[Coldeadhands]

Okay folks, this is the big one.  SB 5127 has been scheduled for a public hearing

 
Agriculture & Natural Resources* - Tuesday 3/24/2009 8:00 a.m.
 
House Full Committee
House Hearing Rm B
John L. O'Brien Building
Olympia, WA

Public Hearing: SB 5127 - Concerning the governance of the department of fish and wildlife.

 

Mike Ryherd, CCA lobbyist calls for ALL HANDS ON DECK!

 

We really need you to attend this meeting.  You know who  has been busy lobbying for support and now it’s our turn to show opposition.  Our letters and phone calls are making a difference, but what we need now is as many folks as possible to jamb the hearing room and halls.

 

Please show up early in your CCA finest and sit right up front.  If you do not have any CCA apparel please wear something to identify yourself as a sports fisher.  Logo hats, shirts, etc. Bring your spouse, your neighbor, your fishing buddy; they don’t have to be CCA members to support this issue.

 

Ed Wickersham and Andy Marks will speak on behalf of and for CCA.  If there is a sign up sheet for spectators please sign in “against” or “opposed”

 

Parking is at a premium so consider carpooling and bring money to feed the parking meters.  If you can’t make it, please send another email to your Representatives.

 

Thank you for your support

  Latest alert I recieved


By now I’m sure you have received multiple messages from CCA and are fully aware of the dangerous Senate Bill 5127, which would gut the Fish and Wildlife Commission.  This bill passed out of the Senate last week and is now assigned to the House Natural Resources Committee.  CCA is leading the opposition to this dangerous legislation and we need your help.

 Unlike our prior Action Alerts, this message is only going to select CCA members and supporters that live in the districts with representatives who serve on this committee.  You are receiving this message because your state representative is part of the 13-member Natural Resource committee.

 For more background information on this issue, please visit our website and review the Briefing Document on SB5127 posted on the homepage.

 To quickly send a pre-drafted message to your state Representative, please click on the link below.  As always, please consider adding some personal comments to the text to increase its effectiveness with your representative.

 Remember, government (and our fish and wildlife resources) goes to those who show up.
