CFM Seeks Funding to Help Maintain to Governor's Veto

The Conservation Federation of Missouri has exhausted significant amounts of time, energy and expense leading the fight to stop the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in Missouri, and to help stop the Missouri General Assembly from stripping control of wildlife authority from the Missouri Department of Conservation.

This week, a direct mail postcard will be delivered in the mailboxes of just more than 120,000 Missouri deer-hunter households. This direct mail initiative was quite expensive. Even with the help of our generous partner organizations, CFM is still holding a big bill. The time has come to ask the public deer hunters of our state to help us help them. More than 520,000 Missourians hold a deer hunting licenses. If just 1 percent donate $10 to our fight, we will have the funds necessary to continue effectively fighting the captive deer transfer bills through the veto override session this September.

We need your help. Would you please spend 2 minutes to donate $10, and then post the below message to your Facebook page challenging five friends to do the same. Don't forget to tag your five friends in the post.

The white-tailed deer we all love cannot protect themselves. We are conservationists. We must protect the wildlife of Missouri.
