RE: Washington - Urgent Alert! Help Repeal I-713
 

a little something back from the letters...
this is a return letter from one of my navy buddies of mine that i brought in on this.

From: Moores, Kim ([email protected])

Dear Matthew:
"Thank you for your e-mail. The I-713 repeal legislation is dead in the House. More than one third of the House members oppose repeal, meaning the necessary supermajority it would take to pass it, will be impossible."

Thank you once again for your input.
Sincerely,
Representative Kathy Haigh

Dated 26 feb 02

?????????????
i didnt think it was happening until friday the 1st.

Well Nascar88, I don't think that it has made it on the floor. I think that is just a statement based on verbal commitments. I think this is one reason why Chopp doesn't want to send it to the floor. Everyone is assuming that there isn't enough votes to overturn the initiative. I say let it go to the floor and let's see what happens. Then we can hold our Reps accountable if they vote against the bill. We'd know who voted how, and they may not want us to know that.

I haven't received any responses from the NR Committee members. I'll send them another round. I haven't seen anything from Mr. Speaker either. Big surprise! I'll send him another one also. This really chaps my butt. I guess that since they aren't in my district, they don't need to respond to my letters.

Hey Hunt4life, has the WWC composed a list of who plans to oppose the repeal. I'd like to know who is in favor of destroying my private property and our public lands. How can these people be so ignorant of the ramifictions of I-713?

I JUST READ AN ARTICEL IN THE SEATTLE TIMES SAYING WHAT NASCAR POSTED IN HIS REPLY. I THINK ITS A CROCK, I'M GOING TO SEND OFF ANOTHER ROUND OF E-MAIL TONIGHT

This stuff is tracked by our political consultant. But more importantly I know what my reps had to say and I keep a file on them! And so should everyone!! Both my Reps (after 3 phone calls and 3 emails each) finally said that they will not vote for repeal). My Senator did vote for repeal though. I'm in the 44th, btw.

The WWC funds the HHC-PAC to help get hunter friendly legislators elected. I can't tell you how important it is that every outdoorsman and woman in this state have (at least) an single (individual) membership with the WWC. Without that support the effort will die and the hunter haters will continue to manage this state's wildlife with emotion. We need a strong, unified effort and everyone's help to ensure wildlife management based on sound science and proven management principals. The WWC is that effort. Lawsuits and political action takes boatloads of money. We are fighting national groups. We need you. Please go to the WWC's website and click on "memebership", download the membership form and lend a hand.

While the WWC is just now getting more and more recognition, the effort has been building for over 5 years. We have filed and helped to fund 4 lawsuits (two that pertain directly to 713). The fight has been raging on since the ban of hounds in 1996. But today the WWC effort has 19 major groups scores of individual memembers and is currently representing over 25,000 people! Add in the HHC and CRWM and there is almost 50 groups and 40,000 people! Please join. Please help. The battle is just beginning :)

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE, I HAVE SENT OVER 30 E-MAILS IN THE PAST WEEK AND WILL KEEP SENDING IF NEED BE TO GET THE POINT ACROSS TO THE IDIOTS

RE: Washington - Urgent Alert! Help Repeal I-713
 

This is the reply that I got back from my Senator. I appreciate that she responded in a personal way. I have contacted her office before, and always have a positive experience even though we don't usually agree.

I'm sorry, Nathan, that we disagree on this bill. I was supportive of it
until it was amended on the Senate floor to repeal I-713 at which time I
voted against it. I hope there are other bills on which we can agree.

Dear Friends,

Once again we are asking for your help - the timing is critical. Please don't let us down.

Listed below are House members who need to be contacted immediately and urged to vote yes, particularly if you live in their legislative district (LD).


1. Call the legislative hotline (1-800-562-6000) and leave a message for your legislators, if listed. If you don't know your LD, the hotline operator can look it up for you.

2. Be sure that all voters in your residence place their own calls. One call giving multiple names only counts as ONE call and it is numbers of separate calls that count.

3. Follow up with an Email.

4. Emails and phone calls to legislators outside your district will also be helpful. Phone calls would have to be made directly to their office, since the hotline only takes messages for your individual representatives.

5. Emphasize that the public was lied to and duped from start to finish in the proponents campaign and there was no way the public could have made an informed decision. i.e. faked pictures using traps illegal in WA; listing a prominent member of the recreational fishing community as a participant in crafting their Voters' Pamphlet statement (he denied this); their Voters' Pamphlet statement lied (when its been proven they were aware it was a lie well beforehand); the proponents violated public disclosure laws to the extent that the Public Disclosure Commission has sent the case to the Attorney General for further action. The "will of the people" statement is clearly not valid.

6. The initiative process in this state is valuable and to have it bastardized as it has been by the proponents of I713 is wrong and these people and others so inclined need to be sent a clear message that their tactics are not acceptable.

7. Personalize and use your own wording.

8. IT IS IMPORTANT that you get this message and the need for action to everyone in your circle, including co-workers, customers, friends and members of any groups you belong to without delay.

Thanks again.......
