At the risk of being a "pitiful moron"
what the heck is the plan here? Your first post says: Quote:

The pitiful morons I was referring to, were the private boaters Jorluivil mentioned in his response that seemed to know nothing about the MLPA. Jimmyz123 has mentioned, in one of his responses, that he has some connection with personnel at KUSI and CBS, and he might contact the Turko Files. I have not yet called any news stations yet, I was kind of waiting to see if there was even going to be much of a showing, and at this point, the list of kayakers is rather small (20-25). I'm not sure about the private boater's group that may show up, also. Anybody know about that? There's still plenty of time for this list to grow. I was going to send emails and make some phone calls (if worthwhile, depending on the size of our group) around Dec 28th-30th, so it's current to what we are doing. See my other posts in this thread, about my "suggestion" for showing up on Jan 1st, with time, location and signs. Thanks. |
Ok. Been thru this post several times and still cannot figure out where to sign up to let ya'll know that I plan on coming. I understand it is at 8 am on the first at La Jolla.

Basically, you just did by posting. That's where I thought the response list would be generated.

I'm in with the brothers... 3 total.

MLPA, Spotted Owl, Wild Horse, bit by bit.
They are well financed and will take advantage of your weakness. They have no problem lying. They rarely lose.
Just my take, but the name "Bloody Decks" is not a good start. If they claim the area is over fished come back with "Catch and Release" "Barbless". Lose the "meat hunter" image fast. You are the hunted. Pride comes before the fall. Minnow |

Calls to Media

Is there anyway we can get a true count of who really will be there? |

I've also sent emails out to some news stations without any response, yet. With the appeal on Dec 15th, the closure looks like it may be delayed for some months, is that correct, Paul? Thanks to the many that have indicated they would show up on Jan 1st, but it does appear this may be bad timing with all that entails the Eve and Day celebrations. A showing of 25 kayakers, and who knows how many private boaters, isn't going to gather much attention. A showing like a Matt Moyer Tournament of a 150 or more kayakers, plus the mulititude of PBers on that summer weekend, all carrying signs against the MLPA, while fishing, with media exposure, might get noticed. Let's postpone this to a later date. Someone indicated this appeal might delay the closure until late into 2012, which means a massive protest, i.e. signs and large group, might be a better choice. Sorry for those that were wound up to do this thing now. Keep that mojo going, we still may need it. |

If the original lawsuit had been successful, a delay would have been likely. Now we have to wait for the appeals court. The PSO said they hope they'll get a favorable decision by late 2012. Any changes that follow should also apply to the south coast closures. |
Boo! Sorry for getting anybody's hopes high for fishing the areas that will be closed next week. I'll still root and hope that appeal can result in something positive for us, down here.

Soooo...
Are we going to 'occupy' the ocean or is it fizzling? I'm a bit confused. More than willing, Willy |

There is going to be a Wall Street occupy force at the Rose Parade starting Jan.1 . Maybe the media would rather see Riot Police kicking in faces and not us with are Plastic Navy.

Show up, if you'd like, but New Year's weekend wasn't a good choice, afterall, and not enough bodies to make an impact. |
