Shoots, while I don't disaree, you aren't going to see politicians of either form in the national forests sharing the lifestyle we enjoy. It is not what they value, they are just voting based off of the desires of those lining their pockets. There are certainly virtuous politicians out there, but they are mostly at the state level and the few at the national level are marginalized by the special interests from both sides. I am certain that 95% of democrat and replublican politicians could not care less about our ability to hunt on public ground.
Martin Heinrich, Democratic Senator from New Mexico is an avowed public land hunter. He's arguably the best voice for sportsmen in all of Congress.
But that's one of 535. We need more Martin Heinrichs and a lot less Ted Cruz's.
