need more letters, NY crossbows

Post by sits in trees »

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Assemblyman Sweeney's office they have 150 to 50+- letters in opposition to the crossbow.
According to a very connected DEC employee he stated ; sportsmen are talking between themsevles but they are not sending in letters of support.

I have to agree with the later statement as I've seen more chatter on the internet forums than support letters.

So, tell all your friends to fill up these 2 guys email ,fax and phone before Monday to let them know there are more than a handfull fo people who actually pay attention.

Tell them this. Make the Xbow legal,no restrictions,let the DEC decide where to use it at. PERIOD

Previously emailed my local assemblyman and state senator and I just emailed the head of the enviro. comm. for the state senate and assembly. There are a lot of rumors that this bill was defeated or died in committee last week but on friday the 11th my assembly returned my email to let me know that he appreciated my involvement and would carefully look at the bill. My local assemblyman is on the enviro. comm which is probably why I got some type of acknowledgement.Lets see what happens.
