Common Sense Conservation

On Sunday afternoon July 16, we will have a meeting in Buffalo, Mo. to try to revive an old group called “Common Sense Conservationists”.  It will be held at a great restaurant called Jem’s, where you can eat dinner from an unbelievable buffet until 2 p.m. and then attend our meeting in their air-conditioned meeting room, which will seat more than 100.

The purpose of the meeting is to re-establish a group of conservation-minded citizens to try to oppose much of what the Missouri Department of Conservation is doing in our state, which is corrupt and wasteful, and downright illegal.  Actual conservation issues, like our rivers, and the decline of wild turkeys is ignored, while they have enriched the Bass Pro Shop owners and many of our state’s judges. I will back up those charges on July 16.

If we can sign up 250 members this year, we can make a change. That membership will grow.  The old group, from 25 years ago, actually got much done, and worked with some MDC people to accomplish much. But today most of them have passed away.

If you are someone inclined to complain about the abuse from agents and the actual misuse of money we all give them, please attend.  If this goes well, there will be future meetings all over the state, well into the fall.  If we don’t do something now, the MDC will never change.  Its power keeps it unaccountable to anyone. Legislators fear them.  Lets create some power to oppose them. I have made about 100 fliers for anyone who wants to put them up in their area. At the meeting I will have photos you need to see, to back up what I am saying. We need leaders… be one!

Call me at 417-777-5227 or email me at lightninridge47@gmail.com to get those fliers. Please come to our meeting and bring others with you.
