PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — As the battle over Oregon's recent delisting of the gray wolf as endangered is waged in a courtroom, the state's lone Republican congressman helped convince the House to approve a plan to remove all protections for the species at the federal level.

It was introduced Monday by Oregon Rep. Greg Walden and Washington state Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers and Dan Newhouse as an amendment to a large federal appropriations package.
The plan would enable the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to move forward with its proposal made three years ago to delist the gray wolf under the federal Endangered Species Act by 2017.

He's just made a majority of his constituents, ranchers, loggers, redneck cowpokes, etc., very-very happy, as he does with everything he supports.
Me? He just continues to make me very-very sick and disgusted.
Have never voted for him, never will, and while I admire and support any candidate with the courage to oppose him, I learned long ago it's pointless to wish Walden would at long last lose and crawl back under whatever rock he lives under.
