Nope, your representative will not support it. Why not ask him why and let us know.

if it depends on us to get our representative to support it then what is the point of your existence? and if you don't know why he doesn't support it then you have no idea how to get him to support so once again it comes right back to "what is the point of your existence again?"

its YOUR job to talk him into supporting it, not ours, otherwise we don't need you if you cant do your job, that's why we give you money, not to have good times with it and promote yourselves. you have been living off of the dead carcass of the gill net ban that had wide spread universal support across the whole spectrum of people who fish recreationally or commercially but "what have you done lately" literally?

I don't see CCA doing ANYTHING at election time "making" these politicians positions on these things well known so they can be held accountable. I haven ever seen a single flier or commercial during election time calling out these politicians for their positions on things. if you don't embaress them and call attention to it they have no reason to take you seriously or care what you say because they pay no price for hoping in bed with the special interest lobby groups. people don't like greedy politicians being bought and paid for and a large portion of the non sportsman voting public WILL change their votes over such info but ONLY if its made known.

Totally disagree with you not contacting YOUR rep. They want to hear from their constituents, not organizations. Believe me.

If not, why would the NRA, AARP, and others contact their membership to contact their reps on important issues. This isn't aimed at CCA. Any organization works this way.

us contacting them ONLY has any impact behind it IF the CCA is already burning their ears over it and our contacting them confirms the organizations supporters stand behind them.

when CCA isn't in the room they show they just don't care and THATS why the organization is laughed at in political circles because they know you no longer support the best interests of the majority of your membership and therefore don't have their support or votes behind you anymore.

And NO balls by the CCA

Yes, I have. They pay. What are you talking about?? This is a dumb A$$ argument.... Do you honestly believe that all the industry using the "ship channel" are not being made to maintain the depth??? Not being charged by the government to use it?? C'mon man.. Think about it.

You think about it. You say they pay to dredge the ship channel, the. When someone stands you up you come out and say you meantime they lay to dredge their dock channel.

Think about it. Industry doesn't pay to dredge the channel, they dredge their "parking lot".

10 pages or bust!

Ok, gooh last one. We pay 100% to dredge our area of the channel in front of our dock.

For every ship that uses the channel. There is a fee paid. If the ship is being used to transport purchased oil to say ConocoPhillips that would be the company that pays the fees. Now, those fees are used to dredge maintain and expand the channel. It's really not difficult, we on the same page now??

Show me a map of this "channel" you dredge. Because in sure the corp just lets your company call up the nearest dredge and start digging away on a verbal PO.

You must have never attended a real meeting on dredging navigable waterways.

Lousy blow...


Anyway, you stated that industry funds dredging of the channel which just isn't true. And you can't argue that, so then you switched to "I saw a flyer by the water cooler showing how much we paid to dredge". Then said "well, I meant in front of our dock". Which really means you don't pay Jack squat for dredging in between the little red and green markers, but just pay to keep your dock deep enough to shove a ship against to load/unload cargo.

The blanket statement that the entire channel between the markers is maintained by LC industry funds is 100% untrue. The money comes from taxes levied on the shipping companies coming into port.
