Hello All,
I have not commented because I tried to stay out of political commentary on a
birding mailing list, and the flaming I will not doubt I will receive. Even
though I agree that the Migratory Bird Treaty Act should stay in enforcement
but you must look as to why there is a controversy in the first place. Nobody
opposes this treaty if enforced fairly and correctly, The Obama administration
has use what it sees at "it's" justice department to selectively enforce laws,
so "green energy" companies can kill all the birds they want but oil companies
are being constantly harnessed and investigated.
The issue here is the justice department and not the amendment, if the justice
department enforced laws correctly this amendment would not have been presented
in the first place.

I noted that as well. I hate using reign in that context. It's definitely
"rein" as in horse.

Dear Ms. Phillips,
Thank you for taking the time to contact my office to share your concerns about
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Your opinion is important to me, and I
appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts.
The preservation of wildlife and the environment is very important to me. I
believe we as elected officials have the responsibility of enacting legislation
that protects our abundant natural resources for future generations to enjoy.
While it is necessary that we reign in spending and work to balance the budget,
we must make sure that this is not done to the detriment of our natural
resources. As we go through the appropriations process, I will certainly take
into consideration your concerns about our natural resources and programs that
encourage ecosystem restoration.
Thank you again for your letter. I hope you will continue to share your
thoughts with me.
Sincerely,
Bob Corker
United States Senator
