Rage Broadheads Deer Hunting Game

Thanks for all the contact info and a great post. This is very important.

I contacted mine. One said she was for it and the other one said I was the first one to contact him about it and he didn’t know which we he was going to stand on it.

COME ON PEOPLE!!! It just takes a short e-mail!

The Sustainable funding amendment is now known as:

SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION (SJR) 2002

This is the result of the vote in the Senate Natural Resources and Environment committee:

Ayes, 14: Black, Hancock, Behn, Bolkcom, Dearden, Hogg, Johnson, Kettering, Lundby, Noble, Ragan, Schoenjahn, Seng, and Wood. Nays, none. Absent, 1: Gaskill.

Next step: SJR 2002 goes to the Senate floor.

It is extremely important that the Senate pass SJR 2002 with an overwhelming majority in order to send a message to the House Natural Resource Committee and the full House that this piece of legislation is very important to Iowans.

Emails are fast and easy to use, please take the time to send them. The next step up is a personal touch, a phone call, or better yet many legislators have meetings in their districts when they are home for the weekend, attend those meetings and voice your support for SJR 2002. Please be polite and respectful.

This amendment creates a Natural Resources and

Outdoor Recreation Trust fund within the treasury

for the purposes of protecting and enhancing water quality and natural areas in this State including parks, trails, and fish

and wildlife habitat, and conserving agricultural soils in

this State. Money in the fund shall be exclusively appropriated by law for these purposes.

This constitutional amendment is our promise to future Iowans that Iowa’s natural resources will be here for them with healthier water quality, wildlife habitat, and a top-notch system of parks and trails.

This bill goes to the full Senate SOON, please make your calls or emails this week.

(Thanks for making those contacts guys, every one counts!!! )

JC, I see that the majority of those Senators that need to be reached are from the Western/Central part of the state. There are more Western Iowa folks on the Iowa Outdoors site. Most of the Iowans on this site are North and South Eastern. You may consider posting there too but be warned you’ll need to put your flak suit on you’ll get a ton of crap, particularly if you aren’t a regular contributor. But there are many reasonable folk there too, just not percentage wise as many as on this site in my opinion. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and outlining specifically how we can help.

SJR 2002 passed the Senate this afternoon by a vote of 47 to 2!!!

Please thank your Senators for supporting the future of Natural resources and outdoor recreation in Iowa!

Now on to the House.

On the question “Shall the resolution be adopted?” (S.J.R. 2002), the vote was:
Yeas, 47:
Angelo, Fraise, Kettering, Ragan,
Appel, Gaskill, Kibbie, Schmitz,
Beall, Gronstal, Kreiman, Schoenjahn,
Behn, Hahn, Lundby, Seng,
Black, Hancock, McCoy, Seymour,
Boettger, Hartsuch, McKibben, Stewart,
Bolkcom, Hatch, McKinley, Warnstadt,
Connolly, Heckroth, Mulder, Wieck,
Danielson, Hogg, Noble, Wood,
Dearden, Horn, Olive, Zaun,
Dotzler, Houser, Putney, Zieman,
Dvorsky, Johnson, Quirmbach

Nays, 2:
Courtney, Rielly

P.S. Rugbystar, it is on the IO site in the general hunting forum for lack of a better place. And I am a regular over there.

State of Iowa to dedicate a portion of state revenue from the tax imposed on
certain retail sales of tangible personal property and services for the
benefit of the state’s natural resources. Opening remarks were made and there
were no amendments. There were questions from Representatives Upmeyer,
Baudler, Bailey, Lukan, Whitaker, Rasmussen and Rayhons. Representative Bell
moved for passage of SJR 2002. A record roll call was taken and SJR 2002
passed with 20 Ayes, 1 Absent, and 0 Nays. Representative Mertz was excused
from the meeting, and would have also voted Aye for the Resolution.
Representative Taylor, D. recognized the passage of SJR 2002 and referred the
bill to the floor of the House as a Senate Joint Resolution.

There is also 1 more I would add to the contact list simply because I know he is currently against the Constitutional amendment.

David Jacoby House District 30 Coralville

His position is that we shouldn’t amend the constitution but that we should fund these needs through the Iowa code.

I’m not sure he fully understands the history of Natural resources and outdoor recreation being constantly underfunded by the legislature and being the first thing cut when dollars get tight.

I also don’t know if he knows that constitutionally protecting this funding stream was the recommendation of the legislators on the sustainable funding task force. (from both sides of the aisle)

What I do know is that I and several of you will now try to explain it to him.

My high score so far is 74. Let’s post our high scores here!
