If you made everyone catch with a rod and reel, wouldnt that create jobs? How many people would it take to do the work of one net?

I agree the fragmented efforts of the past were doomed from the start. And a multi-headed approach would divide commercial efforts as well. But if they still have more resources and political know-how, we may lose again.

What about hiring someone who has experience and a successful track record in doing this type of work. They would know the pitfalls to avoid and could direct our effort in the most useful way.

Start a NPO to unite alike organisations, or pick an existing one. Planning may be the most critical part of the process. I dont see how you could plan something like this without the knoledge of an expert. Unfortunatley, that means lawyers, more lawyers and the lot to do it right.

I would contribute time and money to this effort, have paypal smile

We may also want to consider fighting this from another angle. Say political reform. The couruption of government is popular issue and may be worthy of addressing. I read of a few other organisations above. Are they the most likley and why? Are there others?

Face it, it's possible to do this for all the right reasons and with the best of intentions only to have the wrong PROCESS. I think this forum would best be serverd by exploring the process first. Figure out what your resources are and how to use them efficiently.

I'm sure there are more great ideas in the heads of forum members just waiting to be posted. C'mon, step up or shut up!
