Yes, I sent a request to the State general email and to Ron Garner:

Ron,

As you’re aware, there is a very strong grass roots movement supporting having the WDFW/Tribal NOF meetings open to public oversight.

To that means, our petition has, to date, over one thousand, two hundred signatures, and growing daily.

We have gained attention from the WDFW Commission, WDFW Director and have received highlight on KING 5 News and various sports media.

We are truly a grass roots movement. It is through people speaking to people that we have gained such solidarity with sportsmen, non-tribal commercials and regular citizens who are concerned about transparency in our government.

PSA has long been at the forefront of actions to enhance and protect not only the sport, but more so the fisheries themselves.

We are asking for your support, for our movement in having the WDFW/Tribal NOF meetings brought into the light.

The Washington Sportsmen Show is fast approaching. We will have volunteers at the show, educating sportsmen and women about the issue of these closed door meetings.

We would like to have PSA provide any support possible to assist in getting this word out to the many thousands who have yet to hear the message, and would like to add their voice to the growing numbers of supporters.

Some area’s of consideration would be:
Provided passes to the show for volunteers.
Allow the petition flyers to be on the table at the PSA stations
Encourage PSA members in attendance to educate attendees on the importance of transparency in our fisheries.

Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Please, feel free to contact me at anytime,

Respectfully,

Haven't heard back...
