fiasco in Iowa - pls. write letters

[Guest guest]

(Re: Iowa dove hunting bill passed in legislature)

 

This is really disappointing news. It's pretty clear that we are just

not responding in sufficient numbers to make a difference.

 

Please folks, there is still a chance to save the doves, if all of us

write. The work required now is greatly reduced 'coz we are writing

only to the senators, not the reps. It doesn't take longer than 10

minutes and is well worth the several hundred thousand lives that can

be saved! Here's a link to a revised alert (with just the senators

addresses and a sample letter):
