If you care about clean water, clean air, and sporting opportunities, then you are MORE than qualified to attend Conservation Lobby Day 2009! BUT, we know some folks like to get the inside track on the Priority Issues and what the buzz is in the Capitol.
That's why we're hosting a 1-hour statewide conference call on the Priority Issues. Like last year's call, participants will have a chance to discuss the Priority Issues and ask questions prior to Lobby Day on February 25th.
This year, the conservation community will be fighting to Preserve Groundwater, Stop Global Warming, Restore Conservation Integrity, and Protect Drinking Water.
The conference call will be held from 5-6 pm on Wednesday, January 21st.
We welcome everyone to call-in, BUT, we do have a limit on the number of people that can join the call, so please RSVP by clicking here. Once you RSVP, we'll send you the call-in number and agenda.
Conservation Priority in the News: Independent DNR Secretary
Last week, a Conservation Priority made headlines, but it wasn't good news.
Since 1995, citizens like YOU have been calling for a return to an Independent DNR Secretary in order to keep politics out of natural resource decision-making.
But last week, Gov. Doyle's spokesperson announced that Doyle was rethinking his position of support for an Indpendent DNR Secretary.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel quoted Doyle's spokesperson as saying, 'We have to re-evaluate and rethink, really carefully, about decreasing the authority of (the) governor.'
This is bad news if you hunt, fish, hike, or bike.
To pass this Conservation Priority, it's going to take a showing of support like never before. So if you haven't yet, sign up for Conservation Lobby Day today!
Join us on February 25th and make sure your legislators and the Governor know you support an Independent DNR Secretary.
If you would like to submit a letter-to-the-editor letting the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel why you support an Independent DNR Secretary, click here. (200 word limit)Thank you for all your conservation efforts!
