Stop the Insanity-Just Say NO

What exactly will the forum be? I was thinking of going to the RI meeting, but honestly, how much of a "voice" will recreational anglers have? will they give one person 2 minutes to represent all anglers? Ive seen things like this go bad quick... many times, it's just a window dressing formality to appear as if they care about your input before they go ahead and do what they have already decided to do anyway...

Numbers count. So a room with one or two speaking plus 100 people in the background supporting an issue will have a LOT more weight than one or two speaking with 4 people in back, which is what usually happens.

I've seen enough times that it has worked to convince me that is worthy to do.
