For over 30 years the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) has been defending sportsmen’s rights and our record of success speaks for itself. But as we always say: we couldn’t do it without your commitment. YOU are the reason we win battles against radical animal rights groups like PETA and the Humane Society of the United States. Beginning in 2010, the USSA will be unveiling a new effort we call the “Sentry Program.” While the final details of the program are still being worked out,
the idea is to offer our current members as well as future members something more and make sure that those who decide to become “Sentries” understand how special they are.
If you think about it, sentries have served a powerful role throughout history, standing along guard towers to defend their cities and their way of life. Being a sentry was not always easy, they were always the first in line to do battle with the attacking enemy. Yet, it was their strength of character, honor and perseverance that showed through each and every time they were called upon to throw back an assault.
For sportsmen in the 21st century, there could not be a better description of what is needed from you now. We face more challenges than ever as the population of sportsmen begins to decline, the sophistication and effectiveness of our opponents grows and the day to day experiences of modern life seem to disconnect us further than ever from nature. If we don’t act now, our way of life will end within a couple of generations.
So who will help stand along the new guard tower? Who will defend the heritage and guard the future? It will be the new “Sentries” who take a stand now. Will you be one?
Check out the USSA website in January for more details on this exciting and essential new program and learn how to be a “Sentry.”
