Headed to the fateful meeting - do us proud on Weds! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 10-20-2009, 09:13 AM

The BRTF meeting that will determine our future starts at 1 pm today. I'll be there doing my best to see kayak anglers get a fair shake. I know you'll do your part on Weds. I'm looking forward to seeing the familiar faces of my friends and valued peers.

As you get ready for this difficult moment, please remember a few things. Respectful, kind words will be heard; anger will be tuned out or turn hearts hard. We have friends on the BRTF - remember this!

It's a time to talk about the maps and how they will affect us all. Please be positive and proud - we are self-reliant, environmentally friendly, the best of all people, an asset to have on the water. Show up early and stay late. Keep your cool among those who'd deprive us of our cherished freedoms, whether out of ignorance or misguided ideology - we are better than this.

If you haven't committed to coming to Long Beach on Weds, its still not too late! Every one of you is needed and will make a difference. Come even if its to bear witness and cede your time to another one of your brothers. Look for the Proposal 2 room for help with speaking points. 1:30 and 7:00 pm, Long Beach Hilton. It's one day for the future of our sport. Don't let us or yourself down.

YES ON TWO!
