Dear Friends

Although we are very focused on the election right now (there is only a week and a half until election day) we are now also beginning to ramp up the support for Assembly bill A3275 and Senate bill  S2041, the legislation that will reform the NJ Fish and Game Council.

The first part of this campaign is our rally on Saturday Oct. 27th. 
At the rally we will announce and read our "Declaration for an 
Independent and Democratic Wildlife Council"   which I have included below.

We have also launched an online petition in support of the bills, and 
you can either access it from our website, here: 
http://www.protectnjanimals.com/Main.html  (scroll to the bottom of 
the page) or by direct link here:

We also need to start contacting our state legislators and ask them 
to support these vital bills. You can find out who your two state 
Assemblypeople and one state Senator are by going to this link:

Declaration for an Independent and Democratic Wildlife Council

We, the people of New Jersey, stand united against the NJ Fish and 
Game Council, for it has abused its power, has broken the law, and 
benefits from millions of our tax-dollars every year without giving 
one voice to the common man.

We seek nothing but reasonable reforms that will prepare our state 
for managing wildlife in the twenty-first century.  We aspire to 
nothing more than bringing democracy to a state body that now has 
none.

We act for the environment, for wildlife, for the people of New 
Jersey and the ideal of good government, for when one special 
interest holds tyranny over all, only arrogance and corruption can 
follow.

In this cause we are unanimous and resolute:  The NJ Fish and Game 
Council must be dramatically reformed, so that it will at last serve the interests of the many instead of the recreational hunting desires of the few.
