Why is it that the Green party doesn't reach out more to hunters and fishers?

In Washington state, local fishers were some of the biggest supporters of Dam removal to restore salmon populations. According to the US Fish and Wildlife Service, "The sale of hunting licenses, tags, and stamps is the primary source of funding for most state wildlife conservation efforts." One of the largest private wetland conservation funds, Ducks Unlimited, is financed primarily by duck hunters.

It seems like hunters and fishers would be an ideal demographic for the Green party to reach out to, especially at the local level.

I always thought, "Prepare for ramming speed!" would have been your favorite. Your delivery on that line just radiated badassery.

I assume any cuts you're in favor of to the Defense budget excludes funding for military space systems such as GPS, satellite security, and research into emergent technologies like hypersonic aircraft, in-space servicing, new materials, and reusable space-planes like the XS-1 program.

Also, how would you reconcile those cuts with the need to develop counter ASAT systems currently being developed by the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians?
