Alice Tripp's article in the May/June issue of the TSRA Sportsman left me a bit discouraged.

Sometimes I wonder if "making nice" is always the best method for achieving what we want in Austin.

I believe in respect, decorum and common courtesy....but I also believe in being plain spoken and forceful when its called for. I think some of our elected officials need to hear some "persuasive" language (respectfully) from the voting public.

The anti's and big business are pretty much running over us. That happens alot when you have to "plead" for what you want.

My sincere Thanks to all who worked tirelessly on these bills, my hat is off to you. Also, to those made the calls, emailed or faxed their concerns. Maybe next "go round" we will fare a little better. But, I suggest...next time, we come out with the "gloves off".
