This is what I sent to my rep. Cut and paste. Add your name, etc, edit, done. Easy

My name is xxxx xxxxxx, and I reside at xx xxxxxxx xx in xxxxxxxxx. I am writing you in regards to the above mentioned bill, as it has future ramifications to me, as an avid striped bass fisherman.

MA House Bil #4224 is the fishing license legislation written by a steering committee of recreational fishing leaders and is currently at a critical point in the legislative process. The bill is now in the MA House Ways & Means Committee and is in danger of having monies diverted to the Environmental/State Police. This diversion will cause MA to lose millions of dollars in federal matching funds that pay for current fisheries programs and it will cause many organizations, including the MA Striped Bass Assn to withdraw support for any State managed license.

I support H4224 "as written" and that you would like to see the bill come out of Ways & Means ASAP. Would you please take time to look into this on behalf of myself and all the other fishermen and women who reside in the seaside communities you represent? I look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,
