Defending Our Sporting Way of Life
Our vital wildlife resources are entrusted to the Board’s care, and that is why the board members must hear from us, the sportsmen. Our voices matter, let’s make sure we’re heard. We are no longer just stewards of the land, water, and cherished wildlife resources. We ARE the frontline defenders of a way of life increasingly under scrutiny.
There has never been a more crucial time in sportsmen’s history than now to be involved and engaged in protecting our way of life. Share this email with your family and friends. Urge them to join the fight with you and the Sportsmen’s Alliance. The legacy of hunting, fishing, and trapping depends on our actions today.
The Sportsmen’s Alliance guarantees hunting, fishing and trapping for the American sportsman now and forever. We’re there when sportsmen need us most. We are the only organization specifically created to protect the individual hunter, angler and trapper – no matter the threat. We will never compromise when it comes to defending our way of life in the courts, in the legislatures, in the public square and at the ballot box. We make this promise to the American sportsman: we will never give up and never give in while proudly securing our future against those seeking to destroy our values, beliefs, and traditions.
