common people.They arent in the [ TRENCHES ] like us ! If long island and brooklyn were invaded by an enemny of this country would it take 2 or 3 days to RESPOND !!! ITS A DAMN SHAME the way the elite treat us peons [the common people ]... I apoligize for my rant ...Tony

if your in shape look at the area you plan to hunt on google earth, then look for dips in the mountaintop .if it looks like its easier to cross the mountain at the dip or [sADDLE ] then set up in that area .State land hunters usually drive deer to flee up and over mountaintops the first couple of days of gun season.Away from the lazy or not in shape hunters. Leave maybe 330 to 400 AM take your time if its steep and your heart beats hard slow down . you can try to leave a trail with light reflecting tacks to make it easier traveling in the dark.BRING WATER youll need to hydrate while climbing up and a good flashlight to show the way . Opening morning is a great time to be above other hunters and most important !! Only load your gun after you have arrived at your spot ! Deer can come from any direction so be ready and stay focused. TRY TO KEEP MOVEMENT SLOW LOOK AROUND SLOWLY AND most of all be sure of your target and enjoy yourself. Hope this helps ....TONY

The sportfishing industry applauds the introduction of a large package of pro-sportsmen legislation in the Senate as an amendment to the Farm Bill. Introduced by co-chairs of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, Senators Jon Tester (D-Mont.) and John Thune (R-S.D.), the Sportsmen's Act of 2012 addresses several key issues that are impacting the sportfishing industry and anglers. The package features two bills that recently passed the House of Representatives as a part of the Sportsmen's Heritage Act, including legislation that prevents a federal ban of lead fishing tackle and ammunition. The Sportsmen's Act of 2012 features several other provisions that will advance the conservation of fish habitat and populations and increase recreational fishing opportunity. "The Sportsmen's Act of 2012 is the largest, most diverse pro-sportsmen legislative package introduced in recent memory," said American Sportfishing Association Vice President Gordon Robertson. "The sportfishing industry thanks Senators Tester and Thune for addressing some of the biggest issues that are affecting sportsmen and women. From improving habitat conservation to increasing public access, passage of the Sportsmen's Act of 2012 would represent one of the biggest advancements for recreational fishing in years." The Sportsmen's Act of 2012 features 19 bills that promote our nation's recreational fishing, hunting and shooting heritage, eight of which will have significant specific impacts on the sportfishing community. Of particular note are: The Hunting, Fishing and Recreational Shooting Protection Act (S. 83 – This section will block ongoing attempts to ban lead in recreational fishing equipment and ammunition by clarifying the Toxic Substances Control Act. Recent attempts to overregulate sportfishing equipment in a non-scientific fashion by anti-fishing interests represent one of the largest threats to the sport. National Fish Habitat Conservation Act (S. 1201) – This section will authorize the National Fish Habitat Partnership, an initiative that seeks to protect, restore and enhance fish habitat on a range-wide scale. This non-regulatory partnership is the most comprehensive effort ever attempted to voluntarily conserve freshwater, estuarine and marine habitats nationwide. Billfish Conservation Act (S. 1451) – This section will conserve declining billfish populations by prohibiting the commercial sale and importation of billfish throughout the U.S., with an exception in the state of Hawaii and the Pacific Insular Area islands to preserve traditional fisheries. It is currently illegal to harvest or import Atlantic-caught billfish into the U.S., but billfish from other oceans come into U.S. markets in substantial numbers. Report on Artificial Reefs in the Gulf of Mexico – This section would require the Department of the Interior to develop a report on its Idle Iron policy, which requires the removal of idle drilling platforms, in order to develop a coordination strategy between agencies and states. These platforms represent the world's largest network of artificial reefs and provide habitat for marine species on an otherwise barren seafloor. Making Public Lands Public Act (S. 901) – This section will address one of the most significant obstacles to sportfishing – lack of access to public lands and waters. This language will increase access to angling, hunting and recreational shooting opportunities on federal lands, by directing 1.5 percent of the Land and Water Conservation Fund to ensure that fishing, hunting and other recreational activities are accessible. "There is no doubt that the thousands of anglers who have supported these individual provisions through KeepAmericaFishing™ played an important role in the introduction of this amendment," said Robertson. "This clearly demonstrates the impact that anglers can have when speaking collectively with one voice. With passage of this bill, anglers will see the rewards of their efforts on the water." The Senate voted on June 7 to advance the 2012 Farm Bill discussions, which will cover the potential inclusion of the Sportsmen's Act of 2012. "While Sportsmen's Act of 2012 addresses many of the key issues impacting recreational fishing today, there are still other legislative measures important to the sportfishing community that we hope to see move this year. With Congress's support, we can overcome the obstacles facing sportsmen and women and improve conservation efforts nationwide," Robertson concluded. ### The American Sportfishing Association (ASA) is the sportfishing industry's trade association, committed to looking out for the interests of the entire sportfishing community. We give the industry a unified voice speaking out when emerging laws and policies could significantly affect sportfishing business or sportfishing itself. We invest in long-term ventures to ensure the industry will remain strong and prosperous as well as safeguard and promote the enduring economic and conservation values of sportfishing in America. ASA also gives America's 60 million anglers a voice in policy decisions that affect their ability to sustainably fish on our nation's waterways through KeepAmericaFishing™, our angler advocacy campaign. America's anglers generate over $45 billion in retail sales with a $125 billion impact on the nation's economy creating employment for over one million people.

