The biggest problem here is the 30 second sound bite the commercials will be running, it's unbeatable, add the fact that they have very deep pockets and your chances of successfully convincing the non-fishing public is just about zero.
FYI it takes about 5 million to run a winning ballot measure campaign in the state of Oregon.


the cca doesnt take on anything they cant win smile

What wins do you have?


Fishy


over the years ive been involved with various issues but anymore i dont say or do much, it`s obvious that i must be kinda old fashion and want better sportfishing and the restoring of fish runs but the new way is to ruin sportfishing and not restore anything so i figure if thats what you new-wave anglers want you can have it, i dont have to spend my fishing money in washington and i know a few of us are going to be quite happy saying we told you so, it`s actualy sad that you guys are so blind.
