Anti-Hunters Ousted on Election Day
New Jersey sportsmen send lawmakers packing
November 9, 2007 (New Jersey)
New Jersey sportsmen demonstrated their political clout on Election Day by
throwing out two incumbent lawmakers who have repeatedly attacked the stateâ??s
hunting traditions.
On Nov. 6, sportsmen made their way to the polls and soundly defeated state
Sen. Ellen Karcher, D-Freehold, and Assemblyman Mike Panter, D-Shrewsbury. The
anti-hunting lawmakers have sponsored legislation that will remove sportsmen
and biologists from the Fish and Game Council and allow anti-hunting political
appointees to take their place. Panter has also sponsored legislation that
would ban bear hunting, fund the animal rights agenda and strip the New Jersey
Fish and Game Commission of its management authority. The legislation has
become a rallying cry for sportsmen to better organize to defend themselves.
â??New Jersey sportsmen demonstrated that the hunting community has the
numbers to affect elections and influence policy,â?? said USSA President Bud
Pidgeon. â??Hats off to New Jersey sportsmen who pulled together to send a
message that our community will not stand idle while lawmakers attack the
traditions of law-abiding sportsmen.â??
In the weeks leading up to the election, New Jersey sportsmen mobilized to
protest the bill that will change the makeup of the Fish and Game Council, AB
3275. The sportsmenâ??s voice was heard by one of the billâ??s co-sponsors,
Assemblywoman Linda Greenstein, D-Monroe. She withdrew her support of the bill.
New Jersey sportsmen should continue asking their Assemblymen to oppose AB
3275, which awaits an Assembly floor vote. Let them know the bill will lead to
the collapse of hunting and wildlife conservation in the state. Call (609)
292-4840 or use the Legislative Action Center at www.ussportsmen.org.
