On Friday night in St. Louis, Senator Kerry tried to tell sportsmen that President Bush was "going backwards on the definition of wetlands." Wrong. In fact, President Bush has recommitted this country to the Conservation Reserve Program, extending the life of the 35 million acres of farmland protected by this program and opening the program to additional 800,000.
This is just another attempt for John Kerry to hide from his horrible record for sportsmen and farmers. John Kerry has sided with groups like The Fund for Animals that want to take away your right to hunt and fish. Kerry wants to pass a law that would ban certain commonly used shotguns that millions of sportsmen use.
