I know that most traditional people have a tendency to not get involved in politics which is causing our sporting rights, as well as our second amendment rights, to erode at a rapid rate. I fully recognize most people are still not going to get active for a variety of reasons. Knowing that, I and a couple of others started a group called "Sportsman’s Defense Watch" which is now a tax exempt organization. We are centered in Lincoln County but our membership is open to anyone in the State of Oregon. Our goal is to do the work for all Sports minded women and men. Whether you are a fisherman, a hunter, a plinker, or just one who owns guns for defense we want to look out for your interests.
What do we need from you? We need your membership which is open to anyone in the State of Oregon. It is FREE but we do accept donations. We need numbers for our membership so we can be a force to, hopefully, affect things happening anywhere that affects our rights as sportsman. Have you noticed how big the books for Fishing and Hunting regulations are getting? It seems like we can’t do anything anymore. A rule and law for everything no matter how little sense it makes. Oregon, at the hands of big money from anti-gun zealots like Bloomberg who recently gave the present unelected Governor $250,000 for her reelection, has been going after your gun rights and they will continue the assault.
What will you get from us? First off you get to be as active as you want in the organization and we would welcome you at any level. But if you want to not be active we understand as we know people are busy with jobs or family so many just don’t have the time. We would hope to get your email and we would notify you of any issues coming before the Fish & Wildlife, the legislator, or any other organization which might affect your rights. We might suggest a simple email to your congressman regarding the issue. It up to you what you do. We also have a facebook page and a twitter page if you are active in those. We promise not to fill your email box with useless emails.
I want to ask each of you for two things; 1) Please join us as membership numbers mean we have some influence when we speak. 2) Please vote in the upcoming election. We need to clean up our state legislature.
To make this as painless as I can, email me at [email protected] and I’ll get you signed up. If I handed this letter to you, you can either mail it or send an email to [email protected]. If you want to send a donation send to: Sportsman’s Defense Watch, PO Box 304, Newport, OR 97365. If you want more information email me and I will send info back to you.
Please feel free to send this letter out to like minded people I may not know. The only big requirement is that you live in Oregon.
