this is one of the programs provided through the msu program. the vary one that granddholm is planning to cut.

it is imparitive that every one call, write or email their local state congress man, state senetor and the governer as well, let them know how you feal about the children paying the price. there is no reason the children should have to pay for her to balance her budget.

again, this is proof positive that the government has screwed up by un taxing large corperations.

the loss of project fish will cost michigan billions of dollars in lost jobs and sales taxes and inner state tourism, simply by taking away programs that introduce children to the things they would normaly have no contact with.

simply put. a child that has no intrest in going fishing will not buy fishing boats, will not buy rods reels, will not go on camping trips to enjoy the fishing available in the great out of doors, will not buy fishing license, will not buy state park stickers to go fishing, will not go in to the litteraly thousands of sportfishing shops in the state of michigan. this will cost the state of michigan more money in the long run than what it will save on this budget.

these children she is short suiting today are the vary children that will be taking care of her when she gets old, and by god I hope they take form her what she is taking form them now. and that is the quality of life they are entitaled to..... it is our responcibility to give it to them.
