Need your help please on duck ban vote!

http://theage.com.au/polls/form.html

Please take a vote for us and vote "No" to a duck hunting ban down under.

This is a city based Liberal mainstream newspaper.
We are pegging them back, but need some more help. A postitive result for us would be great!

Thanks for your help.

Dave.

Dave,

It is great to see you back on here posting, I just wish it were on some better news. I voted and the poll right now is 50-50.

Why are they asking for the ban? Is it because there is a low number of ducks? I would find that somewhat hard to believe, but I wouldn't completely disbelieve it. When is your season supposed to start?

I voted "Yes" only cuz I get so pi**ed when you post pictures of your duck hunt when I can't cuz the season's over!

How's that for selfishness?

Actually, I voted "NO" just for you.

G'day Fabrisio & Tree Doc,


This is a very popular Melbourne newspaper. Unfortunately, it is also left leaning. So, would pander to the anti's.
Just a question being posed and unfortunately, most of those who vote "Yes" are ignorant or else antis.
Would be great if we can get a majority win on this. Would show them that there are many who still care.

Thanks and I'll be posting some pics hopefully in the waterfowling section.

Cheers,
Dave.
