Rio Rancho Hunters Beware of the National Wildlife Federation!
No copyright restrictions-may be copied and forwarded to others:

National Wildlife Federation (NWF) and its state affiliate is deceiving all New Mexico's Sportsman. On the surface, this organization has all the appearance of being a noble advocate for preserving wildlife for current and future hunters, including certain gun rights.

But when you really dig deep, you will discover their knowing and willful deceptive practices of intentionally undermining the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights. They are in my opinion a left-wing socialist organization.

Lets start with some known facts concerning their eco-socialist anti-capitalistic philosophy. The NWF has opposed the XL-pipeline, including most all expansion projects in the oil and gas industry that would create thousands of jobs.

I have personal knowledge that some local undisclosed National Wildlife Federation members took an active role in killing the Sand Ridge Energy's proposed oil and gas venture locally.

They worked closely with the Obama Administration to kill the ranching industry, coal industry, timber industry, the copper industry, sand and gravel operations, gold and silver mines, new power lines and power plants, the potash Industry, the WIPP site, all disposal facilities, and just about any extraction industry that has high-paying jobs.

In addition, NWF overtly supports Obama's UN Agenda 21 issues, which details a One World Government with a new socialist constitution, new eco-sustainability laws, wild-lands corridors where no human will be allowed to set foot, and the continued introduction of Wolves and Grizzly bears to a point where there will only be enough deer and elk to provide a sustainable population for those predators to feed on.

Guess who gets cut out of the picture, you guessed it, the American Hunter.

NWF is aligned with the most radical and left wing environmental groups in the country, including the Center for Biological Diversity, the Wilderness Alliance, Earth First, Sierra Club, Amigos Bravos, Forest Guardians, Wild Earth Guardians and have driven and supported the Endangered Species Act to the point that both private and public lands are being confiscated and placed totally off-limits.

NWF has consistently pushed the Forest Service and the BLM in closing thousands of miles of roads on public lands, and pushed for comprehensive restrictive travel and camping plans, on once accessible public lands.

Great family ties and lifetime memories have been created on these public lands, but now people are denied access, no campfires, no nothing, and in some cases, you may end up in jail with thousands of dollars worth of fines, and civil forfeitures of your family truck, all thanks to the National Wildlife Federation and their radical eco-partners.

I invite you to go to NWF's national web site and check out their support and awards given to Godless Eco-schools. This is the most frightening aspect of this organization. It's far worse than Common Core as it actually teaches basic Marxist GǣCommunistGǥ principles. Young children are being brainwashed to believe that man is destroying our planet via capitalism, and the government is the answer to all aspects of human involvement.

NWF recently supported legislation in New Mexico to remove a private landowners' right to post his land when a non-navigable creek runs through his property. Thank God our New Mexico Legislators, the New Mexico Game and Fish, and our Governor killed that proposal. NWF clearly has no respect for any private landowner, pubic lessee, water-right users or our state Game & Fish Department.

Make no mistake, if you support this organization you are supporting a new Socialist Anti-Constitution way of life and you are teaching your kids the same.

Foremost, how are you going to make a living when the NWF kills every opportunity for good jobs? How will you fund your hunts? Think about it, no good job, no good rifle, no good bow, no good pick-up and camper, etc. and you face GǣNo HuntingGǥ not by private sign, but by federal design.

Now is the time to draw a line in the sand, and I beg all Rio Rancho Folks including guides, hunters and sportsman to do the right thing and disown this grassroots GǣWatermelonGǥ organization, (Green on the outside, Red in the middle).

Good wildlife conservation is about recognizing certain historical practices, past and present cultures, and the right for an individual to support his family, while protecting and maintaining our wildlife heritage, public lands, all in a fair and balanced approach, as laid out by our forefathers.
