Custie,
I have joined NHRBA. I hope what you say above is true and that you will indeed give equal billing to voices from all sides. I will, of course be advocating passionately FOR a speed limit and recruiting to NHRBA people who support the same. I expect that many members from Winnfabs will join me. I hope that we will be able to take part in the democratic process you describe and can be involved in the board elections. In fact, if the associate is truly set up for the purpose you describe, we actually share the same goals. We look forward to the May 6 strategy session with Director Barrett, and I have already contacted a reporter about joining us. I will hopefully bring a radar gun that was designed specifically for marine use and that has been used effectively by hundreds of marine patrol agencies across the country. I have even been speaking with another agency about coming here to teach our MP how to accurately measure boat speeds. I agree that the key here is education. We need to educate as many NH citizens as possible about how they can participate in this issue and make their opinions known. And we need to educate our MP on the success of speed limit laws and high conviction rates on other lakes. All I ask is that we limit participation in this process to actual NH citizens and keep the Floridians, Californians, and Missourans out of our affairs. I'm sure you will agree that this is the business of the citizens of NH.
Also, as a prerequisite to registering for your site, I had to provide my personal information. I trust that will not be released to anyone.
I look forward to working with you.
Frank
