Subject: Companies that support Greenies!!!
Body: Do you love Tellico? Apparently Cabelas does not, or any other 4x4/ATV trail for that matter!

E-mail them and tell them what you think!

This was sent to me today:

The following was emailed to Cabela's Customer Service this AM. Urge everyone to do same. Check the TU corporate sponsorhip site and hit every one on the list.

I have been a longtime customer of Cabela's. My vehicle right now has Cabela's seat covers on it, proudly proclaiming the Cabela's name. Now I discover that Cabela's is supporting Trout Unlimited as a corporate sponsor (according to the TU website). TU is trying to sue the USFS into closing the OHV trails at Tellico, in the Nantahala National Forest.

Cabela's needs to tell TU that unless it drops its support for trying to close me out of my own National Forest, the 4X4 and ATV community will begin its boycott of Cabelas. From this point forward, my Cabela's seat covers in my truck will have the Cabela's name removed, and I will not purchase anything else from Cabela's until they publicly denounce the actions of Trout Unlimited.

The only thing these Philadelphia lawyers understand is $$. So lets start putting it in terms of $$ for them. Someone needs to stir this on the ATV sites - Cabela's sells LOTS of ATV stuff.

I did a little research, and found the following companies also. I also listed how much they donate of your purchase to TU.

Here is the link to the TU site: http://www.tu.org/site/c.kkLRJ7MSKtH/b.3094327/

Cabelas - 7%
Barnes & Noble - 5%
Under Armour - 7%
Adventure Advocates - Member discounts
Orvis mail order - 5%
Chase Bank - Donation
Chef's Preference - 10%
All Terrain - 10%
Patagonia - 7%

Phew, thankfully Im not a yuppie so most of this doesn't affect me.
 
Look at this to http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/community/aboutus/conservation.jsp?auPage=conservpart

Do you want Cabelas to drop being part of these organizations, like http://www.treadlightly.org/ and so on.
I was in TU for some time and not now but this has nothing to do with it.... Look at the big picture, at all the good things that Cabelas does and talk to some of the people in the stores if you get the chance to.
If you think that your email will do anything, good for you, go for it, but it would be better to take a better approach, or show up at the store in force and talk to the people there.
If I got that email that started with "Companies that support Greenies!!!" it would go in the trash if I did read it I would send you back and say that If you read on my site I also support tread lightly and will send money to you at United Four Wheel Drive Associations if you would like........
What you say about that...?
BTW No I don't like what is going on up there with the trail closings and I also don't like the fact that we still have people with 4x4's and ATV that think just because it will go, they can go there, on or off the trail.....
