This is the typical scape goat answer. We have a long ways to go to keep legislators worried. More voter voices sent the better.

One thing the enviro and other groups have is staying power. They accept small victories (or defeats) and just keep coming. we as recreational anglers ahve to continue to keep the pressure on as well. We can never let the foot off the gas peddle.

I am also an NRA member. One thing they provide is a one click link to contact your elected officials on legislative matters. While I'm not proposing that here, I did find a good site for locating and contacting my elected officials:
http://www.leg.wa.gov/
I'm not sure if everyone knows who to contact. Also, a short generic letter that people can forward (or edit) might help sportsmen's voices be heard a little better. What do you think?

I know that both CCA and PSA have sent voter voices out to members with a generic letter that can be used and an easy one or two click system. I have also posted that link that you are using. You are on the right track Dan.
