The PA Game Commission Needs Your Help

The push is on, full tilt this spring to get the long awaited license increase. To that end, many organizations and groups are going to be seeking signatures on petitions over the next month. You will see them at the Eastern Outdoors and Sports Show, other Outdoor Shows, in local business's, and your sportsmen's club.
Individuals that understand what is at stake are an important part of this petition drive. You as an individual can make a huge impact on the success of this petition drive. Individuals have their own social networks of people that they can seek signatures from. These networks are usually totally different from the larger club or sportsmens organization efforts. Individuals can and do make a huge difference in petition drives.
You can help. Go to:
http://www.pfsc.org/Petition.pdf
You will find a printable petition with all the info there. Please print several and help out. Take them to work, to the gym, get them in the local sporting goods store, basically wherever you go or they will get signed.
The license increase is a yes or no proposition. Someone is either for it or against it. The time for argument is over - time to sign-up and support it, or don't.
The text of the petition reads:
Petition to Increase Cost of a General Hunting License
Petition summary and background:
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has received 2 license increases in the last 23 years. Without adequate funding, they are unable to manage our wildlife resources. In 1985, the fee was increased to $12.50 and in 1999, it was increased to $20.00. With all the increased costs and mandates, the agency can no longer continue to function effectively without an increase in funding.
Action petitioned for:
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens who urge our Legislators to act now to increase the fee for a general hunting license. We request a minimum increase to $35.00 for a general license. We support maintaining a strong and independent Game Commission. While we may not agree with all PGC decisions on wildlife management, we believe a license increase is needed to assure our wildlife is scientifically managed in the future.
It is very important that the name be legible. Also that the town and zip code be legible as well.
Return address for your completed petitions:
PFSC State Office
2426 North 2nd Street
Harrisburg, PA 17110
The address to return completed petitions is also printed on the petition.
One signature on one petition or a box full of complete petitions - all are needed.
**** I understand some may have issues supporting a license fee increase for
an agency that supports hunting and trapping. Please keep in mind, these
license sale proceeds help more than the hunted game animals. Game animals
consist of some 30 species. There are 437 more animals and birds in
Pennsylvania that depend on the commission. Habitat, protection, studies and
management are but a few things this money brings to the protected birds and
animals.
I would also appreciate this being posted elsewhere should you deem it
worthy of your support.
Thank you.
