We gotta pitch in NOW!

Let's help save our salmon season.  This is copied from the Coastside site, so if it doesn't come out right, cruise on over to their site to access this quick and easy message.  They really made it easy.  You click the link, enter your zipcode, and presto!  The letter goes to all the right decision makers. 

Could not be easier.  So please.  Do it now.

COASTSIDERS ITS NOW OR NEVER

We are in the final lap of a 10 lap race. I THINK we have pulled away from most of the opposition other than the most important player of them all, Washington DC, and its water diverters that control the Secretary of Commerce.

I heard an interesting quote yesterday, a friend of mine who was walking the halls of congress trying to get a commercial season. In one of his meetings he was told don’t focus on the monkey; it’s the organ grinder that’s the problem. I took that to mean everything is coming from the top, so I will let you draw your own conclusions.

Our lobby (ASA) told me yesterday that our grass roots operation is the key to saving our salmon season. Our lobby has turned their entire Washington DC operation on our problem. They have been doing everything possible.

We have made a difference, but it has come down to us and our grass roots organization. I have asked a lot of you this past couple weeks, and I apologize for the obvious disruption in your personal lives.

On behalf of ASA and your Political team I am force to go to the well on more time, and ask you this time hit the target list with everything we have left in the tank. YOU MUST RESPOND YOU MUST RESPOND, YOU MUST RESPOND.

Let’s put all our disagreements aside and post this message on every board you can think of. Go to your neighbors, friends etc. I can only put it this way, It's the fourth quarter with 2 seconds left we are on the goal line and I handed you the ball.

The following is a link provided for us from ASA that will make it easy to contact your representatives, you will only need to put in your zip code, click once and a prewritten letter will go out to all the boxes you have checked. Please notice that 6 boxes have already been checked for you, these are the most critical. We can't make it any easier than this.

Remember this is a defining moment in our fishery history that will change our lives forever. The effort shift alone has the potential of removing us from all viable saltwater fishing forever.

Thank You
