Exclamation San Diegans!!! Write Jerry Sanders!

It seems Mayor Mike Gin of Redondo due to letter writing campaign has recomended that the City Council authorize letters to the MLPA, DFG, SC regional stakeholders urging CAREFUL consideration of the economic impacts to the marine protected areas within the South Coast study area.

Write on the economic impact of the MLPA intitiative to the economy in San Diego. Please remain polite, and as a concerned tax payer, not to mention, ask for his help in this matter.

Ask your city council member for help too.... I am sending everyone a letter, just got 40 more stamps yesterday...

Mayor Jerry Sanders
City Administration Building
11th Floor, 202 C Street
San Diego, CA 92101

Grego attended the meeting in Redondo, and had this to say...

They are now totally aware and in agreeance of the direct negative impacts from the potential loss of tourism and recreational sportfishing.

Thanks Chris

It is time for you all to send a letter to your local Mayor advising them of this process. In your own words let them know the questions that other citys have and ask them how they are going to address these issues.


If you do not know where to send your letters PM me or E-Mail me I WILL find out for you..............

Thanks again for motivating us! Honestly, if it wasn't for this board I would just sit back and let others do. It is time to do our part. My sons will thank you!

You are a letter writing machine!
I'm on the "DL", so no excuse to write some more.

I just mailed out 5 more letters today.

Even if you send out 1 letter a day it will help.

-At least you can say you went down swinging, instead of sitting around doing nothing.
