Ducks Unlimited Supports Resolution Honoring North America’s Sportsmen
MEMPHIS, TN, September 17, 2003 – Ducks Unlimited recently joined forces with the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation and forty-two other organizations in an effort to gain congressional support for America’s sportsmen.
In a letter to the Honorable Richard Pombo and the Honorable Nick J. Rahall, Chairman and Ranking Member of the House Committee on Resources, respectively, the coalition of outdoor-oriented groups voiced their support of H. Res. 362, a resolution recognizing the importance and contributions of sportsmen and women to American society and our nation’s economy.
“Ducks Unlimited is proud to support this resolution. DU was founded by sportsmen more than 66 years ago, and sportsmen have always played an integral role not only in DU’s conservation work, but in conservation efforts across the continent,” says Don Young, DU’s Executive Vice President.
The organizations’ letter points out that in the United States alone, sportsmen annually contribute $1.7 billion for conservation programs through license fees, tags, stamps, and excise taxes on sporting equipment. “The total economic contribution of sportsmen amounts to $70 billion annually, with a ripple effect amounting to $179 billion per year. To put this in context,” the letters reads, “if sportsmen were a corporation, they would rank #11 on the Fortune 500 list.”
The forty-four organizations that signed the letter asked that the resolution be passed in time for National Hunting and Fishing Day on September 27th. To view a copy of the letter, click here. To view a copy of the proposed resolution, click here.
