who stepped up?

[so cal shaggy]

Did anyone submit their name for a nomination to the statewide interest group I posted a link to the other day? I know everyone is sick of the MLPA and do want to have anything further to do with it believe me I would like to just sit back and say let the other guys handle it but unless some of us step up and volunteer to be part of these groups we will not have a voice at all. Paul and MJ have already stood their watch and they occupied positions that are far more involved than what we will be so now is the time for some of us to step up. The anti fishing groups have spent years embedding their people into these types of groups and networking to put them in positions where they have the advantage. We need to adopt the same tactics of grooming and networking with people or we will loose all of our fishing grounds both fresh and salt water.

I was hoping that one of the heavy guns would take this on but no one responded by the deadline so I submitted my name. If they accept me, I will need a lot of help and input from those more experienced with this kind of stuff.

Bob, not to worry, if you are chosen let me know if you need anything.

Way to go Bob. Friends, this is how its done, you pick up the baton and run with it. Bob, let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

Paul, I was really hoping that you or Billy or one of the dozens of hard working folks who put in so much time last year would take this thing on. Why didn't any of the really qualified folks volunteer to do this?

Who knows if I will be selected anyway. If I am, I will certainly be taking you up on your offer. I hope that I have not bitten off too much.

Then you hoped wrong. Your statement answers its own implied question. Some of us have no more to give. The cause needs a constant supply of new blood. I'm glad you stepped up.

I can still contribute but I expect more folks on this board to step up, I really appreciate Bob doing so. There will be more to give, I hope more folks step up. If you are part of this gig and get good info from this group of folks there is sort of an obligation to contribute somehow. Totally understand some people can't, we've got you covered, the ones that can, should.
