under "Restr iction of State Lobbying:"
"RESTRICTI ON ON STATE LOBBYIN G
Non e of t he funds und er t his program will be used for a ny acti vi ty spec ifi ca lly design ed t o urge or influ ence a State
or local leg islator to fa vor or op pose t he adoption of any spec ific legi slative proposa l pe nding before any State or
local leg islat ive body. Such activities incl ud e bot h direct and ind irect (e.g., "grass roots") lob byin g acti vities, with
one exception. This does not preclude a State official whose salary is supported with NHTSA funds from engaging
in direct communications with State or local legislative officials, in accordance with customary State practice,
even if such communications urge legislative officials to favor or oppose the adoption of a specific pending
legislative proposal."
Unless each Federal & State AMF Advisory Board Member "is supported with NHTSA funds ," they are other-wise
prohibited from direct and/or indirect favor supporting these programs, legislation proposals, actions and/or funding
without prior disclose of possible conflict of interest and may be in violation of Ethics laws.

"Submission of this certification is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by
section 1352, title 31, U.S. Code. Any person who fa ils to fi le the required certification shall be subject to a
civi l pena lt y of not less t ha n S1o,ooo a nd not more than S1oo,ooo for each such fa ilure."
2) Gary Olson, Chairman aka President & CEO of AMF and the Grow More Moose Organization (GMM)
willfully and egregiously copied and utilized the works of art and photographic work product(s) owned
by professional photographer, Mi'chelle A. Barnes, aka Grizzly Classics of Alaska in violation of the
Federal Copy Right Act of 1976.

AMF Alaska Highway Safety Office Grant Application dated 09.14.2006 shows that Olson certainly had
knowledge of unauthorized use of other work products owned by NHTSA & AHSO, see below:
"C. Copyright: The Alaska Hig hway Safety Office and the U.S. Department of Transportation reserves a

grantee, or a contractor purchases ownership with grant support."
Additionally the e-mail dated March 23, 2oog, from Gary Olson to Mi'chelle Barnes states,
"Hello again, this is not one of the primary contacts for Discovery for us but I am send ing yo u all correspondence

of advertising; membership fund raising; solicit Corporate Sponsorships; newsletters; and public
relations use to better and advance AMF & GMM actions, purposes, programs and projects of the
AMF and Grow More Moose Organization.
Deadline:
It would be with deep personal regret, if Gary Olson fails to meet the deadline below, legal action would
have to commence to collect payment and make me made whole. As Gary Olson noted May 13, 2009, we
each want to purse using our lives and personal gifts to raise awareness of Moose Conservation and Mitigation.
It is a personal mission that I and my Mother, Rep. Ramona Barnes (Speaker of the House) commenced with
the Save the Moose effort during the winter of 1989-90. As I explained to Gary on May 13, 2009, proceeds
from the sales of my photographic works provide for my financial support which is especially essential to me
because I do not have a spouse supporting my financial needs like him. It is my sincere hope that the Infringement of Copyright Settlement Agreement Invoice will be paid by May 21, 2009 by 5:00p.m. to avoid
having to publically purse Federal legal action. All AMF & GMM financial organization assets, banking
deposits, income statements and IRS Tax Returns from 01.01.2000 to current, will be subpoenaed. Gary Olson,
AMF & GMM claim to be "an educational non-profit" however, AMF has actively sought city, state & federal
grant funding for "Moose Mitigation" efforts which the AMF Newsletters show includes 'grooming' with Snow
Cats.

Hello Gary,
Thank you for taking the time to discuss your thoughts with me. I hope you have a speedy recovery
from your cold, everyone in my office is sick or has been sick.
Re: I am saddened that this action may carry through and I do not know what to say other than I will
try to meet these near impossible demands.
Gary, I am not a non-profit business but I will offer this alternative solution to provide you with more
time.
1) If you pay 1/3 of the invoice($ 5000.00) by 05.21.09 at 5:00p.m.
2) I will extend the balance of the invoice due on 06.02.09 which should give you plenty of time to
get a business line of credit; a home equity loan or some other way you can pay the other $10,000.00.
This is the best offer I can give you to give you additional time to remit the payment regarding the
invoice dated 05.13.09 which is due upon receipt. I am surprised that given the grant funding and
statewide fund raising
banquets this winter AMF has received, that there seems to be any crunch at all.
In the interim I am researching your financials so if you have not been completely honest with me, I
will know very shortly. The Copy Right Law of 1976 does not indemnify well meaning persons that
copyright the creative work products of creators. I know you have a heart felt concern for Moose but
I can assure you that it is no more than the depth of the feeling I have for Moose and all wildlife that's
why I pushed
Mom for us to do "Save the Moose" in the 1989-90 winter.
3) Please mail or e-mail me a receipt for the artwork I provided for the Spring Banquet in Palmer
for $150- of"Stand Off."
Thank you,
Mi'chelle

