| I sent a letter to my assemblyman and Senator and this is the letter I received back from Joel Anderson, State Senator...
"Dear Cynthia:
Thank you for writing to me in support of Dan Richards in his position as the President of the California Fish and Game Commission. I appreciate the opportunity to hear your thoughts on this matter. I absolutely agree with you, that is why I authored a letter in his support. Attached you will find a copy of the letter.
California is better served when people like you take the time to make sure we have adequate information on these issues. An informed and engaged citizenry is important to effective government in our Golden State.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to make sure I understand your opinion. It is very important that I understand your views.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 619-596-3136 if there is ever anything I can do for you. Thank you.
Sincerely,
-Joel
Joel Anderson
Senator"
and the letter he sent out...
The Honorable Jerry Brown, Governor of California.
State Capitol, First Floor.
Sacramento, CA 95814.
The Honorable Gavin Newsom, Lt. Governor of California.
State Capitol, First Floor.
Sacramento, CA 95814.
The Honorable Darrel Steinberg, Senate President pro-Tempore.
State Capitol, Room 205.

The Honorable John Perez, Assembly Speaker.
State Capitol, Room 219.
Sacramento, CA 95814.
Dear Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned, write in support of Dan Richards in his position as the President of the California Fish & Game Commission.
Mr. Richards has served Californians for over three years on the Commission. He takes very seriously the Commission’s mission “to ensure the long term sustainability of California’s fish and wildlife resources,” and has a strong track record of balancing the concerns of all parties interested in conservation of those resources.
Mr. Richards position has been threatened by some members of the legislature because he recently followed and obeyed the hunting laws of California and Idaho. The actions taken by Mr. Richards, for which he is currently under fire, were perfectly legal.
Removing Mr. Richards from his position as a result of these actions is not just wrong, it’s completely illogical. If we were to consistently apply this logic, the next time the CHP Commissioner is traveling in Nevada and drives 75 miles per hour (the legal speed limit on many freeways in that state), he should be fired because California’s maximum speed limit of 70 miles per hour.
I encourage you, as leaders of the majority party, to make sure that cooler heads prevail over political correctness.
Sincerely,
Joel Anderson
