Voters in Alaska have twice restricted aerial hunting by passing state ballot
measures, only to have their efforts overturned by the Alaska legislature.
More than 56,000 Alaskans signed a petition to put aerial hunting of wolves
and bears to a vote again on the ballot this August 26th.
Does your proposed legislation on this issue, now being aggressively
pushed by some state legislators, intend to take away the opportunity for
Alaskans to vote on this ballot measure?
In your campaign for Governor, you pledged to listen to the voices of
Alaskans and promised open government.
Alaskans want to know if your
legislation is intended to silence us.

Alaska's Wolves
Urgently Need Your Support!
 For the third time, Alaskans will be voting to ban aerial wolf killing. The vote on this initiative is less than 6 months away. The Alaska Wildlife Alliance will be fighting an uphill battle against super-funded trophy hunting interests such as the Alaska Outdoor Council and Safari Club International. On top of that, at Governor Sarah Palin's request, $400,000 of Alaska's public money was given to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for an educational (propaganda!) campaign designed to promote aerial wolf killing.
We need significant financial support to counter these super-rich special interest groups. Your generous donation will help AWA launch an informational campaign to pass this initiative and protect Alaska's wolves from the barbaric and unscientific practice of allowing hunters to shoot from planes.
You can help AWA provide a voice for Alaska's wolves!
The vast majority of Alaskans and visitors support the nonconsumptive uses of wildlife, such as photography, research and viewing.
Don't let the deep pockets of rich trophy hunters defeat the will of the majority of Alaskans and visitors. We simply cannot allow these narrowly focused special interests to silence the howls of Alaska's wolves!
Watch The Truth About Aerial Hunting of Wolves in Alaska
**Note: Aerial hunting of bears in Alaska has been authorized. If passed, this initiative will protect bears from aerial hunters as well!
