Hunters and Anglers Demand
Climate Action!
Press Conference Announces
Delivery of Letter to Congress
Signed by 677 Hunting and Fishing
Organizations
Today, I stood in the same room with Sen. John Warner (R-VA), Sen. Robert
Casey (D-PA), noted sportsmen Simon Roosevelt and David Crockett and
dozens of other of my fellow hunters and anglers to stand up for
sportsmen and women across America concerned about climate change.
Together, we announced the delivery of a letter to
Congress bearing the signatures of nearly 700 hunting and fishing
organizations representing all 50 states.
This letter calls on Congress to pass comprehensive legislation that will
reduce America's
global warming pollution by 80% by mid-century. It also calls for dedicated
funding for natural resource conservation that is needed to help wildlife
adapt to a changing climate.

The press conference was followed by meetings
between the visiting hunters and anglers and their Members
of Congress to urge support for global warming legislation--particularly
the Climate Security Act in the Senate. This legislation
will cut global warming emissions and also provide funding
for wildlife.
You can take part
in this lobby day too! Please contact your senators
and urge them to support the Climate Security Act today.
Strong climate legislation is a critical first step
toward protecting our sporting lifestyle from the dangerous
consequences of global warming. Let your senators know
that their vote for the Climate Security Act is absolutely
crucial.
Sincerely,
Jared Mott
