Ft. Pierce on Tues 1/30/07 6 -9 PM

Doesn't seem right for it to be so far north for all you southern boys.
Are they trying to dodge you fellows?

That's the way they do it .... shell game meetings to minimize public input. Then shove some cockamamie reg up your butt that they have already hammered out with their cronies and special intersts while claiming that the public was invited and encouraged to attend.

Feild Trip! FA can we charter the short bus to haul us to Ft pierce? Seriously we need somebody w/ all the facts and figures diplomatically presenting our case. A raucous rabble will do more harm than good. Not that we shouldn't all go and show our support, we just need a couple sharp keynote speakers on our behallf.

The short bus with Latysha it is! Don't worry about red light hold ups because the old lady goes right on through 'em.

I`m with you on this Butch ... need some one who knows the regs ... and what they are planing to do ...who`s getting the Bus??

Fishalways · 01-05-2007, 07:12 PM

I am up for a bus ride.

I think a statement should be written up with concerns and ideas and perhaps a representative (I nominate QQ) could read it and present it with signatures.

Maybe someone should start a thread for concerns and ideas to put in the statement.

Perhaps it could be made up as a PDF people could download and sign and fax to a central party.
