I just received this in an email this AM. It look like the Mossback crew is now starting with the lies on the tag grab Bill. Here is the email in it's entirety:
:
Please support this bill for the future of Arizona wildlife. If you have any questions about the bill call me or go to arizonasportsmenforwildlife.org. Read Jim's letter below and he shows you how you can reach out to our House of Representatives and Governor Brewer's office. It only takes a few minutes...
Thank for your help,

Friends,
I am sorry to interrupt your busy life with a special request. This is not some virus that hacked into my email list. I am only sending this to people that I consider my friends. I am asking for your help with the support of House Bill 2072 which will help secure long term funding to make sure that our wildlife are protected for the future generations. This bill creates a much needed firewall to ensure the protection of Arizona's wildlife.
It will help if Governor Brewer's office, and our House of Representatives were to hear from as many people as possible in support of this bill. Please send an e-mail and feel free to ask friends and relatives to contact them as well. I have included some talking points to use in your e-mail, but your letter needs to be in your own words!!. It does not need to be long, it just needs to communicate your support. It can be as simple as "I care about wildlife and support HB 2072".
There is a very vocal minority that is trying to oppose this bill. We need to be more vocal and let those in charge know that we support HB2072 and how passionate we are about protecting Arizona's wildlife.
Attached are all the email addresses in a word document that you can copy and paste directly into your BCC field on your e-mail. PLEASE SEND IT AS A BLIND COPY. That way each recipient cannot see who else it is being sent to. It should be received as a personal e-mail and not read as just a form letter with a massive distribution list. When you send the email to these people, I will also get a copy because I have included my name in the list.
Thank you in advance for your help. This is an important issue to me. Please do not wait. Send your supporting e-mail today.
Thank you!

Dear Representative,
HB 2072 is good for Arizona, good for wildlife, good for youth and good for sportsmen.
· The proposed sportsmen’s expo will be a $25 million dollar annual economic / tourism driver to our state at a time when we need to help our economy.
· Our wildlife herds are steadily declining and more money is needed to offset issues related to the decline- revenue from the tags will help rebuild our herds
· There is not enough money to deal with the public lands access problem which is ever increasing - We need the additional revenues that will be generated by this legislation
· The department needs more money for youth recruitment- this is the future of our Game and Fish Department
· The auctioning of tags is not commercialization of wildlife. If so, then the department has already commercialized it with their existing special tags program.
· The number of tags is not have a statistically significant affect a sportsmen’s ability to get drawn – one tag out of one hunt unit has a negligible impact. There are only 54 auction tags; the remainder are draw tags. The additional venue for raffling the tags will give sportsmen additional opportunities to be successfully drawn.
· The department currently pays for tags to be sent out of state to help other out of state sportsmen’s banquets be successful; these tags need to stay in Arizona and be an economic draw for Arizona's economy
· Earlier criticisms of the bill are no longer valid as solutions to fix the concerns have been identified and will be added to the bill
· The criticisms about it benefitting only the rich man is ridiculous. The wildlife and the state of Arizona are the ones who benefit. All of Arizona's sportsmen will benefit. Most of the habitat projects in this state would not be done if not for the current limited special programs
