**ATTENTION BOWHUNTERS**
I copied this from a WV DNR web site. This would suck big time!! Pass this information to all hunters and bowhunters that you may know. If they do get away with this, gun hunting will be next.

>(Columbus) - The U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance (USSA) has learned that the nation's principal anti-hunting organizations will announce a merger on Monday, November 22. In announcing the merger, the unified anti-hunting group will reveal its intention to target bowhunters for extinction.

>The HSUS, located in Washington, D.C., is the nation's largest animal rights organization raising nearly $60 million in 2002. The Fund for Animals is the most vociferous anti-hunting organization and is headquartered in New York City. It raised $6.7 million in 2003.

>
>"The merger announcement serves as a wake up call to bowhunting groups to reunite to defeat what promises to be a powerful attack on our heritage from this monstrous anti-hunting group," said Rick Story, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance senior vice president. "To win, we will need to energize the vast grassroots network of sportsmen across this country."

>Over the years, the Fund for Animals and HSUS have been the two most formidable organizations working to ban hunting. While the Fund for Animals has been openly hostile to hunters, HSUS has attempted to mask its intentions by raising funds using puppy calendars for promotions. Earlier this year, HSUS appointed former Fund for Animals official Wayne Pacelle to the position of CEO. Combined with the merger announcement, Pacelle's appointment leaves little doubt about the agenda of the newly-merged organization. According to public filings the new organization will have combined assets of as much as $97 million to implement its anti-hunting agenda.

RE: **ATTENTION BOWHUNTERS**
As I've said before, and elsewhere on this forum:
The EU has this all calculated, we’ve already lost this battle, we just don’t see the writing on the wall. The U.S. is the only major holdout. They are coming for our bows and guns, they will get them, and then we will be forced to live under an even more socialist government.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no such thing as truth, only perception.
Government of, by, and for the people has been dead for over 100 years.
The time for revolution is NOW!
