August  18, 2010 (Washington, DC) – The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation (CSF) today announced a new way for America’s hunters and anglers to support access and a voice for sportsmen with elected officials, land and wildlife management agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGO's) and sportsmen allied industry groups across the nation.
