Want To Be Ruled By Evil Men?
The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men. Plato.

Rescue Our Outdoors Rally

New Jersey Outdoor Alliance

New Egypt, NJ --(AmmoLand.com)-One of the most conservative figures for the number of anglers, hunters and conservationists in New Jersey is 650,000.

In terms of a potential “voting bloc” this number is approximately 15% of the voters in the entire state. It is an enormous number of potential voters and can be a politicians dream – or worst nightmare.

The outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen of NJ have the power to shape the future to fit their conservation interests, all we need to do is show Trenton that we CARE and that we VOTE.

We can do both of these things in the next few weeks. We can show we CARE by attending the R.O.O.R. Rally this Saturday. Let the rally be YOUR message to be heard in Trenton. Also, VOTE on November 3, 2009.

Take Plato’s advice – he understood the high price that is paid for apathy. Attend R.O.O.R. and vote on November 3rd.

Read how it’s being dismantled under “Conservation Report Card.”

About:
NJOA – New Jersey Outdoor Alliance is the state’s first major political action committee devoted to the task of electing outdoor-minded candidates to public office. NJOA has formed with the support of leaders of major pro-hunting, pro-angling, and pro-trapping organizations. We are not a hunting, fishing, or trapping “club” or “group,” and do not compete with the interests of such organizations. NJOA helps to ensure that strong wildlife and natural resource protection laws are produced by outdoor-minded elected officials. The best way to ensure a “conservation presence” in Trenton is to support the election campaigns of representatives who understand the relationship between a balanced ecology and hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Rescue Our Outdoors Rally – Does a rally really work?
The simple answer is yes, but it needs to be well attended.

New Jersey Outdoor Alliance

Belmar, NJ --(AmmoLand.com)- Here’s proof. The large turnout for the NJOA “Mullica Hill” rally and “Battle of Monmouth” rally, both in 2007, brought attention to two bills designed to ban freshwater fishing and hunting in NJ. The bills were also meant to alter the Fish and Game Council in order to weaken its conservation policy by injecting an animal rights agenda.

The rallies were well attended and are largely responsible for the defeat of the sponsors of the bills; Asm Panter Sen Karcher. Additionally, the bills did not proceed because our legislators realized that the rallies represented a grassroots movement of 650,000 anglers, hunters and conservationists expressing their dissatisfaction with the legislation.

It was a classic example of our political system representing the will of the people.

The success of the rallies helped to stem a ban on hunting on the Navesink and Shrewsbury Rivers, turned back an attack on bow hunting in Wall Township, paved the way for the creation of New Jersey’s first angling and hunting caucus by State Senator Stephen Sweeney and a federal fishing and hunting caucus created by Congressman John Adler. Ultimately, the rallies were the genesis that led to Governor Corzine signing Sunday Bow Hunting into law.

But we are now at crossroads. There are systemic issues that must be changed immediately if we are to ensure the quality of New Jersey’s outdoor experience.

• We need to eliminate a bear policy that is designed to appease animal rights activists and puts NJ residents in harms way.
• We have to reverse the raiding of funds to departments that provide for our ability to fish and hunt; a pillaging that is crippling productivity.
• We must overturn the neglect of the fish and game councils that determine our fishing and hunting opportunities.
• We have to allow our foresters the chance to practice forestry and prevent the potential of wildfires and restore species of birds and animals that are extirpating before our eyes.
• We must stop the nominations of people with “anti-fishing” sentiments to represent recreational and commercial fishing interests.

All of this is happening NOW.

The above occurrences should be an outrage to all anglers, hunters and conservationists. It is OUR obligation to stop it before it is too late. That moment is now – we are at crossroads.

The R.O.O.R. Rally (Rescue Our Outdoors Rally) has been organized to send a message to Trenton that we will not tolerate the dismantling of our fishing, hunting and conservation policies and freedoms. It is a rally designed to exceed all others. It is YOUR chance to voice YOUR concerns and stop the erosion of YOUR outdoor interests.

Remember, the Mullica Hill and Battle of Monmouth rallies are proven successes. Join us in raising our voices again in the Rescue Our Outdoor Rally. Those that oppose us want us to remain silent…

R.O.O.R. and be heard!
