MLPA - Time to get to work!

[PAL]

Myself included, there are lots of guys on this board that aren't necessarily from SD. I'm assuming that its ok for us to send the letter to the SD politicians, or is it more effective for us to write the letter to the politicians closer to our home turf? (OC for me) I saw this on a few other boards, for different areas. I know lots of guys check several of the boards. Again, if we can write a letter about each specific area, and send them to the repective politicians, should we do that as well? Also, in regard to the letter we send to you for the BRTF, do you want a hard copy? If yes, where can we send it? If not, what e-mail can we send it to?

Please start with a letter addressed to the MLPA Blue Ribbon Task Force. Select an area near your home in the cross-hairs and comment. Those would be La Jolla, Pt Dume at Malibu, and Long Pt at Catalina. Send it to me via PM or PM me and I'll give you my email address.

Next, think about writing a beach city that will lose $$$ if a closure comes to call. Here's a list of the cities that have already taken a position. You don't need to target them unless you want to hold their feet to the fire.

Ok people, send your Blue Ribbon Task Force letters to MLPAComments@resources.ca.gov, Subject line "South Coast comment for BRTF."

Put the hammer down. A pro-closure RSG member just bragged on the MLPA listserv how 1000s and 1000s of letter support proposal 3. Send your letters, then get your friends and co-workers into the game.

Spearos are cranking up.

If a spearo/kayaker can send 6 pro-group 2 emails (one for each region), and get your girlfriend/wife/kids to do the same, we can be a very powerful voice.

1 kayaker X 6 = 6 emails

1 kayaker + wife +2 kids (all kayakfishing of course) X 6 emails = 24 emails.

get us 100 such families:

100 X 24 emails = 2400 emails!!!

100 dedicated kayakers/spearos getting their families/friends involved will tip the balance. The rest is icing on the cake.

let's lower the hammer ladies and gents. Bring 'er home.

Let's do it guys.
