    Default Well We Won So Far On The Lead Ban


    Here is the email I got 2 days ago and want to just share the news with any of you that didn't hear this yet. Sorry to be a bit slow, just been covered up lately.

    Skip
    Thanks to your help, on Thursday, November 4, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rejected the petition to ban lead in all fishing tackle.

    The EPA and Members of Congress received more than 43,000 messages from anglers just like you opposing a federal ban on lead in fishing tackle. Your voice was heard and had a direct impact on the EPA’s decision.

    Despite the good news, the fight is not over! There is still work to be done and we can’t do it without your help.

    Donate now to help KeepAmericaFishing™ keep the EPA out of fishing.

    Legislation recently introduced in Congress will ensure future efforts to ban lead in fishing tackle are based on scientific fact, not guess work or unproven claims. If this legislation fails to pass, the costs of sinkers, jigs and other fishing tackle will significantly increase.

    Donate now to help KeepAmericaFishing advocate and preserve your right to fish on our public waters.

    Your contribution will directly support KeepAmericaFishing’s efforts to keep our nation's waters open, clean, and abundant with fish now and for generations to come.

    Thank you for sharing your voice.

    Here’s to tight lines!

    I tell you some people are so gullable! The jest of the e-mail was stated in the middle. "DONATE NOW"! The EPA stated all along that they wasn't banning the lead in shells and fishing equipment. EB

    This BS was started to get people worked up and cause a ruckus, which it did. The EPA said all along that they had no intention of banning lead in shells or fishing tackle. The EPA is a very much needed agency with the government. They keep the unscrupulus(sp) Corps and people in check. EB
