Dear SAOVA Friends,
The Sportsmen's and Animal Owners' Voting Alliance (SAOVA) today unveiled its updated 2014 Election website at http://saova.org/
The site contains our endorsements of more than 250 candidates running for Congress in the elections on November 4, 2014. In addition, we have provided our analysis of candidates in several state legislative contests. SAOVA ENDORSED candidates understand the anti-hunting, anti-animal ownership threat of animal rights ideology, and have voting records or exceptionally strong values that demonstrate their commitment to protecting our interests and not burdening us with unnecessary, restrictive regulation. Animal Rightist Endorsed politicians are the problem. They are formally endorsed or highly rated by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), and they consistently vote for legislation to strip us of our rights to hunt, fish, and own pets and livestock.
Key incumbents endorsed in this election include:
Mike Coffman (R-CO 6)
Rick Scott (R-FL Governor)
John Barrow (D-GA 12)
Pat Roberts (R-KS Senate)
Lee Terry (R-NE 2)
Kay Hagan (D-NC Senate)
Important SAOVA candidate endorsements include:
Dan Sullivan (R-AK Senate)
Steve Knight (R-CA 25)
Brian Nestande (R-CA 36)
Cory Gardner (R-CO Senate)
Bruce Rauner (R-IL Governor)
Mike Bost (R-IL 12)
Bobby Schilling (R-IL 17)
Joni Ernst (R-IA Senate)
Bill Cassidy (R-LA Senate)
Steve Daines (R-MT Senate)
Alex Mooney (R-WV 2)
Evan Jenkins (R-WV 3)
There are also ballot initiatives for voters in several states. Maine voters must decide on Question 1, the Bear Referendum – an HSUS initiative which would ban the use of bait, dogs or traps in bear hunting. The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Maine’s Bear Biologists, and Maine Game Wardens are opposed to Question 1 based upon over 40 years of scientific research conducted by state wildlife biologists in Maine. The state already has one of the largest bear populations in the country, estimated at over 30,000 bears. Vote NO on Question 1.
Right to Hunt and Fish Amendments will be on the ballots in Alabama and Mississippi to ensure the continuation of hunting, fishing, and trapping traditions for future generations. If passed, Alabama and Mississippi will join 17 other states in ensuring constitutional protections for their citizens.
Please take the time to visit and study our analyses. We make no pretense of evaluating candidates' positions on national security, taxes, education, medical care or social issues. To the degree that hunting and animal ownership are important to you, we offer this review to be combined with other, personal considerations to determine your vote on November 4, 2014.
The world not only belongs to those who show up, it's controlled by the best informed and most motivated. Vote on November 4th!
