Thanks for MLPA turnout!! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

PAL · 06-04-2009, 05:18 PM

I can't thank the huge kayak fishing contingent enough. I know a lot of you gave up a paycheck for the day, or you used a precious vacation day to sit in a hotel ballroom when you could have been out having fun. It was a sea of black shirts, and I was very impressed with your energy and the things you had to say. Its no easy deal to walk up to that podium, especially with 200 people watching. I know - I think I was speaker #3 or #4.

YOU MADE A DIFFERENCE! How many times can you say that when it comes to politics? Don't stop now - this thing has a LONG way to go. Start planning right now to attend at least one of the upcoming workshops. They'll be at night, and you shouldn't have to go far. More on the other thread.

Again, I am incredibly grateful for your support and commitment. You people are MEN (and some kick-ass ladies too).

Nice to meet some of the OC guys. It was nice to actually meet Gabe, Kiyo, Charles and others for the first time.

Thank you again Paul and MJ. I don't think any of us has the time or the stomach for the meetings you have subjected yourself to for our collective benefit.

For the guys that didn't show up. I know it sucks, but some of us are using vacation/sick time for this. Others are taking unpaid leave from work because it is THAT important. As long as you won't be fired, you need to show up.

We need more guys for the next round. Period. There is strength in numbers. You don't have to be a good public speaker. Just honest and straightforward with your message. You can even read your own statement.

I cant stress Tyler's message enough. Sometimes even the most insignificant thing you say can strike a chord with someone on the RSG, BRTF, or I-Team.

Thanks Guys!

Today was just a day that I couldn't swing. I have already sent the letter I was going to read. Big thanks to those that could make it, see you at the next meetings.

A big thanks to all that showed up. It was good to see everyone and unite. Matt... I think they liked you a lot! Maybe you can cook them up something before the next meeting. They seemed more interested in eating some good food.
