Fight the MLPA and get a cool AFTCO cap, just $10

[PAL]

For just a $10 donation you can fight the MLPA and get a sweet AFTCO / Guy Harvey cap. Every angler should sport one.

Donations benefit the Ocean Access Protection Fund and the UASC / Fletcher lawsuit challenging the MLPA's dirty insider dealings. Buy it!

Are they local?
I love supporting the effort, nice hat, but $8 for tax and shipping for a $10 donation?

[PAL]

These hats should be all over the Fred Hall Shows this year. We're also working on getting them into tackle stores. There's always the direct donation route: http://oceanaccessprotectionfund.org/

direct donations will be better as the "cause" will get a bigger slice of the pie, and we they need all the pie we can get um...will definately have one of those hats though, thank you for the info

^Actually, the entire $10 goes towards the legal fund. AFTCO generously picked up the cost. I haven't mentioned it before, but that company has gone the extra mile to help the cause.

Has their been a public disclosure of any big dogs chippin' in to this cause yet?
Shimano, ect?...
curious...

Shimano and other members of the American Sportfishing Association trade group have quietly funded much of MLPA fight all along. Shimano's role was so prominent, it inspired a nasty smear campaign that I'm not going to list here.

AFTCO has been fighting the MLPA from the start. I think I ever went to an MLPA or DFG meeting when I didn't see Bill Shedd, AFTCO's president. They are dedicated to supporting the interests of fishermen.

I buy all sorts of AFTCO clothing, in large part because of their support of angler's interests.
