CAPT. PAUL REDMAN

Some of you may be aware that several of us have had a couple of meeting's regarding becoming politicly active on a large scale.We have asked for help at every level of government with little or no response from the incumbents. We have also spoke with other watermen along the coastabout doing the same thing and all have agreed to let there votes determine who will represent the fishing/ boating community.Well apparently word has gotten out, atleast to the folks running for office and we will have the opportunity to interview the candidates at each meeting. This next Thursday May 29th we are going to interview Wilson Robertson who is running against Mike Whitehead for the district 1 seat, this is in no way an endorsement for anyone. But we will interview them all on a bi-weekly basis and as a group then determine who we will get behind.

We will have a sheet for those in attendance to fill out for things that you want changed in the community.

I know some of you may think that fishing is not that big a deal and yes I do have alot at stake, but please realize that if you put all water related activities together along the 5 gulf states commercial fishing, charter fishing, recreational fishing, scuba divingand think about what goes along with all of it,Docks and sea walls water front homes and marina's, boat sale's and boat repair business, tackle shops, dive shops, fuel sales and licensing and registration,permits, insurance and lastly TOURISM.Florida's saltwater fishing industry alone is over 5 billion dollars per year.

WE ARE MAJOR INDUSTRY AND ITS TIMEWEGET SOME RESPECT

This is not an RFRA event.Anyone is welcome it is open to the public.

this is a VERY SERIOUS matter people and we need to stand up and get very involved or you have no right to complain about what happens to your fishing and boating rights when there taken away or more regs. and prmts. are inposed on you because you just sat at home and didn't come help us fight for YOUR right to fish and boat in florida waters.

a hand full of people can not get the job done. we need EVERYONE that has a boat or a fishing pole to cme to these meetings and let OUR elected officials know that we will be heard and we do and will vote for the ones that will help us get what is rightfully ours to start with.

we shouldn't have to beg and plead with the people of this state to get off their duffs and help wiyh these very important issues that concern each and everyone of us in one way or another. thank you for reading and GOD BLESS. see you at the meeting!!!!!!!

If I can get there, I'll be there. We are going out of town that weekend, but I think we aren't leaving until Friday. We need large numbers here!!!

CAPT. PAUL REDMAN

We have been contacted by a few other candidates so it looks like this might be a step in the right direction for us all.

I hope the folks on here show up that have stated they were.
