ALASKA|NNP EMERGENCY|NN 
Dear|RB Defender|NN ,|, 

Look|VBP closely|RB at|IN this|DT photo|NN ,|, and|CC you|PRP ’|NN ll|MD see|VB a|DT wolf|NN ...|. running|VBG .|. 
Soon|RB this|DT wolf|NN wo|MD n’t|RB be|VB merely|RB running|VBG in|IN the|DT snow|NN .|. 

This|DT wolf|NN will|MD be|VB running|VBG for|IN its|PRP$ life|NN !|. 

The|DT airplane|NN above|JJ will|MD be|VB tracking|VBG her|PRP ...|. in|IN order|NN to|TO land|VB and|CC immediately|RB gun|VB her|PRP$ down|RP .|. 

You|PRP see|VBP ,|, the|DT Alaska|NNP legislature|NN passed|VBD a|DT law|NN that|IN once|RB again|RB allows|VBZ any|DT private|JJ citizen|NN with|IN just|RB a|DT $15|NN trapping|NN or|CC $25|NN hunting|NN license|NN to|TO track|VB wolves|NNS by|IN aircraft|NN and|CC then|RB land|VB and|CC gun|VB them|PRP down|RP .|. 
This|DT cruel|JJ ,|, unethical|JJ wolf|NN -|: hunting|NN practice|NN is|VBZ called|VBN “|NN same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB .|. ”|NN 

It|PRP was|VBD a|DT total|JJ shock|NN and|CC surprise|NN .|. 

In|IN May|NNP the|DT Alaska|NNP legislature|NN voted|VBD to|TO reinstate|VB same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ wolf|NN killing|NN .|. 
Frankly|RB ,|, we|PRP never|RB thought|VBD Alaska|NNP ’s|POS anti|JJ -|: wolf|NN politicians|NNS would|MD go|VB this|DT far|RB .|. 
But|CC they|PRP did|VBD ,|, overriding|VBG Governor|NNP Tony|NNP Knowles|NNP ’|NN veto|NN —|NN and|CC ignoring|VBG the|DT will|NN of|IN the|DT majority|NN of|IN Alaska|NNP ’s|POS citizens|NNS .|. 

Unfortunately|RB ,|, this|DT practice|NN will|MD begin|VB after|IN the|DT first|JJ snow|NN ...|... this|DT September|NNP ...|... when|WRB wolves|NNS will|MD be|VB “|NN ca|MD n’t|RB -|: miss|VB ”|NN targets|NNS against|IN Alaska|NNP ’s|POS snowy|JJ terrain|NN .|. 
Wolves|NNS can|MD run|VB fast|RB —|NN but|CC they|PRP certainly|RB ca|MD n’t|RB outrun|VB airplanes|NNS .|. 

Given|VBN the|DT urgency|NN of|IN the|DT situation|NN in|IN Alaska|NNP ,|, Defenders|NNP needs|VBZ your|PRP$ immediate|JJ assistance|NN to|TO help|VB save|VB Alaska|NNP ’s|POS wolves|NNS from|IN same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB slaughter|NN .|. 

Support|VBP the|DT Emergency|NNP Effort|NNP to|TO Save|NNP Alaska|NNP ’s|POS Wolves|NNPS .|. 

Defenders|NNP hopes|VBZ to|TO raise|VB at|IN least|JJS $100,000|NN to|TO help|VB Alaskans|NNP For|IN Wildlife|NNP ,|, a|DT coalition|NN of|IN Alaska|NNP citizens|NNS ,|, win|VBP a|DT citizens|NNS ’|POS ballot|NN initiative|NN this|DT November|NNP .|. 
And|CC we|PRP face|VBP very|RB wealthy|JJ opponents|NNS .|. 
So|CC today|RB ,|, I|PRP urge|VBP you|PRP to|TO do|VB these|DT two|CD things|NNS :|: 
FIRST|LS :|: Sign|VBP the|DT enclosed|JJ Citizens|NNPS ’|POS Advisory|NNP Ballot|NN to|TO show|VB our|PRP$ Alaska|NNP allies|NNS your|PRP$ strong|JJ personal|JJ support|NN to|TO reinstate|VB the|DT ban|NN on|IN “|NN same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB ”|NN wolf|NN killing|NN in|IN Alaska|NNP ;|: 
SECOND|LS :|: Rush|VBP an|DT urgent|JJ donation|NN to|TO help|VB put|VB this|DT measure|NN on|IN the|DT ballot|NN and|CC win|VB passage|NN in|IN November|NNP .|. 

