Politics matter

[Joey Dah Fish]

I’m not trying to tell anyone to vote for anyone or any part. Just trying to inform you that we the fisherman are being noticed. So I’m just passing this on so you know where this candidate stands. Chose wisely and get out to vote. What ever person you chose just please vote.

Informative post. Thank you. First time I've seen a Senate candidate talk about fishery management.

Considering the fact that Menendez wouldn't even take our calls to meet with SSFFF when we really needed his help! His (people) kept blowing us off like we didn't matter.....Guess we had no $$$ to donate.

First thanks for posting. Second I'll do it for you. Like everything else entangled in politics, the only way to summon change is to have a political presence at the table. If someone is actually incorporating our concerns regarding fisheries management as part of their campaign, he has my attention and will most likely get my vote. If recreational anglers don't establish a stronger foundation of representation, I'm afraid our protests will be as they have been largely ignored or dismissed. If politics is &%$#*!* up the fisheries, only a political alternative can counter that.

Again Joey thanks for posting this and bringing it to everyone's attention.

the reality is, money talks and b.s. walks in everything political. hard truth is all the activism in the world, or what party sits in the seat of power, red, blue, or other, means nothing compared to campaign contributions. Bottom line, if you want anything done more than lip service by anyone in political power, get you and and all your friends to donate massive amounts of money to their reelection campaign, and do it every year. Outside of that, everything else is for naught.

Though this is more true than not. I would humbly suggest you at least recognize the fact that some is actually paying attention. That also has importance. In the past two years literally no one paying attention to this issue except for a photo op . Let’s just make sure we keep making ourselves heard until people listen. The best way to do so is at the ballot box.

I can assure you that Bob Hugin doesn’t need your money. People died for the right to vote so I respect your opinion. Without getting into specifics, I believe Bob Hugin’s interest in the matter is sincere (it is public record he was a decorated Marine) and we worked in the same industry prior to his recent entry into politics.

Joe-thanks for posting.
