Tabor Talks to Constituents

Dear Stop Shooting Doves: Please see my e-mail to the representatives of the Natural Resources Committee and please see the response of Rep. Susan Tabor (D-71) back to me, you will be outraged and amazed. This is our tax dollars at work.

Constituent to Rep Tabor: "Michigan has far more important and pressing issues than what animal to add to a hunting list. We have a lack of jobs, lack of good paying jobs, our land is getting all used up by houses, and now we allow the demise of our natural resources. There are already plenty of game animals. Now they allow the killing of innocent doves; want to add sand hill cranes and possibly wolves to the list of game animals, what is next. I am really sickened by it...Please consider the creatures God put here on this earth, just as He put us here on this earth and give them more respect and put an end to this never ending "game list" the committee is talking about in House Bill 6272."

Response from Susan Tabor: "yes I know. Have you ever watched a dove fall from the sky after you've shot it? Have you ever tasted them after wrapping them with bacon and lightly grilling them? let me guess. you don't eat meat right?"

Dear Stop Shooting Doves: Here is a reply I received from MS Tabor. If it weren't so funny, it would be sad that we such an individual in a position of power.

Constituent to Rep Tabor: "I thank you for responding to my email. I am 72 and have not missed any election since I was old enough to vote...I will continue my petition drive because I firmly believe that dove hunting is not a challenging sport as you proported. They are lazy, dumb, slow flying bird that are a favorite prey of hawks. I do not appreciate your rather cryptic comment. It is insulting."

Response from Susan Tabor:
"I'm insulted that you think you know more about dove hunting than I do. Have you watched it? Tried it? I can assure you they are not lazy, dumb or slow flying and most of all - THEY ARE DELICIOUS! YUM YUM! There. We are both insulted now. Have a great day!"

Dear Stop Shooting Doves: I have been working on the Mourning Dove Shooting Ban and of coarse Susan Tabor is a point of interest. I decided to research her a little bit and I realized that in two years of being on four committees she only sponsored 6 house bilIs. I decided to see if she had missed a lot of time for some reason. So I emailed the main Michigan Legislature information data base. I was surprised when the first email response said my message had been sent to the Rep. Tabor's office. And I was REALLY surprised when I got this email from her the next day.

Constituent to Rep Tabor: "I need to know Susan Tabor's attendance record. She belongs to four committees. Our of these four committees, how many meetings were held (sessions) and how many of these meetings was she in attendance?"

Response from Susan Tabor: "of coarse you are welcome to this information. But you can't really do much damage now can you? I'm a lame duck! quack quack!" watch out! I may run for higher office someday! You can use my attendance record against me then! I'll say one thing! I never missed a vote that involved hunting issues!
