Flyfisher, educating the public is a very good way. The more they know the more they will understand and might wanna help. I understand the idea of having media for the protest. It is a good chance you can get a TV station to come down for the protest. The guys at the pier last summer sure did. They were able to get the attention of the media. I think the best bet is King 5 , they seem to cover more of this kinda issues. Also there are many radio station with email and call in for concerns and ideas. I have done this to several radio stations that I listin to. And I have emailed them too.
Rather then just protesting why not do the phamphalet too. Everybody can agree on what is on the phamphlet, then we can individually print it out, so no one person is stuck with all the cost and responsibility. This way we can print out what we need and then pass it out and hang them up in the area they sell wild Steelhead. This way every one on this board can contribute even if they can't make it for the protest. I think this can be more subtle and not scare off some of the "OH GOD" type of people. It gives every one a chance.
Hell, if some one has a really good idea on how they or what they want to say on the phamphalet I can even print out a 100 or so and take them to the Ms game and just have it in the car to ditribute any time any where.
