It appears that the opposition forces have ramped up. They are desperate to maintain their grip over us. They don't want us to experience our rightful freedoms to fish, hunt and trap.
During the last 24 hours the bow bills have become a national issue. The national forces of HSUS, Sierra, Horse Riders and others are panicked and enraged and have mobilized to keep us in our place. They are gathering their financial strength and calling up personnel from all over the country to browbeat our legislators into defeating the bow bills. Make no mistake - this is a culture war. A war waged by people that need to control the way others live their lives. It is all of the ugliness of prejudice - it is a prejudice against outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen under a veneer of self-righteousness.
It is all on the line. It is Panter and Karcher all over again. They know that to lose this battle is to begin to lose the war.
If we are to ever get out from under their grip we must act NOW. We must flood our legislators with emails over the weekend and call their offices Monday morning. TELL THEM TO SUPPORT BILLS A595 AND A1669.
Here's how to email:
To email your two assemblypersons click the following link. Find for your town. Then click on your district for your assemblypersons. Then click on your assemblyperson's NAME. It will take you to their home page and there's a link that says "Contact your Legislator." Click it.

Take down their phone numbers while you are on their home page and begin calling their offices Monday morning.
Do it in the name of the mentors that introduced you to the outdoors, do it for yourselves, do it for future generations - whatever your reasons just do it! You won't get another chance!
