CWA ACTION ALERT
From: Bill Gaines, Director of Government Affairs
Mark Hennelly, Deputy Director of Government Affairs
Subject: Confirmation of Marilyn Hendrickson
California Fish and Game Commission
Date: February 2, 2005
CWA needs your help in countering a campaign by animal-rights and environmental groups seeking to deny State Senate confirmation of Marilyn Hendrickson as a member of the California Fish and Game Commission.
Last March, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed Marilyn Hendrickson to a six year term on the California Fish and Game Commission - the important State regulatory body responsible for setting all fishing and hunting regulations. In order to hold this seat for the full 6 year term, her appointment must be confirmed by the State Senate within the first 12 months - i.e. by mid-March, 2005. Thus, in order to remain on the Commission, Ms. Hendrickson must be confirmed by the Senate within the next six weeks. A hearing date has not yet been scheduled by the Senate Rules Committee, but should be set shortly.
Since her appointment, Ms. Hendrickson has not only demonstrated an excellent understanding of often complex fish and game resource issues, but she has also proven to be a staunch ally of the sporting community. In fact, she has been such a strong ally that many environmental and animal-rights groups are now actively campaigning to deny her Senate confirmation. We must immediately counter this campaign with letters of support if we are to maintain Ms. Hendrickson's knowledge and leadership on the Commission. Please contact members of the Senate Rules Committee (listed below) immediately and urge them to actively support the confirmation of Marilyn Hendrickson as a member of the Fish and Game Commission. For your convenience, a sample letter is available.