Hello Michelle,
I have battled a cold for the last 4 days since coming over to see you so please do not have
anyone else come over until you are feeling better. My voice is back now so I am going to
contact Betsy to see if she can help with the needed advertising for the full page ads which I
agree will be beneficial for this effort. Certainly, with her homestead being right in the middle of
Pt. McKenzie, her passion for that area will be genuine. I will let you know what she thinks.
On the payment issue, I have only a loss of words with your stated intentions but you will do
what you have to do. As I said in person, the AMF has worked on less than a shoe string budget
where most non-profits have a significant backer (which has certainly not been the case here
except for my time). Since its conception, we have had the purests of intent being the helping
of moose that the people who have had life altering experiences with them (vehicle collisions,
attacks, etc). Though we both agree that moose have been tragically abandoned by too many
in Alaska, your time line per the following is an unrealistic deadline which leaves no other
options unless Betsy is willing to assist which she may very well do but we do not know yet. I
am saddened that this action may carry through and I do not know what to say other than I wi ll
try to meet these near impossible demands.
I will contact you after I have successfully contacted Betsy with her ideas. Tom has emailed me
that he has had a terrible bout with the flu thus I will not contact hlm until his voice returns
which he hopes is later this week.
Thank you for your passion in helping moose and I will let you know what I find out.
Gary

maintain the quantity and quality of Alaska's moose population.
February 16, 2007
Paralyzed Veterans of America
Attn: Mr. Doug Warren
801 Eighteenth Street, NW
Washington, DC 20006-3 51 7
RE: 'No Moose Commute' Corporate Sponsorship Consideration
Dear Mr. Warren,
The Alaska Moose Federation would like the Paralyzed Veterans of America to consider
joining our unprecedented rural and urban effort to increase public safety while rebuilding
Alaska's moose populations. The 'No Moose Commute' was created after the winter of
2003 resulted in over 1,000 vehicle collisions. The effort targets statewide moose collision
corridors including the Mat-Su to Anchorage commute. Our efforts, all of which significantly increase public safety, will help mitigate these accidents while enhancing moose
away from these roads.
We are a four year old 501(c)(3) Alaskan non profit dedicated to assisting state agencies by
implementing initial and long term mitigation efforts. Alaska state agencies currently lack
deep snow mitigation plans which are some of the top killers of moose populations. AMF is
focusing its efforts and resources in the following ways:
Food Banks's Wild Game Salvage Program- AMF, partnered with Food Bank of Alaska, to
assume the highway moose salvage program to shorten response time while increasing public safety by utilizing specialized equipment to remove moose whole rather than having volunteers processing them on Alaska's highways.
Winter Trail Escape Program- Utilize equipment to compact snow trails that allow moose
to reach new habitat thus providing them alternative travel routes away from the transportation corridors. This program has been performed in Alaska before.
Winter Habitat Enhancement- Long term solutions include the commencement of AMF
overseen habitat enhancement along road and rail corridors. In addition, the complete removal of moose browse within DOT's right of way will further encourage moose to winter
away from these transportation corridors.
In addition, the AMF is insisting that wildlife fencing and crossing structures need to be implemented in highway design where dangerous collision corridors occur.

Thank you for considering this request. To inquire more about our organization or the
specific needs of each program, please contact us at our office at 336-6673 or my cell at
317-1200 for further details.
Sincerely,

Gary Olson, Chairman
The Alaska Moose Federation

I am very excited about the upcoming banquet as well as the
opportunity to meet the many more AMF supporters and I welcome the chance to spend time talking about home with new
friends.

Alaska has been my home for well over 20 years, not in the sense Alaska Moose Federation and the opportunity to work together

Wainwright in Fairbanks was injured in Iraq and was recently
awarded the Distinguished Service Cross by the Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs General Peter Pace for his heroism in battle. A very
humble hero and passionate outdoorsman that has been working
hard to help develop projects for more of our wounded heroes
and I am sure he will also be a true ally for the AMF.
Five years ago with the Paralyzed Veterans of America Heritage
Fund I began bringing a group of injured veterans to Alaska every
fall to moose hunt outside of Fairbanks, in order to try and share a
small part of something so special to me as well as to help provide
an opportunity that these dedicated sportsman might not otherwise
have a chance to enjoy during their lifetime. We have enjoyed
great support from the Alaska Senatorial leaders since day one
with these programs and taking advantage of this article would
like to thank both Senator Ted Stevens and Senator Lisa
Murkowski for everything they have done since the beginning to
support our efforts in helping us open Alaska for our disabled Veterans.

We are very excited about developing our relationship with the