The|DT Alaska|NNP Legislature|NNP is|VBZ completely|RB out|IN of|IN step|NN with|IN the|DT will|NN of|IN Alaska|NNP ’s|POS citizens|NNS and|CC the|DT American|JJ public|NN at|IN large|JJ .|. 

Like|IN you|PRP ,|, the|DT majority|NN of|IN Alaskans|NNP oppose|VBP same|JJ -|: day|NN land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB wolf|NN killing|NN .|. 
But|CC the|DT anti|JJ -|: wolf|NN politicians|NNS in|IN the|DT Alaska|NNP legislature|NN do|VBP n’t|RB care|VB what|WP the|DT majority|NN of|IN Alaska|NNP citizens|NNS want|VBP .|. 
And|CC they|PRP did|VBD n’t|RB listen|VB to|IN the|DT recommendations|NNS of|IN the|DT Alaska|NNP Department|NNP of|IN Fish|NN and|CC Game|NNP ,|, which|WDT opposed|VBD this|DT legislation|NN !|. 

They|PRP are|VBP utterly|RB out|IN of|IN step|NN with|IN their|PRP$ Alaska|NNP constituents|NNS ...|... the|DT state|NN agency|NN that|WDT manages|VBZ Alaska|NNP wildlife|NN ...|... and|CC the|DT rest|NN of|IN the|DT American|JJ public|NN !|. 

In|IN the|DT name|NN of|IN “|NN wolf|NN control|NN ,|, ”|NN wolf|NN killers|NNS will|MD predictably|RB once|RB again|RB use|VB aircraft|NN to|TO hunt|VB wolves|NNS to|IN the|DT point|NN of|IN exhaustion|NN ,|, so|IN that|IN the|DT wolves|NNS have|VBP ,|, literally|RB ,|, no|DT chance|NN of|IN survival|NN .|. 

And|CC if|IN history|NN is|VBZ any|DT guide|NN ,|, over|IN the|DT years|NNS thousands|NNS of|IN Alaska|NNP ’s|POS wolves|NNS will|MD be|VB brutally|RB killed|VBN .|. 

Before|IN the|DT 1996|CD ban|NN on|IN same|JJ -|: day|NN land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB ,|, as|RB many|JJ as|IN 400|CD wolves|NNS were|VBD killed|VBN in|IN Alaska|NNP each|DT year|NN because|IN of|IN this|DT barbaric|JJ and|CC unethical|JJ practice|NN .|. 

Anti|JJ -|: wolf|NN interests|NNS are|VBP prepared|VBN to|TO spend|VB hundreds|NNS of|IN thousands|NNS of|IN dollars|NNS to|TO make|VB sure|JJ that|IN the|DT new|JJ land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB law|NN stands|VBZ —|NN even|RB though|IN most|JJS Alaskans|NNPS do|VBP not|RB support|VB it|PRP .|. 

So|RB if|IN we|PRP do|VBP n’t|RB act|VB right|RB now|RB ,|, Alaska|NNP ’s|POS snowy|JJ tundras|NNS will|MD once|RB again|RB become|VB bloody|JJ killing|NN fields|NNS for|IN wolves|NNS in|IN America|NNP ’s|POS “|NN Last|JJ Frontier|NN .|. ”|NN 

Say|VBP “|NN NO|UH ”|NN to|TO the|DT barbaric|JJ practice|NN of|IN same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ wolf|NN killing|NN .|. 

The|DT only|JJ way|NN Alaskans|NNPS can|MD repeal|VB the|DT new|JJ law|NN and|CC reinstate|VB the|DT ban|NN on|IN same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB wolf|NN killing|NN is|VBZ with|IN a|DT Citizens|NNPS ’|POS Referendum|NNP .|. 

That|DT ’|NN s|VBZ why|WRB your|PRP$ special|JJ financial|JJ support|NN is|VBZ so|RB important|JJ —|NN and|CC urgently|RB needed|VBN .|. 

Alaska|NNP wolf|NN advocates|NNS need|VBP your|PRP$ immediate|JJ support|NN to|TO save|VB wolves|NNS .|. 

