On Nov. 8, our country heads to the polls to elect the local, state and national leadership that will shape our political direction. In this crucial election, the Sportsmen’s Alliance urges all sportsmen to get to the ballot box and vote through our national Sportsmen Vote initiative.
Sportsmen can proudly display the importance of their vote while also challenging others to exercise their civic duty, by buying and displaying our new Real Hunters, Real Anglers and Real Trappers Vote decals. Politicians understand that sportsmen are a powerful force, but we need to be seen and heard in full force. Ordering, displaying and distributing our Sportsmen Vote stickers will tell everyone you’re a proud hunter, angler or trapper.
Engaging new voters through social media is another feature of the Sportsmen Vote initiative. We are urging everyone to take pictures of their stickers and post them to social media. Additionally, using the hashtags #realhuntersvote, #realanglersvote and #realtrappersvote will help spread the word. This is grassroots advocacy for the current generation.
Our vote is our voice, and the choices sportsmen make in November will have long-lasting effects. The next piece of this initiative is through the Sportsmen’s Alliance partnership with the National Shooting Sports Foundation’s #GUNVOTE campaign. With a mouse click, sportsmen can register to vote, search for candidates and find their polling place. It’s a powerful connection all sportsmen must utilize.
We stand at a political crossroads, with many important decisions facing our nation. We urge you, your local sportsmen’s clubs and businesses to support the national Sportsmen Vote initiative. With the future of our outdoor heritage at stake, complacency is not an option. Order stickers for every club member, friend and sportsman you know – awaken a grassroots movement among sportsmen by asking them to become Sportsmen’s Alliance members and encourage each and every license buying person you know to vote in November. After all, it’s our Heritage. Our fight!
