Sportsman's Act Still Alive says KeepAmericaFishing


The Sportsmen's Act of 2012 may yet again come up for vote in the U.S. Senate as members are working hard to craft a solution to the procedural problem that stopped the bill from passing the Senate. A diverse coalition of angling, hunting and conservation organizations is working hard to support this effort and eventual passage, but time is running out.
On November 26, in a surprise upset, the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Sportsmen's Act of 2012 (S. 3525). After months of discussion with Senate members by a large and diverse coalition of angling, hunting and conservation organizations who worked to create a historic bill containing 17 key provisions for anglers, hunters and fish and wildlife conservation; the bill failed to pass over a party line vote on a procedural motion.
You can still make an impact and KeepAmericaFishing™ provides an easy way to send an effective message to Senate members. We need everyone's support to help pass this essential piece of legislation.
This link www.KeepAmericaFishing.org/sportsmensact, takes you to a Take Action Now page.
Please help us convince the Senate to bring this bill back to the floor and vote YES for fish and wildlife conservation!
