National Program Reduced Barriers, Created Opportunities for Newcomers

The future of hunting is brighter today than it was nearly a decade ago thanks to the extraordinary success of Families Afield, an innovative program that has introduced 1 million newcomers to hunting.

This impressive number demonstrates that interest in hunting remains high, and that what\’s needed to spark a lifelong passion for hunting is a proper introduction enabled by state regulations. With success in hand, Families Afield\’s call to action is this: If your state offers an apprentice hunting license, make it a point to bring a newcomer along this hunting season; or if you\’ve never gone hunting before, seek out a mentor and give it a try.

BY ARCHBISHOP CHARLES CHAPUT

Two years ago this week (September 8), I began my service here in Philadelphia as archbishop. Two years from now, this same week, we’ll be in the final stages of preparing for the eighth World Meeting of Families (September 22-27). It’s a good moment to pause and reflect.

TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON CAUSE
Volume XVIII No. 36: September 6, 2013

Next week, vacation’s over and Congress has to go back to work. Even without the Syria showdown, they’ve got some pressing issues to handle. Zero of the 12 spending bills that fund government have been passed, meaning a shutdown looms at the end of this month. That pesky debt ceiling will be hit by mid-October. And lawmakers are chomping at the bit to do something on tax reform, the farm bill, and immigration. But the emergence of must-pass legislation and potentially broad bipartisan measures also means the resurgence of another perennial legislative annoyance: the temporary tax extender.
