My name is Jason Miller. I'm the recently appointed North Central US
Regional Director of the newly formed Global Anti-Hunting Coalition (G.A.H.C),
the brainchild of Anthony Marr, the world-renowned wildlife defender and
president of Heal Our Planet Earth (H.O.P.E.) at http://www.all-creatures.org/hope/
.

In March, Anthony will embark upon his 36-states-in-6-months Compassion for
Animals Road Expedition #7 (CARE-7)

We have very little time to organize this major endeavor, so we are asking for
lodging for Anthony as he travels and support for protests, rallies and speaking
engagements along his route. One action we strongly suggest is the Funeral
Motorcade for the Deer (or whichever animal you and your group wishes to
champion), which never fails to attract media attention in areas where it hasn't
been done previously. (See an example below).
All groups and individuals
opposed to hunting, trapping, and culling (including recreational hunting,
trophy hunting, whaling, dolphin slaughter, seal massacre, wildlife population
reductions, the illegal wildlife trade, the fur industry, etc.) can become part
of this newly formed coalition, which has the capacity to significantly
strengthen any local campaign by bringing the attention, people, resources, and
pressure of our growing network of allies to bear on animal exploiters,
torturers, and murderers. On December 9, 2009, with barely a week's notice and
with little backing behind us, we made a sizeable impact at Shawnee Mission Park
in Kansas City by means of the Funeral Motorcade for the Deer, which garnered
coverage by at least 2 TV channels, 2 newspapers and 2 radio stations.

I know that with your support we can accomplish great things in the
defense of wildlife around the world, including where you live. Our strength and
numbers are growing by leaps and bounds.
We would be honored to have you join us!
