MLPA - Senator Bob Dutton

[dsafety]

I have experienced the same frustration in trying to get politicians to respond to my letters. For the past few months, I have attempted to get the two main candidates for Governor, Whitman and Brown, to state their position on this issue, so far without success.

I have sent numerous emails from their campaign web sites and have called their offices several times trying to obtain a response. Each time I have been given lip service by the person who answers the phone but nothing more.

My guess is that these folks are cut from the same cloth as most of our so-called representatives. They prefer to not take a position on something unless they see some personal benefit coming out of this action. If they never take a position on an issue, the do not risk pissing off the potential voters on one side or the other.

Part of the problem is that I have probably been the only person who has contacted these candidates on this issue. It is very easy to ignore on guy, even a persistent one like me. If they were to receive hundreds of emails and phone calls on this issue, we might be able to get some sort of response.

If anyone is interested in adding their voice to mine and trying to get Whitman or Brown's attention that would be great. PM me if you would like a copy of the letter that I have been sending.

Sad but true and we do not have nearly enough to get their attention.

Whitman has already spent over $70 million of her own money just to beat the Republican challenger. Who knows how much will be spent during the next few months. It's nuts.

Arnold is pro MLPA.I heard him refer to it in a speech...

Dont know much about Meg,but she has promised to blow apart a lot of big Gov. agencies(like Caltrans)who are huge on wasteful spending.I doubt if she will make it though.JB is going to take normally the anti-democratic angle of no new taxes and balanced budget which we all know is BS.

It would shock me if Meg did not win this election. IMO, she is the clearly the candidate that is most acceptable to the majority of voters. Besides, it appears that she can and will spend whatever it takes to make sure that her message is the only one that gets heard.

Assuming this is correct, I suggest that we focus our attention on her. Please join me in trying to get her to take a position on this issue. If she comes in on the wrong side, at least we know what we will be fighting.

Like I was saying, If you present the MLPA to her like its wasful spending with some bad buissness special intrest, it may be apealign to her to cut it, Winning fishermans support will go along way for her campaign now and in the future, got to make that known to her.

The point of my post was that here we have a senator working to oppose the MLPA process.

Meg and Fiorina don't respond and haven't done jack to help. Brown and Barbara "Don't call me Ma'am" Boxer support the MLPA and there's no f'n way they're going to investigate or oppose the process.

Senator Bob Dutton is asking the right questions, so let's take a couple of minutes and resend those letters opposing the MLPA to his staff member Sean Wallentine.

I dunno if you follow politics, but Jerry Brown supports the MLPA. Keep in mind hes was the state Autorney General, He would have been in charge of investigating the corruption and special intrest behind it. He did nothing of the sort. He also supports House Senate Bill, AB32. Hes also largely involved in the Air/Carb Board, whos been out to ban diesel fuel emissions etc etc.

Actions speak loader than words, Even if you did get a letter back itd be all lip service, But this guy is involved with just about every global warming enviormental bill. Hes going to go were the money is. The Packard and Moore Foundations...the folks who helped fund the MLPA.

Meg whitman is a new politician. No one knows really how she will be as govenor. But the one thing with new politicians is She doesnt want to hesitate and take a stance on something that will hurt her voting base. If you present the MLPA as corrupt and wastefull spending. If she won the Govenorship, She very well could call for an audit/investigation witch would automatically suspend the MLPA process till its review. Something she could say on paper cut wasteful spending without Directly cutting certain public services/workers (shell be facing alot of special intrest and public employee union pressure her first year if shes elected)

The people who would oppose her suspending the MLPA program are people who support the MLPA hardcore, those people typically acording to voting record, would be voting for Jerry Brown anyways.

I've called some members of the State Senate Rules Commitee, mainly Robert Dutton, and Sam Aenestad and spoke to representives of theres who handle the thier constiuents request and letters/e-mails. Both there Associates said these 2 canidates do support Sportfisherman and Hunters intrest. And are against Abusive Enviormental bills. (both of them oppose Enviormental bill AB32)
