I posted the above letter and got grilled because I didn’t have permission. I sent e-mail to the author asking for permission and more info and got this response.


Greetings. This is Ward Norden.
Feel free to send out my political commentaries to anyone you like.
I write a political newsletter about events in the natural resources arena in
Olympia during the legislative session and invite the readers to forward
copies of that to anyone they think would be interested. I am always amazed
at how far it travels. It has appeared in the Yakima and Spokane papers and
I have gotten responses from several other states
I do the newsletter on the web for free and for fun because I am a
political junkie besides being an addict of hunting and fishing.
Beware, however. I am a firebreathing, attack-dog; conservative who
takes no prisoners. My biggest goal is to get our spawning areas in our
rivers full of salmon and steelhead as a property rights issue in order to
destroy the political agenda of the leftist greens and Gary Locke who are
deliberately preventing salmon recovery. I have a low tolerance for green
pseudo-religious mantra.
Take care - Ward


Thanks Ward for the info and Holiday market for helping spread it.