Some thoughts on the subject by a former ins co. exec... Wendell Potter (Photo credit: Robin Holland) Today, the Supreme Court will begin hearing oral arguments regarding the constitutionality of the the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. “Obamacare.” At issue: the requirement that all Americans buy health insurance if they’re not eligible for a public plan like Medicare or Medicaid. At stake: the promise of near-universal coverage, and, perhaps, the election. We checked in with Wendell Potter — once head of communications for health insurance giant Cigna, now an outspoken critic of the industry — to get his thoughts on the case. Lauren Feeney: What’s at stake when the Supreme Court looks at the constitutionality of the new health care law? Wendell Potter: If the Supreme Court declares the entire act unconstitutional, or even just the provision that requires us all to buy insurance by 2014, we’ll be pretty much back to square one — with 50 million Americans uninsured. Feeney: The entire act? I thought the case was specifically about the mandate requiring everyone to have insurance. Potter: In their haste to get the law passed at the 11th hour, the Senate did not include a severability clause. So, theoretically, the Supreme Court could say if part of the bill is declared unconstitutional, all of it is declared unconstitutional. In fact, that’s what the insurance industry is saying in the amicus brief they filed with the Court: that if the individual mandate is deemed to be a violation of the commerce clause, then the entire act should be struck down. Their rationale is that if you don’t require everyone to buy coverage, but you still outlaw some of the most egregious practices that the health insurance industry has been guilty of for many years, then their business model won’t be sustainable even in the short term. Feeney: Didn’t the health insurance industry support the act? Potter: The industry was supportive of the act because of the individual mandate. They don’t want to be told that they have to accept all people who apply for insurance, that they can no longer drop people from coverage when they become sick, or that they have to spend at least 80 percent of their premium dollars on care without at the same time having the requirement that all of us buy coverage. If you don’t have that provision, they’ll have to provide coverage to the sickest people but they healthiest may opt out, so their profits will begin to drop. Their hope is that the law will be upheld, and that they can influence the elections — because their real objective is to keep the individual mandate intact but get their friends in Congress to weaken or strip out the consumer protections. Feeney: What is the industry doing to influence Congress, the elections, even the courts? Potter: They spent an enormous amount of money to influence the debate on health care reform, and goal number one for them was to make sure there was an individual mandate in the bill. The second goal was to make sure there was not a public option. They got both. They were not able to keep many of the consumer protections from winding up in the bill, but they got their two main objectives. Of course now with Citizens United they’ll be able to spend a lot of money trying to influence elections, and they will do that by helping to finance a lot of issues campaigns through super PACs. Last year, the health care industry, through its trade association, America’s Health Insurance Plans, funnelled almost $86 million to the Chamber of Commerce to finance the Chamber’s advertising campaign to influence the health care reform debate. They have a lot of money, and they will deploy that money in different ways, some in ways that really can’t be traced. And what they’re doing now is, they filed this brief with the Supreme Court and I think made it clear to the justices, particularly the conservative justices, that the individual mandate is necessary, and that originally it was a conservative idea. It came straight from the Heritage Foundation. Feeney: What’s your prediction for the court’s decision? Potter: I think the court will uphold the constitutionality of the law. Of course my opinion is worth no more than anybody else’s. There’s a lot of speculation. I think the court will hold up the entire act; it will shift then to legislative battles. I do not think that if the Congress is controlled by Republicans — even if they win the White House — we’ll see Obamacare repealed. The insurance industry needs it and they’ll make it very clear to lawmakers once they’re elected: Keep your hands off my individual mandate. Feeney: The RNC launched an anti-health care act campaign last week, pegged to the two-year anniversary of the law and the upcoming Supreme Court case. Can I read you a few of the talking points of the campaign and get your thoughts on them? This is from