The fact is that Todd has worked long and hard to help restore our wild salmonids. Few have done more than he for a longer time. He has proven his dedication. Still, CCA has a proven track record of improving fisheries and they seem to be well organized and well financed. I respect Todd and I belong to CCA. It doesn’t have to be one or the other.

I suspect the commies love to see us keep fighting each other. If we could simply pull together on the issues upon which we agree and ignore the others we might have a chance. So far I see far too little of that.

As far as some CCA members putting out a message of join or all is lost, that's unfortunate. (Still any large organization will have some members that we don’t agree with. Do you agree with everything your candidate for Pres says? ) But you must admit that, to date, we have been losing the battle.

I see CCA as a hope, perhaps one day they will be more than that, but to bad mouth them for lack of accomplishments in the NW is simply silly. They have been here less than a year, are still very much in the development phase, and are still polling members to see what they want addressed first. If you want input - join. If you just want to continue complaining, ask yourself the Dr. Phil question. "How's that working for you so far?"
