I've just snail mailed mine. . .

I hope it's not too late to make a difference.


Thanks to those taking on the fight head-on. I hope common-sense will prevail and that recreational fishermen and our coveted fishing areas will remain open to .

"So many anglers have been sending letters of opposition, that Governor Brown's assistant has blocked them from her inbox."

So the new Governor's assistant wants to isolate her boss from opinions voiced by the citizens of California. I wonder if she did this on her own or was directed by some higher authority.

Anyone else bothered by this? At least the previous guy pretended to listen.

My third email from the KAF site bounced back so the block is still on. I will try sending directly from the Gov's web site along with snail mail.

Exactly.

Please go the Governor’s webpage at http://www.gov.ca.gov/m_contact.php , type in “Please Do Not Reappoint Richard Rogers to the FGC” in the subject block, complete the webform and submit.

It is always a good idea to follow up with an old fashioned snail mail.

Governor Jerry Brown
c/o State Capitol, Suite 1173
Sacramento, CA 95814

For extra emphasis, give this number a call: (916) 445-2841

Yeah, you bet we are. Too many to handle, or arbitrary decision, not wanting to deal with them?
What side is she on? She because it was her inbox.
Our printer is down, so we'll have to hand write the letter to ensure it gets there.
We hope they don't decide to throw out the snail mail too, because there's too many letters to open.

E-mail received today from Alyssa Hausman,Policy Fellow
American Sportfishing Association

Thank you very much for taking action on this important issue. KeepAmericaFishing is working hard to minimize access closures in California due to the MLPA, and we would be unable to do so without the support of anglers like you.

It has come to my attention that emails opposing Richard Rogers' reappointment have been bouncing back. I assure you that the email address they are being sent to is correct, but that so many anglers have been sending letters of opposition, that Governor Brown's assistant has blocked them from her inbox. We are continuing to collect emails through KeepAmericaFishing and will make sure that these do make their way into the correct hands.
As I mentioned earlier, Keep America Fishing will hand-deliver hard copies of the emails if necessary.

Thanks everyone for excellent response. If you haven't done so yet, there's still time to enlist your friends and family into the cause.

Got some help from family and friends. So far I've been able to get five family members and seven friends to send emails and hard copies to the new gov opposing the reappointment of Rogers. Even got some of my enviro-nut lib relatives to participate. Just printed out modified letters for everyone that strongly opposed Rogers, that stressed the need to focus on good fisheries management and emphasized the importance of protecting the environment from pollution. Got everyone to sign their letter and dropped them in the mail yesterday.