an open memo from the RNC’s Political Director, Rick Wiley. It says “49 percent of voters say the health care law has, as of today ‘significantly increased the price of health insurance….’” with “only 2 percent (yes, two) of voters saying their health care costs are going down.” Is it true that the new law has raised costs? Potter: No, and it’s very clever and disingenuous how they’re doing that. They’re citing public opinion, and I’ll give the opponents due credit — they’ve done a tremendous job of misleading Americans about this to get those kind of poll results. No, The Affordable Care Act has not significantly increased premiums. You have to look at where premiums were going before the Affordable Care Act — they were going through the roof. The Affordable Care Act will ultimately slow the premium increases. What we are seeing now is that some insurers are trying to make as much money as they can now before the law fully kicks in in 2014. So there’s a lot of profiteering going on because of this long phase-in of the law, but studies show that only 1-2 percent of rate increases that have been implemented since the law passed can be attributed to the Affordable Care Act. Feeney: The memo continues: “44 percent believe the new law has ‘caused many employers to drop health insurance coverage for their employees.’” Any truth to that? Potter: No. The provisions of the law that pertain to employers haven’t really kicked in. I don’t think there have been many employers who have dropped coverage as a consequence of the law. I think there probably have been some employers who have dropped coverage because of the continuing cost increases from the insurance industry. Feeney: These stats are about public opinion — why is it so low, and why are there so many misconceptions? Potter: They come from a very well planned and executed campaign of misinformation. What is really going on is opponents of President Obama and Democrats in Congress have seen this as a great opportunity for them to try to turn people away from Democratic lawmakers. They’ve been demagoguing this issue, misleading people. And there has been no comparable campaign to explain the law and tell the truth about it. Feeney: Last weekend my 2-year-old son fell at the playground and broke his leg. When we got to the emergency room, they asked for our insurance information before even looking at the screaming child’s leg or offering him any painkillers. It felt so absurd. I mean, when you go to a restaurant, you get to eat before you pay. Why is that the very first thing they ask when you walk in the door? Potter: It’s because of the dysfunctional nature of our health care system. It wouldn’t happen if you were a Canadian citizen or if you lived in almost any other developed country in the world. But we’ve got a system in this country — and calling it a system is a stretch — that is controlled largely by big for-profit insurance companies, and the hospitals are very dependent on revenues, both from federal and state governments but also from insurance companies. Such a high percentage of the population is uninsured that hospitals have very high levels of uncompensated care, so they want to make sure they’re going to get some money. Though hospitals say they have collectively billions of dollars of uncompensated care — that’s not exactly accurate. Somebody has to pay for it, and as a result we have enormous cost-shifting — people who do have insurance are paying higher premiums to cover the costs of people who don’t have insurance and otherwise can’t pay for the care. It’s just a ridiculous, absolutely absurd situation. We’ve got to change that. Related Features How Will the Supreme Court Rule on the Health Care Law?

In early 1960s those with incomes over 100,000.00 paid 90 % in taxes, today its around 35 %. Since 1960 to present those with incomes under 100,000.00 saw a rise of income of around 28 % and those in the top of the 1 % saw an increase of 256 % quite a difference ! My facts are taken from[ WINNER TAKE ALL POLITICS ] by HASKER and PIERSON . Kinda disporptionate dont you think ...

It seems to me this was a reaction to OWS which protests against Crony Capitalism and the have it alls against the have nothings.There really is 1 percent that control everything I am not the brightest bulb in the bunch and my interest is learning the truth about politics . What i have learned is that lobbyists control the vote not us the people and after watching Bill Moyers on T.V. I now now am better equipped to understand politics in general much better.His guests explain this situation much better than I can and have opened my eyes.We The People is a farce and our votes and wants get pushed aside by politicans for their own greedy agendas.This will never change untill ALL those in office are Voted out and we start fresh with goverment watchdogs protecting OUR interests.
