URGENT!! FAX to stop MLPA budgeting!!
The MLPA general fund budget will be up for a vote tomorrow. The Ocean Conservancy is calling on their public to preserve the money. We must respond immediately, preferably via fax to the numbers shown below. Here is the committee: Budget Conference Committee Assembly Chair – Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) Fax: 916-319-2107 De Leon (D-Los Angeles) fax : 916-319-2145 Blumenfield (D-Woodland Hills) Fax: 916-319-319-2140 Niello (R-Sacramento) Fax: 916-319-2105 Nielsen (R-Biggs) Fax: 916-319-2102 Senate Ducheny (D-San Diego) Fax: 916-327-3522 Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga) Fax: 916-327-2272 Leno (D-San Francisco) Fax: 916-445-4722 Lowenthal (D-Long Beach) Fax: 916-327-9113 Walters (R-Laguna Hills) Fax: 916-445-9754 Fax a letter: --- Via FAX: [xxx-xxx-xxxx] Dear [Senator or Assemblymember XXXX] I support the Legislative Analyst’s recommendation to suspend $4.4 million in funding for the Marine Life Protection Act and to suspend the MLPA until California has the funds to do it right the first time. According to the Department of Fish and Game, the implementation of the MLPA will cost California $35 - $60 million ANNUALLY. The state must live within its means and this is money that could go to fund education and children’s health care. Sincerely, [Your name and address here] |

C'mon all, if you have a FAX at your office, send it now, flood those FAX machines, the anti-fishing groups are doing the same!

I would think that at least one of these politicians has an idea that the the state is going through a buget crisis at the moment? And would realize that "hey the state can't afford this right now". So really don't understand the urgency to send preprinted letter to these people about the obvious? What am I missing here?

Yo San Diego peeps, Ducheney's office got back to me and said I also needed to talk to Christine Kehoe - phone 619-645-3133, fax 619-645-3144. I'm going to drop her a line too.
I also sent and e-mail to the Jon & Ken show (AM640) maybe they'll get a hold of this - maybe they already have - I haven't listened to them in a while but I know this kind of budget stuff is right up their alley. |

revenues
Be sure to remind them of the state revenues that come from fishing licenses/permits and the programs that are currently funded by those revenues. Then remind them what will happen to those future revenues and programs with the MLPAs and closures.

Make those calls, too...sometimes a voice conveys more than you think, esp. when it stands for something you believe in.
And my impression is that they want to know what the GP is thinking, and how actions would affect them; their future depends on staying in touch with the public.
