Done. Here's the sample letters including emails:

Donald Koch
Director, California Department of Fish and Game
(916) 653-7667

Sacramento, CA 95814
Dear Mr. Koch,
Kayak anglers are a major part of Southern California’s recreational fishing scene. We are also unique, in that our ocean access is limited to a small number of safe and productive launches. Our interests can only be represented by another kayak angler. For that reason, I support the appointment of Kayak Fishing Association of California director Paul Lebowitz to the South Coast Regional Stakeholder’s Group.
Sincerely,
Your Name Here

Ken Wiseman
Executive Director, MLPA Initiative

Done. Thanks for making it so simple, guys.

Time is growing short. If we don't get on the Stakeholder's Group, kayak anglers will be left out in the cold, with no expectation that other groups will protect our interests.

Please send a letter, email, or phone call supporting the nomination of KFACA DIRECTOR PAUL LEBOWITZ and KFACA DEPUTY DIRECTOR MJ KENNEDY to the Executive Director of the MLPA Initiative and the Director of the DFG. Letters from kayak fishing business owners are especially helpful. Please personalize your letter – it will have more impact if you do.
Government contact info, links, and sample letters are available on the KFACA website: http://www.kfaca.org/rsg_nomination.htm
