		<description>Quyaana for the information. I really mean that. Please dont let my words below dimish my quyaana, okay?



If, our dipstick of a govenor, 
is so hell bent on not letting
&quot;the Feds&quot; take over WHATEVER, 
her mosquito size brain might dream up,
she sure is setting up the perfect storm,
for Federal takeover of the Canada treaty!

The clueless wonder states she won&#039;t get into fish politics. Total CRAP.
Denby, her Commissioner of Fish and Game, is Chair of &quot;the Feds&quot; side of fisheries management. Denby has got to be smilin, cause of Palin&#039;s mosquito size ability to reason. Denby can sit back and make STATE residents comply for compliance to the Canada treaty. And our dipstick things she has any balls to say a word? NO WAY. Palin only practices, her families version, of political fisheries abstinence.

Denby manuvers to make state residents comply with the treaty and Palin whines, complains &amp; spreads fear about &quot;the Feds&quot; taking over. She can&#039;t see beyond her own nose.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m with Super Bee:
&quot;Call me crazy but I don’t see why we need to impose any restrictions on indigenous people who are trying to feed their families. Restrict the commercial fisherman who are fishing for money not food.&quot;

There is way too much money in politics, and not nearly enough respect for indigenous cultures, common sense, or justice.</description>

		<description>Just found the Reference to Validate what I posted above.

Letter to the world from rural Alaska

Whether the correspondence reached state officials may be up for debate, but news reports mentioning the impending crisis can be found dating back at least six months. In July KTUU, an Anchorage TV station, ran a story on the poor fish runs and its impact on the Yukon Delta and on Emmonak residents. On July 12 departing Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan wrote a letter to state officials asking them to pay special attention to the looming crisis in rural Alaska.</description>

		<description>What I find interesting is that Walt Monegan told sarah that this was going to happen last/this year in SW Alaska, but she ignored his concerns for the well being of Alaska and of Alaskan citizens.

 We know that Sarah can not admit to making mistakes even at the expense at others well being.</description>

		<description>Quyana Myron for keeping attention on this issue.   So many questions and no answers.  Seems like we are just being placated with empty promises.  I suppose ADF&amp;G and other State agencies including the Governors Office think if they just keep making promises and never actually doing anything then eventually we will just give up.

Hmmm if that is the ASSumption they are making they are dead wrong.  There is no way we can afford to give up.  We desperately need our salmon fishing not only commercially but also subsistence to keep our families fed.   

They really need to look at the science of this.  Basing everything on guess work isn&#039;t going to solve anything.  Nor will letting the big pollock fisheries benefit at the cost of subsistence.

We need to realize that we have rights and if we don&#039;t speak up for those rights our people will go hungry this winter.  For too long we have just been dictated to/ruled over and this needs to stop!  

Quyana Cakneq Myron for using your voice and speaking up on this very important issue!

		<description>Is there any way to get some version of this post on the Huffington Post?  Maybe on the Green page?  More light needs to be given to the plight of these villages.</description>

		<description>22 Say NO to Palin in Politics Says: 

Palin likes to “brag” about the Alaska’s “Frontier Spirit” and Alaskans “Unique way of life”, yet she doesn’t protect it. 
------------------
The ghastly gov has no understanding of how government supports the people who live under it...
At whatever level we submit to be governed , those we choose to govern us must  have the vision to see us ALL... even with those silly glasses the ghastly gov can&#039;t see beyond her narrow view of Wasilla as the center of the universe. What happens on the Yukon is beyond her ken...
And her ears don&#039;t work very well either. Mr Naneng&#039;s voice here, Mr Tucker&#039;s voice months ago...
We just need to keep acting as megaphones for the bush... blow her off her feet if nothing else.</description>

She is using words only, with no action behind her words. If she can&#039;t walk her talk, she is lying every time she repeats these things.</description>

		<description>VERY well said sir! please publish this in as many papers as possible, send it to all the legislators, send it to the president, send it to everyone in the federal government that is involved. Get your word out, please!


Governor Sarah Palin says she &quot;always&quot; puts Alaska first. Well she had better prove it in this area hadn&#039;t she. You ask SO many good questions, and you deserve answers. I would submit them to her office, you have to put pressure on her! Don&#039;t let her &quot;spin empty answers&quot;.

&quot;If she is so concerned, why does she not propose language to make changes that would allow her to make a disaster declaration?&quot;

&quot; Why is there not a subsistence fishing representative on the NPFMC?  It is a position that should be considered, as we all get impacted by action taken by the council, not only the trawl fleet, yet we don’t have a subsistence representative to speak on our behalf. &quot;</description>
