If not his office , then the PO in his home town..We need sacks of letters delivered on the same day..If you think he won't take notice then send them to News12 or even Eyewitness News..But we all have to get on the same page and it can't be done over night. We need the help of EVERY fishing group, tackle shops, boats. Maybe even gas stations and coffee shops..Now comes the hard parts;
1- Get someone to draft a letter explaining what is going on and if he wants our votes next time that he better get more involved in what is going on. Such as lost jobs, people going out of business and the loss of tax revenue to the state caused by the lack of people fishing because of these regs.
2-Find someone to donate a shit load of paper. I'm taking thousands upon thousands of sheets. We want to blanket the state with them. We want to give them to every store that will pass them out or put them in the bags of their customers.
3- Find a printer or printers that will print them, hopefully donate them. Maybe our special interest groups could help out here.
4- Set up points through out the state that vol. could pick them up and then they could pass them along to other vol. who would then bring them to their local businesses..After all this does affect EVERYONE.
5- set a date for them to be mailed and hopefully everyone will send them.
If sacks of mail are all delivered to one spot on a certain day then someone will have to take notice.

Now this is a great suggestion that is greatly appreciated! The question is how can we implement it. I certainly am willing to help and do my part in some capacity. I would like to say that I could be the leader of the band, but this daunting task would put me over my head.
Without speaking for someone. We would need someone who is well known and respected through out the fishing community, along with having resources,time and great organizational skills. Again, Thank you very much for a constructive response!
