Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt.
As most of you are probably aware the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) has made the decision to: “Save the Habitat. Save the Hunt.”
At least it should be known that the NWTF isn’t going to stand by and continue to watch our resources dwindle until its too late to reverse things. It’s a well known fact that Habitat is being lost at an alarming rate and hunters numbers are declining nationally as well as turkey numbers are starting to slide.
The NWTF has many weapons to combat these issues but none can be successful without our great committees who host fundraisers and banquets throughout Missouri.
The simplest way each of us can help is to sign up kids 17 and under into the JAKES Program. This will get more kids and families involved and at least give a positive reflection of the NWTF and information into the homes of these new young members about what the NWTF does and what we stand for.
The local Chapter, The Crowley's Ridge Limbhangers, has made it a goal to sign up at least 100 kids. They will gather chidren's names and addresses now and submit them with the local Chapters Banquet to be held in Dexter on Friday, June 20th at the Eagles Lodge. Some of our Chapters are signing up 400 or more kids and getting many more people involved. It’s a Win Win.
Many of us aren’t personally involved in Habitat work unless its on our own property but the NWTF experts out there looking for opportunities to create and improve habitat and also looking for new areas to access or open up for public use. Where the local Chapters can really shine is recruiting the kids and new hunters, young or old, male or female, through mentoring, WITO and JAKES events.
No one else has the Outreach the NWTF has nor the people power to execute it as we do. IT IS UP TO US and I don’t want to ever look back and say, “I wish I had done more”.
WE are doing this for the GREATER GOOD and for those youngsters not even born so they may one day hear the thunderous gobble of the wild turkey and see the beautiful sunrise through the strutting tail fan of an approaching longbeard.
The TIME IS NOW and it’s the future of the hunt that’s at stake here and We have the power to make things better and leave things better than they were when some of us were young and new to hunting. I thank you all for everything that you do.
Sincerely,
Larry

Thank you. Thank you for all your help and support. What you have done has helped to make Missouri better. We have done this by increasing our Republican strength statewide - by showing people that energy and commitment to principle can make a difference. Thank you.
So many of our Republican successes - from the historic win in the special House election to the jam-packed June BBQ in Columbia to the nationally noticed Midwest Republican Leadership Conference in Kansas City to countless small meetings and contacts with new voters - these are the fruit of your support.
For too many of us, our personal budgets are stretched thin by higher costs and lower pay. At the Party, we run lean because we act like every dollar we spend is precious. Still, we need to raise funds to get our message in front of the voters! And so, I have to ask for your help yet again.
Today, we launched a very special grassroots program called the Mighty Mo Victory Crew - it is designed to raise funds AND to hold the Party accountable through transparency and clear spending. No more backroom efforts like the past. We need to grow the party from the bottom up by earning trust.
Please Join the Crew! By joining the crew for just $8.25 per month or $99 per year, your contribution will allow us improve our voter database; allowing us to move rapidly develop technology including an MRP mobile app, and build communities to assist in electing candidates statewide.
Your membership entitles you to certain benefits. Those benefits include; being removed from both email and phone donation solicitation efforts by the Missouri Republican Party, the opportunity to join Chairman Martin and a special guest on a quarterly conference call to receive updates on the Party and finally the opportunity to attend a special crew member only event at Statewide Lincoln Days in February 2014.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. I leave you with my commitment that very dollar contributed will be spent with a single goal - to win and grow this Party for success on the Statewide level in 2014 and beyond.
I appreciate your continued support.
In Victory,
Ed Martin
Chairman, Missouri Republican Party
P.S. - You can make an online donation right now at Mighty Mo Victory Crew. We only have 68 days to reach our goal our 1000 crewmembers before 2014. Join today.
