NRA-ILA Grassroots Alert Vol. 13,
No. 4 01/27/06
On January 26, the Wisconsin State Senate voted 23-10 to override the Governor's veto of the Personal Protection Act (PPA). The bill now moves to the Assembly for an override vote that is scheduled for Tuesday, January 31. In support of the PPA, please attend Tuesday's vote at 10:00 a.m., on the 3rd floor of the West Wing at the capitol. Please also contact your State Representative reminding him or her to continue their support of the PPA by voting to override the Governor's veto on Tuesday, January 31. Representatives can be reached at (800) 362-9472. Additionally, The future of hunting in Wisconsin is in serious jeopardy. For every 100 hunters lost due to old age or other factors, only 53 replace them. The primary reason for Wisconsin's declining hunter recruitment rate is the current minimum hunting age. Many kids have already developed other interests by the time they turn 12. Assembly Bill 586, also known as the "Hunter Mentoring Bill," has been introduced to provide parents more discretion with regard to deciding when their children are mature enough to hunt. Thirty states have passed similar legislation. Please call your State Senator at (800) 362-9472 and respectfully ask him or her to support AB 586, the "Hunter Mentoring Bill."
