crab petition update from organizer Gary Hulsey:

I am going to deliver the Petitions to the Governors Office at 11:00 AM on FEB 2, 2004. I will take a contingent of people from our chapter and would like to have as many people from other chapter as possible join me in this. This is a Monday and I realize that many people will not be able to make it because of work so just spread the word and see what we can turn out.
By now I hope that everyone has seen Clint's letter concerning HB 2431.
I have suggested an amendment to the bill that would require that all the crab endorsed CRC's be counted at the end of the season in order to establish a base line with which to compare in season estimates and the suggestion is being considered by Rep. Upthegrove, one of the cosponsors of the bill.
Let your people know about the 2nd and contact me if you have anyone willing to attend.
Thanks,
Gary
PS We have in hand over 6300 signatures at present.
