This is what I like about your President! He'll do anything for a buck. So
set a price tag on these fish. Let's say each endangered species is worth
100 million each. Should you go to court get an environmental organization
to represent you. Don't do things on an individual basis and hit him where
it hurts in his pocket. Maybe you can attack George Bush the man. Make him
purposely and individually responsible for any extinctions.
