I will be going.

If nothing else I can tie rigs on the bus ride up and back.

Thanks to the Bogans for arranging the buses.

Any idea at what time the buses will get back to NJ?

The final word on the time and place for the Keep Fishermen Fishing rally - It will start at noon and run until about 3:00 pm on March 21 in Upper Senate Park adjacent to the US Capitol...


Will Post Bus Info/signup when it comes out!

only 3 hours long??

3 hours is more than enough time.

I will be there to stand with my fellow anglers but I am afraid our voices will fall on deaf ears.

Both the senate and house, whoever is in town and not out campaigning, will most likely be focused on the debt issue, extension of the payroll tax and unemployment. Most likely these issues will be the hot topic that week.

Hopefully we will get enough press coverage to raise awareness.

Only thing we can do is get as many people there as possible. Everything else is out of our control.

Number of hours doesn't matter nearly as much as the number of people who show up, we're not tryin to be the next "#occupy" movement here. We get a ton of people there, we will be heard, no matter if we're there for an hour or we're there for a week.

Three Hours will be enough . All it takes is a spark to set this thing off . The more sparks the bigger the flame . I was raised to stand up for what I believe in and to help my Friends when they are in need . To see a way of life die and just watch is a travesty . Vdub , what do you propose to do since you feel that our effort won't do shit ?
