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.
