2009 Iowa Dove Bill

[feathhd]

Everyone who wishes to have the opportunity to hunt doves in Iowa, Your Urgent & Consistent
message of Support for the Iowa Dove Bill should
be sent to all members of the committee as soon
as possible.

I would strongly encourage everyone
to draft their own letter in support of the Dove
Bill and e mail every Senator on the list provided.

Please include your own senator from your district
in the e mail process. Please include your county if you will. Please pass this letter along to your hunting partners and ask them to help by sending e mails.
Print this letter and make copies and put it up at your local gun shop, sport shop and trap range.

I would also encourage that the letter you compose
be saved to your PC, so that you could utilize it
at least once a week in a repeat mailing campaign.

This will allow you to send your letter of support
with very little effort involved. You may consider
the mailing campaign on a more frequent basis if you
wish or as often as you can.

Every bit of effort counts and everyone's support
is necessary. Again this is another year we have a chance
to voice our Support for the Iowa Dove Bill SF25.

Special Note: I ask that everyone send an e mail letter to Senator Dick Dearden, thanking him for his efforts on the Dove Bill.

CLICK ON THE ABOVE EMAIL AND TELL REP. BELL WE NEED A DOVE SEASON IN THE STATE OF IOWA. TELL YOUR FRIENDS AND PASS THIS REQUEST ALONG TO ALL THAT YOU KNOW.


FOLLOWING IS NOTE :

On the Dove bill...in the Senate right now also heard in the House is coming but I did not find it yet....Rep. Bell who heads up the House Natural Resources says he gets 50 plus letters against Dove hunting every time this comes up but he does not hear from others with my exception...we need to flood him with notes to help us with a Dove Hunting bill.

Again folks just a little e mail to Representative Paul Bell will go a long way in supporting an Iowa Dove Bill.


Thanks for your time and your support folks.

The Anti Hunting element is trying to nock us down folks and at this time I wish to ask for everyone's help and support. Please contact those in the above list and let them know you support SF 25. Please do not fail to include your own legislature from your district when you do this.

Again I wish to say thank your for your time and your help in pushing back against those who would rather see us not hunt anything.
