WRO tell you what..
I'll make some statements about generally held right wing political beliefs. Not saying they are your beliefs just that they are the typical conservative republican views and thoes held bu the president.

If you think we should open up our forests to more logging, Then you think timber industry jobs are more important than salmon. Thats something you sure have a right to believe but it is bad for salmon in a number of ways and works against your stated desire to restore fish runs

If you think we should open up more mining the same rule applies.

If you think that we should allow people to develop any land they own in any way they desire then the same rule applies.

If you want government agencies andprivate enterprise to be able to sidestep laws and go ahead and freely degrade th water quality in the northwest, then the same rules apply.

I could go on and on here..

fact is our wild runs of fish throughout the northwest ate in a critically depressed state. Any increased harm increases the likelyhood of the continued extinction of our salmon runs.

We have been and are still being very poor stewards of our resources. We need to change that. Bush's current and desired policies make us worse off than we already are. if you favor his policies you favor policies that are bad for salmon..
You cannot favor policies that are bad for salmon and want them to be restored..

Thats like ordering food at a restruant that you don't like then complaining to the waitress...
