Sportsmen’s Heritage Act Clears Key Hurdle

Monday, March 5th, 2012

Sportsmen Need to Call Their Congressmen Now

The newly introduced House Resolution 4089—strongly supported by the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) – has cleared the U.S. House of Representatives’ Natural Resources Committee and awaits a vote before the full House.  The bill passed the committee by a vote of 27 to 16.

HR 4089, which is a package of four high-priority bills will:

Classify BLM and US Forest Service land as open to hunting, fishing and recreational shooting unless closed or restricted based on scientific evidence;

Confirm that the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot ban lead in traditional ammunition or in sport fishing gear;
Protect recreational shooting on BLM National Monument land; and
Allow the import of legally hunted polar bear trophies now tangled in federal red-tape.

“USSA is pleased that the House Natural Resources Committee took such prompt action to approve H.R. 4089 — the most important pro-hunting legislation since the 1997 Refuge Improvement Act,” said Bill Horn, USSA Director of Federal Affairs (and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior).  “We tip our hats to the 24 Republicans and three Democrats who supported the bill.”

The American Sportfishing Association, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation, Safari Club International, USSA, and many other organizations are working hard to ensure passage by a broad bi-partisan majority.

Ask your Congressman to vote yes on HR 4089, the Sportsmen’s Heritage Act of 2012.  To find your Congressman’s contact information, visit USSA’s Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org/LAC.

We’re urging all hunters/sportsmen to contact your Congressmen and voice your support on this bill. This bill is very important for us as hunters and sportsmen. Take action today! Thank you for everything you do USSA. – Hunters Against PETA

Important Alert For Hunters In Virginia

Monday, January 30th, 2012

This article was written by our friends over at USSA.

“Calls Needed on Virginia Sunday Hunting Bill

On January 26th, the Virginia Senate passed a compromise bill that would allow for Sunday hunting only on private land and public waterways.  This brings sportsmen in Virginia one step closer to being able to hunt on Sundays, but this issue is far from over.

On Wednesday evening, the Natural Resources subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee will hold a hearing on Sunday hunting.  It is imperative that these members hear from you.  Tell them to support hunter’s rights and property rights by supporting Sunday hunting.

Please call and email each member of the subcommittee, then go to the USSA Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org/lac to find and email your own Delegate.

The subcommittee members are:

Delegate Lee Ware: 804-698-1065, dellware@house.virginia.gov
Delegate James Edmunds: 804-698-1060, deljedmunds@virgina.gov
Delegate Matt Fariss: 804-698-1059, delmfariss@house.virginia.gov
Delegate Lynwood Lewis: 804-698-1000, delllewis@house.virginia.gov
Delegate Ken Plum: 804-698-1036, delkplum@house.virginia.gov
Delegate Tony Wilt: 804-698-1026, deltwilt@house.virginia.gov
Delegate Tommy Wright: 804-698-1061, deltwright@house.virginia.gov

Hunting license sales in Virginia have been on the decline for decades.  During the past 20 years, license sales have gone from 500,000 to just 300,000 while the state’s population has increased by millions.  Many children and grandchildren today are busy with school, sports and extracurricular activities – and the weekend is their only opportunity to hunt.  Additionally, many parents routinely work six days a week.  Couple those things together and the result is that the love of hunting and the outdoors is simply not being passed on to the next generation in Virginia.  Allowing hunting on Sundays will provide additional opportunity for hardworking sportsmen and women.”

All sportsmen in Virginia please take a few minutes and make the necessary calls. Thanks for all that you do United States Sportsmen’s Alliance. – Hunters Against PETA

Our Fight In 2012

Saturday, January 21st, 2012

We’d first like to thank all of the thousands of hunters/sportsmen who joined Hunters Against PETA last year. And to all of those who took action whenever we sent out an email or posted some important information on our Anti-Hunting News page.

For us to protect our hunting, gun and fishing rights it requires that all sportsmen ban together and voice their opinions. We had some great victories last year that proved just that. One great example was when the Obama administration wanted to ban all shooting on public land. Sportsmen stood up and wouldn’t stand for it. And within weeks the idea was pulled from their agenda.

It’s great to see sportsmen ban together and fight for something that we all love, want to keep doing and want our children to enjoy as well.

This is going to be a great year for sportsmen. There are going to be a lot of great changes in favor of sportsmen.

Again fellow hunters and sportsmen, thank you for your support.

Let’s keep up the good fight!
