Fellow vets,

I need your help please? Most of you do not live in South Florida so this issue does not pertain to you right now. But it may one day pertain to you since most of us are around or near retirement age. Even if you dont live, vacation, or fish in South Florida, after you retire you may one day decide to move here or vacation here. We have a very serious issue with pollution with our two rivers that flow out into the Atlantic Ocean. The pollution is caused by the water that is released from Lake Okeechobee down into our rivers that was normally released to flow south of us. "Big Sugar" in WPB owns (via campaign money) our politicians and the Water Managemnet District. We held a rally last Saturday and are now fighting back. If any of you are interested, you can read more about it at the Florida Oceanographic website. I fish twice a week and for alot of us that live here, the ocean and the rivers are our personal santuary. Please do me a personal favor and help out a fellow vet and sign our petition (it will take a whole 60 seconds of your time). Remember, you or family may one day decide to move here or vacation here and I'm sure that you would want a safe environment for them. Thanks in advance for your help.

Jarhead: I was number 170. Hope you get a good response. I love the fishing there (but my info is about 25 years out of date on that). Cool
