Given the size of the room for the commission meetings, its not worth my time, to go out and get people to attend. My fault for not having been to a meeting before, I put out the flyers.

That was 2010. While you think its a big joke, any organization can collapse if new members are not continuously recruited. Someone recruited the guy that gave Save our salmon a half million dollars, for the initiative signatures. It wasnt me. But every time you mock me, someone else is keeping his head down and not sticking his neck out. That means, people with money, big money may fall thru the cracks. Now that may not be all that important to you, but the fact is, the organization needs a lot of money to pay the execs and the lobbyist, who is full time. Legal work isnt cheap either. Now perhaps you think that these retired guys will just keep digging money out of their wallets, when your buddy obama has to lower interest rates to 3% to keep business going. Well seniors cant keep up with inflation at 1% CD rates. So where does new money come from? You? Its not coming from me, cause Im not going back out to any ramp on your behalf or anyone elses. I dont give a fk.

Keep that in mind, because the organization that I recruit for is in the process of fixing the CR issue in TWO states at the same time, with almost no extra money spent of its own. Had 81 failed, we would be back to square one. Had 81 passed, we would still have to get WA to go along. The oregon governor is running ads against two other initiatives, cause he does not like them. They only pay attention to us, because we vote and now we have a pack. We would not be in this position without the members who were routinely ridiculed and the free labor and the money spent to go to banquets to pay for the personel we need to keep fishing going. You can thank cca and a few chosen legislators for carrying the water on a 60 million dollar hatchery investment. Im sure PSA is in there in the mix and they have to raise money just like cca does.

FYI I dont think much of you either. We're even.
