Not that I'm aware of. I was a member of the Brown Brigade and went to several rallies, volunteered on the phone banks etc. But I was the only one even mentioning the issue. I posted blogs trying to get other Brown Brigade members to get involved and help our fishermen but didn't get any replies. But it was good to see that Brown got involved in the United We Fish rally in DC a couple of weeks ago. He showed interest that he may want to help us. People call Snowe, Collins, Brown RINO's, I think they are some of the few pols that care about our fishermen. I'm a computer geek but my brother is a commercial fishermen. Over the past 15 years the Magnuson restrictions have gotten so harsh, he can't afford to pay a person to help him so he goes fishing in the Atlantic on his own, just barely scraping by week to week. If the catch shares do go into effect on May 1st, he will be out of business by the end of the summer. According to his calculations the catch shares mean he will have to try to survive on 30% of what he has been catching and just scraping by.

Per your last sentence, that is precisely the same thing we see with respect to oil and natural gas down here in Louisiana. Federal policy couldn't have a more pronounced effect on domestic energy production if it was designed to import it all.

Hey 69th, I understand this issue played a totally unreported part in helping to get Scott Brown elected up there – is that true at all?
