Did something I never do because I think it's pointless: Emailed my Rep (A cosponsor of the bill. [puke] ) and my Senator (Spilka). Also emailed my CoP encouraging him to reach out and oppose the legislation.
No response from any of them yet (except an auto-reply from Spilka). Will update...
Hooked up with three fish today but couldn't bring any of them to the net. TINY BWO and Caddis were the ticket today.
