Thats one of the reasons you hire a lobbyist, so you don't get blindsided. Believe me if you had spent the money all this would have never happened. As for fighting the "good, clean fight" all I can say is get a grip on reality. This is the real world not some pollyanna class room exercise. You either do what it takes to win or go hide in the corner because the people your fighting will eat your heart while it still beating in your chest. I've been fighting these kind of people since the early 70's. I thought just because we were right and they were wrong we would win. I can't believe I was ever that naive but I was, all of us were. California Fish & Game kicked our ass up and down the block. You wouldn't believe some of the bad science they used, alot of it outright lies. We tried to counter with the truth and got kicked in the teeth over and over. Untill you understand that they will keep cutting off one finger at a time till you don't have a hand to fight with, you will keep losing. At this point you will probably never get back the rights thay have taken away but you can still stop them from taking more.
