SCI attempt to reverse airline ban- PLEASE PARTICIPATE

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

I completed the letters a couple of days ago. I also forwarded it to our SCI chapter President and asked him to send it to the 200 members in our chapter and request they complete it also.

Done, and sent to three friends who will hopefully pile on.

Definitely worth a shot!

Folks,

I just noticed letters to Canadian carriers AirCanada and WestJet have been added.

Let's all send a few more letters, to Canada this time.

Larry,

They've been added to the huntforever.org page at the link in your OP.

It would be great if you could edit/update the subject line of this thread to reflect the additions.

I would also like to take this opportunity to point out the fact that you do not have to be an SCI member to participate in this campaign.

We need MORE people to participate.

I e mailed the incoming president about lack of an e mail form SCI. I got one today regarding this matter. Hopefully, it has gone to all members.

No, it has not gone to all members. I'm paid through 2017 and I haven't seen anything. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate what they've done here, and their attorneys seemed very proactive in gathering my statements regarding the impact of USFWS's ban on ivory imports from Zim, but how hard can it be to send a notification to all members? Their response to my inquiry regarding this very question is pathetic.

Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if
you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on
the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the
day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely
killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed
because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always
recapture the day - Robert Ruark

Larry - I have seen nothing from SCI on this by way of email. Had you not posted this here, likely most wouldn't have seen it. They do have something posted about it on their website, but I rarely (if ever) look at it and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

I signed each of the airline letters, and I am going to make an email "blast" today to our client list and request they sign them too.

Thanks for posting,

Greg

I got he following e mail yesterday. I can't say why I got it and others didn't. I am like you Greg, I never look at their website. I am reluctant to contact Paul again. He is in the investment business. Times are a bit turbulent these days.

Here is what I received:

I get an email such as this from SCI on a regular basis. Not sure why others do not.

Greg Brownlee and nhoro - Call SCI and speak to someone in membership. I had to do that to get included on their email list.

I think you have to subscribe and you don't have to be a member to do so.
