This was sent to us from the Iowa Bowhunters Association and as a club we have submitted letters to the state supporting the license increase. I am asking that all of our members please support the IBA initiative to make an impact to get the fees increased to support the DNRs conservation projects.

"The Iowa Conservation Alliance (ICA), as the name implies, is an alliance of twenty two conservation groups in Iowa. The ICA is asking that all members of the Alliance send out a request to their respective members to make a telephone call to their legislators at the State Capitol on January the 18th and leave them a message that you support passage of the increase in hunting, fishing and fur harvester license fees (Fish & Wildlife Trust Fund) and passage of the IWILL/Recreation Trust Fund initiative.

The Iowa Bowhunters Association is a member of the ICA and as such we would like you to call your legislators on January 18th to show your support of license fee increase and the IWILL funding. You can call your Representative at 515-281-3221 or your Senator 515-281-3371.

It is the ICA’s hope that everyone calling on the 18th of January will have an impact on the legislators. The switchboards are open 24 hours a day, you will be asked your name, address and phone number so the legislator can contact you if they chose. The phone number for the House of Representatives switchboard is 515-281-3221. The phone number for the Senate switchboard is 515-281-3371. These switchboards are maintained 24 hours a day so anyone who needs to could call the night before.

It is import for all of us to follow through with making the call! One way to stop all the current cuts in Fish and wild life funding in the State of Iowa is to support this action. For example, the cost of one "crank bait" $5 per license would make a huge difference with supporting the outdoor activities we all enjoy.
If we don't do anything else this Thursday January 18th please make the calls!

Thanks, Tim
