Sportsmen’s Heritage Act Clears Key Hurdle
Sportsmen Need to Call Their Congressmen Now

The newly introduced House Resolution 4089—strongly supported by the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) – has cleared the U.S. House of Representatives’ Natural Resources Committee and awaits a vote before the full House.  The bill passed the committee by a vote of 27 to 16. 

HR 4089, which is a package of four high-priority bills will:

Classify BLM and US Forest Service land as open to hunting, fishing and recreational shooting unless closed or restricted based on scientific evidence;     
Confirm that the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cannot ban lead in traditional ammunition or in sport fishing gear;
Protect recreational shooting on BLM National Monument land; and
Allow the import of legally hunted polar bear trophies now tangled in federal red-tape.
 “USSA is pleased that the House Natural Resources Committee took such prompt action to approve H.R. 4089 -- the most important pro-hunting legislation since the 1997 Refuge Improvement Act,” said Bill Horn, USSA Director of Federal Affairs (and former Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior).  “We tip our hats to the 24 Republicans and three Democrats who supported the bill.”

Click here to view the vote breakdown.

The American Sportfishing Association, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation, National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation, Safari Club International, USSA, and many other organizations are working hard to ensure passage by a broad bi-partisan majority.

Take Action! Every sportsman and sportswoman should contact their Congressman now and urge them to support this groundbreaking bill. Ask your Congressman to vote yes on HR 4089, the Sportsmen’s Heritage Act of 2012.  To find your Congressman’s contact information, visit USSA's Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org/LAC.

The email I just sent to Jamie Herrera Beutler, a strong supporter of spotsmen and women in our state and the US House.

RE: HR4089 Sportsman's Heritage Act

Dear Congresswoman Beutler,

Please join the sportsmen and women of Washington State to support the passage of HR 4089, The Sportsman's Heritage Act.

At a time when our rights are on the line and being assaulted daily by extremist groups from the left, we need this bill to ensure that public lands will remain open to hunters, fishermen, and all other sportsmen and women across the United States in perpetuity.

Thank you for all of the support you've shown us in the past. We need your continued support to pass this important legislation. I request the courtesy of a reply.

Most Sincerely,
John W
Vancouver, WA

This is a piece of cake for me because my rep is on the correct side of sporting and 2nd Amendment issues. Some of you other guys may need to call your rep's office and get them to give you their position. You pay them with your taxes and have a right to ask. This one is very big for us.

In case I was unclear, this is a bill before the US House of Representatives. So, you need to contact US Congressman/Woman.

Just sent off an email to my Representative.  When they receive lots of communications on a subject they will take notice.  Now we just need to track this bill to see where it goes.
