As an FYI, it does look like SPortsmen and women across NYS are mobilized to oppse this nomination! Please do what you can by sending in your own letter, or use this one below....

I write this to you over my grave concerns regarding the nomination of Alexander "Pete" Grannis to become Commissioner of the NYS DEC. Considering his well-known record of being against trapping, hunting and being anti 2nd Amendment rights, this nominee would do severe, if not devastating damage to the vital, and extremely lucrative industries hunting, trapping and fishing represents to NYS, industries which through tax revenues and conservation fund contributions, buttress NYS ability to protect the natural resources the Department is charged to protect. Through his own political agenda, this ability would be crippled. The people of NYS deserve much better.

This department should be run by qualified Biologists and Habitat Managers, not career politicians, as our natural resources deserve to be protected devoid of political agendas.
I urge you to please deny your support to this nomination, and speak with your colleagues to do the same. We need a true conservationist running this department, not someone with a political agenda.

Sincerely




Many hundreds are joining the fight, if not thousands. The NYS Senate is very supportive of our concerns and rights regarding hunting, fishing trapping and right to keep and bear arms. We must work to make sure they know we have a vital interest in this decision, otherwise, through inaction, we may get the proverbial shaft.

Thank you all for your help in this matter!!
