Sen. Kevin Ranker

[huntnphool]

Read below.  We should all email him and educate him on this issue.  Don't let the Liberal A$$ raise hell, we need to write him on this issue.     

The chairman of the state Senate committee that oversees Washington's Department of Fish & Wildlife tells NBC News that the killing of a gray wolf pack in recent days was "inexcusable" and that he is demanding answers about why the agency thought it was necessary. 

"I find it inexcusable that we allowed ourselves to get to a place where killing the entire pack was the necessary decision when other non-lethal options – within the department and with ranchers – were not totally exhausted first," said Sen. Kevin Ranker, chair of the Senate Natural Resources and Marine Waters Committee.

"I find it ironic that the attacks on livestock that caused this situation ... took place on a ranch that has been outspoken about the removal of the pack and has refused to work with the department to implement prevention measures successfully adopted by other ranchers," he added.

Dear Mr. Ranker, I read your statement criticizing the WDFW's decision to eradicate the Wedge wolf pack and want you to know that you will not be getting my vote.

Good day Sir!

Perfect.    10,000 similiar emails MIGHT get his attention.

Democrat from Orcas Island. Sadly, I don't think he gives a rip about hunters. He has enough votes to get reelected without them.

Telling him what we think is the right thing to do. It's just that it's probably about as effective as a Washingtonian casting a vote for Romney in the fall.

At least some idiot has to read 10,000 emails.

I knew there had to be a good reason.

  With all the bunny-hugging liberals over there, he's sure to be re-elected.  And that lying sack of $h1t Jay Inslee will probably be our next Governor, too!

This Ranker character clearly has not been staying up on wolf issues.  The ranchers have been for years trying all those absolute idiotic drummed up deterents and none of them work.  He obviously didn't read that the McIrvins have had range riders out in full force this summer with no benefit.  He also must not care one bit about the 40 plus cattle the rancher has lost and all the extra expenses he's been forced to absorb out of his own empty pocket.  I'd suggest that if Mr. Ranker is so adamant about exhausting all efforts that he sends the McIrvins a personal check to pay for these expenses.  If he is really serious then he will, if he's just another smoker blower then he won't.  It's real easy to criticize the neighbor for using too much water to put his house fire out but when your own house catches fire your tune changes. 
  How did these people ever get elected?   Evidently he never heard or maybe doesn't understand the old statement "WALK A MILE IN MY SHOES"

He's a liberal, elected by the overwhelming number of liberals over there.  And, THEY DON'T CARE!

Now the anti's are going to try and get the Mc
Urns to lose there grazing lease. It's on face book.

Since Senator Ranker lives on Orcas Island and will probably never have to face the impacts from wolves in his neighborhood, he is looking for I-5 corridor votes from the conservationists, obviously.  I will be sending a letter to him and CC'ing it to all the people that Bearpaw listed in his request to write letters to state, county and gov't officials regarding removal of the Wedge pack.  The dude is obviously out of touch with the rural values of us in the boonies of NE WA since wolve don't swim far enough to effect his back yard.

Ranker was on King 5 tonight.  What a friggin squirrel.  That guy has no idea whatsoever what he is talking about, pure politics and nothing else, he's obviously somebody else's little mouthpiece.  I'd like to know who is pulling his strings because he clearly has no interest or clue about what is best for the resource and citizens of our state.  He clearly has an agenda and it's not honorable.

All great comments and yes, we are talking about an elected idiot here!!!!!  But heck, maybe we should give his voice a little chance,.....

Let's live trap them, ..(they don't like the killing/culling part, and then release an entire pack on Orcas Island@!@!!!  Let's see how fast they do an about face..!!!!!
