Done! As Ron said I don't think it will make much of a difference but then again taking two minutes out of my life to send this to my Congressman has not affected me either. Thanks for the post Gerry and keeping us all informed.

Myself, Tony of Palmers Bucktails and few others exposed several of these underhanded scammers in 2013 I think it was?

There was a chick on here and the SJ site blasting posts, some others, with signup links etc. for a bill that later was found out to be Very Bad for fisherman. Forget the details.

POINT: We got to be super careful, lot of wolves in sheep's clothing.
Had a bunch of fishermen fooled and bragging they signup, then later found out the truth....
PLEASE, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ARE SUPPORTING

Glad I took the time to read this thread. I'm an old curmudgeon who writes to Frelinghuysen ( my rep) all the time.
I've got dozens of his & Menendez' form letters on various topics.
The link is easy. Will try again on this matter.
I'll also forward it to a bunch of guys. Thanks.

The house has passed this bill part of which was some flexibility which is what we wanted. Thanks for everyone who wrote in to support this.