As|IN I|PRP mentioned|VBD ,|, this|DT new|JJ same|JJ -|: day|NN airborne|JJ land|VB -|: and|CC -|: shoot|VB practice|NN will|MD start|VB in|IN September|NNP after|IN the|DT opening|NN of|IN hunting|NN season|NN and|CC the|DT first|JJ snow|NN —|NN and|CC when|WRB wolves|NNS will|MD be|VB an|DT easy|JJ target|NN .|. 

To|TO repeal|VB this|DT unconscionable|JJ law|NN ,|, Defenders|NNP must|MD help|VB provide|VB our|PRP$ friends|NNS in|IN Alaska|NNP --|: Alaskans|NNPS For|IN Wildlife|NNP —|NN with|IN the|DT resources|NNS necessary|JJ to|TO win|VB at|IN the|DT polls|NNS in|IN November|NNP .|. 

Our|PRP$ well|RB -|: funded|JJ opponents|NNS will|MD spend|VB whatever|WDT it|PRP takes|VBZ to|TO mislead|VB and|CC confuse|VB voters|NNS about|IN this|DT ballot|NN measure|NN .|. 
We|PRP need|VBP help|NN to|TO supplement|VB the|DT funds|NNS raised|VBN by|IN Alaskans|NNPS For|IN Wildlife|NNP for|IN careful|JJ polling|NN ,|, the|DT development|NN of|IN voter|NN education|NN spots|NNS for|IN television|NN ,|, radio|NN and|CC newspapers|NNS ,|, the|DT placement|NN of|IN those|DT ads|NNS ,|, and|CC “|NN get|VB -|: out|RP -|: the|DT -|: vote|NN ”|NN efforts|NNS on|IN election|NN day|NN .|. 

If|IN Alaska|NNP ’s|POS new|JJ law|NN is|VBZ not|RB replaced|VBN ,|, thousands|NNS of|IN Alaska|NNP 's|POS wolves|NNS will|MD die|VB in|IN the|DT years|NNS to|TO come|VB .|. 

And|CC it|PRP will|MD be|VB a|DT major|JJ setback|NN for|IN wolves|NNS nationwide|JJ —|NN at|IN a|DT time|NN when|WRB the|DT American|JJ public|JJ overwhelmingly|RB favors|VBZ wolf|NN reintroduction|NN and|CC protection|NN .|. 
A|DT loss|NN will|MD encourage|VB those|DT anti|JJ -|: wolf|NN fanatics|NNS who|WP want|VBP to|TO stop|VB wolf|NN restoration|NN and|CC put|VB bounties|NNS on|IN those|DT wolves|NNS already|RB in|IN the|DT wild|JJ .|. 

So|CC ,|, please|RB do|VBP n’t|RB wait|VB another|DT minute|NN .|. 

Please|RB sign|VBP your|PRP$ Citizens|NNPS ’|NN Advisory|NNP Ballot|NN to|TO demonstrate|VB to|IN our|PRP$ Alaska|NNP allies|NNS that|IN you|PRP ’|NN re|VBP behind|IN them|PRP ;|: and|CC send|VBP an|DT urgent|JJ donation|NN today|RB to|TO help|VB them|PRP win|VB this|DT effort|NN .|. 

So|CC how|WRB will|MD your|PRP$ money|NN be|VB spent|VBN ?|.

$35,000|NN —|NN in|IN -|: depth|NN ,|, state|NN -|: wide|JJ survey|NN conducted|VBN by|IN a|DT top|JJ pollster|NN to|TO determine|VB voters|NNS ’|POS positions|NNS on|IN the|DT ballot|NN measure|NN and|CC arguments|NNS that|WDT will|MD help|VB persuade|VB undecided|JJ voters|NNS .|. 

$45,000|NN —|NN salaries|NNS /|NN office|NN expenses|NNS for|IN staff|NN to|TO oversee|VB the|DT effort|NN between|IN now|RB and|CC election|NN day|NN .|.

Your|PRP$ special|JJ donation|NN today|RB is|VBZ absolutely|RB critical|JJ ,|, because|IN many|JJ of|IN Alaska|NNP ’s|POS politicians|NNS clearly|RB have|VBP anti|JJ -|: wolf|NN agendas|NNS .|. 
They|PRP have|VBP the|DT financial|JJ backing|NN of|IN powerful|JJ special|JJ interests|NNS and|CC the|DT determination|NN to|TO ignore|VB the|DT will|NN of|IN the|DT people|NNS of|IN Alaska|NNP and|CC the|DT American|JJ public|NN .|.
