Just got off the phone with D.U. in Washington. Asked them if they were endorsing John Kerry. The guy laughed and I told him about the local D.U. board member hunting with Kerry this morning.

He is forwarding me an email from the director of D.U. he received while we were on the phone.

"They told the stories at times they had personally shot, wrung necks, cut off heads, placed ducks in ovens and turned up the heat, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at hippies, razed ponds in fashion reminiscent of Elmer Fudd, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned rodents, and generally ravaged the countryside of Ohio in addition to the normal ravage of hunting, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied hunting power of this country."

DU Maintains Political Neutrality in Presidential Race

We are aware that U.S. Senator John Kerry hunted Canada geese in Ohio earlier today (October 21, 2004). Press reports show that the Senator was wearing a Ducks Unlimited hat and that he was hunting with a local Ducks Unlimited member and supporter.

Ducks Unlimited is a non-partisan organization. DU has no affiliation with any political party, nor do we endorse any political candidate. However, it should be recognized that in support of our wildlife habitat conservation work, the Ducks Unlimited logo is branded on many products, including hats, jackets, and other clothing.

One gentleman on the trip was misidentified as a local Ducks Unlimited "board" member. He is not a member of Ducks Unlimited's board of directors. No one was there to represent Ducks Unlimited in any way during the hunting trip. Ducks Unlimited has 1 million members and supporters who also have a variety of political affiliations.
