Writing letters is more my style, and more effective than personal appearances in most cases.

We shut down the tripletail limit with a letter writing effort. The next step of progress in red snapper is having congress recognize LAs new boundary.

More real progress is likely exerting pressure on the relevant legislators than the wildlife commission. Once a good written case is framed, it can be applied to both legislators and commission members with much less manpower than showing up at meetings.

Big gov't types probably prefer citizens waste their efforts showing up at meetings because it is much less effective at bounding expansions of gov't power.

Oh yeah, the meeting is not tomorrow, it's Thursday. Big gov't types especially like when concerned citizens show up on the wrong day.
