A NOAA Sanctuary to protect shipwrecks is a distraction to the real goal of NOAA establishing jurisdiction over Lake Michigan. NOAA already has authority over Lake Huron. In addition to Lake Michigan NOAA is trying to establish sanctuaries today in Great Lakes of Superior, Ontario and Erie.
Sanctuaries on all the Great Lakes will give NOAA control over the largest supply of fresh water in America.

We do not need a federal agency to take control of this area of Lake Michigan. The key word is "control"!

None of the items NOAA offers to do require a sanctuary. What is their true reason for wanting this power?

I'm asking the voters of WI to realize that they will be effected by this NOAA Sanctuary. Land owners in MI learned this when they tried to cut down some trees on their private land, being told "you can't do that." America Somoa fishermen were told by NOAA that we will not deny your fishing rights, now the Somoa gov't has a lawsuit against NOAA because they have violated those rights. Jeremish O'Brien, V.P. of the Morrow Bay, CA, Commercial Fishermen's Organization stated that "NOAA violated the promise that the marine sanctuary there would not threaten their livelihoods." There are many other examples but most Wisconsinites will never hear them because the NOAA and its "WI friends" won't ever let this be made known nor allowed to present this type of info at its public hearings. When we bring up these examples we are put down with, "tin heads". End of discussion! Once the NOAA has control all opponents are silenced forever. The bureaucrats now rule.

I say NO to the NOAA Marine Sanctuary! Those ships have been down under for years and now all of a sudden we are having a sanctuary idea crammed down our throats. This should be the responsibility of state and local gov'ts. not the federal gov't.

The Wisconsin State Historical Society started this back in 2008. All the government agencies involved are looking for their share of the Federal Pork. All they care about is bigger budgets and more authority.

This Sanctuary is a terrible idea being promoted by people with a Big Government agenda.
