I sent an email to Senator Dutton and almost immediately got the following response from someone on his staff. In my email, I asked if there was anything we could do to help the cause. Apparently there is. Please read below.
Bob
Thank you for contacting Senator Dutton with your words of encouragement. He appreciates your support, and I will pass your message along to the Senator!
As an avid sportsman and hunter, Senator Dutton understands the balance between protecting wildlife and providing access to citizens. He is a true outdoorsman, and he believes in preserving our wild lands, streams and oceans both for posterity and for the benefit of our natural world.>>
If you would like to join the effort to oppose the MLPA, you may send a letter of support to Senator Dutton. The leg team in Sacramento will be keeping a file of support letters, and will also occasionally call on supporters to testify before committee or in hearings. If you would like to do so, you may send a letter to our Capitol office:
Senator Bob Dutton
State Capitol, Room 5094
Sacramento, CA 95814
ATTN: Sean Wallentine
All the letter needs to contain is your personal experience with the fishing grounds in your area, and how the actions of the MLPA would adversely affect you and your community. Be sure to include your contact information if you are open to being contacted by the Senator or his staff.
I hope you find this helpful. Please don't hesitate to call if you have any questions.
Have a great day,
Jennifer Seablom
