"I believe all conservation programs should create positive incentives to protect species and above all should hold the rights of private landowners sacred."

"I support adequate funding for the Partners Program, but I am concerned that the funding Congress provides may be controlled by a political agenda."

"My concern is if something is working real well, I don't want to change it."

"The Partners Program demonstrates that conservation, oil and gas development, and agriculture are not mutually exclusive."
