Dear [Senator or Assemblymember XXXX]

I support the Legislative Analyst’s recommendation to suspend $4.4 million in funding for the Marine Life Protection Act and to suspend the MLPA until California has the funds to do it right the first time.

According to the Department of Fish and Game, the implementation of the MLPA will cost California $35 - $60 million ANNUALLY. The state must live within its means and this is money that could go to fund education and children’s health care.

Sincerely,

[Your name and address here]

I would think that at least one of these politicians has an idea that the the state is going through a buget crisis at the moment? And would realize that "hey the state can't afford this right now". So really don't understand the urgency to send preprinted letter to these people about the obvious? What am I missing here?
