76% of Sportsmen Say They Prefer To Elect a President Who Hunts or Fishes

 

 

New Research Citation, Entered on 9/2/2008; Original Item from 2008

 

 

 

 

A large majority (83%) of "sportsmen" (hunters and anglers) say they will vote in the November 2008 U.S. presidential election, according to the lobbyist group, the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. Nearly half of hunters and anglers (45%) are likely to vote for John McCain and 31% are likely to vote for Barack Obama. By a 2 to 1 margin, sportsmen said that McCain would be a better president on related issues than Obama.

Where My Army At?

 

 

New Blog Entry, HRC-Authored, Entered on 8/31/2008

 

 

 

 

Is grassroots animal activism still relevant in the United States? Does a grassroots movement even exist anymore? For a cause like animal advocacy, which has yet to reach mainstream proportions, an "army" of committed volunteers is essential for positive momentum. For the animal protection to be successful in the long-term, we will need to rebuild our grassroots organizations and networks and develop closer relationships between local and national groups. Here are five ideas to do just that.
