Calling all boaters: Need YOUR help!

The boating community and everyone involved in the boating industry, conservation, fishing, and outdoor recreation is facing a serious problem if Congress does not pass the Clean Boating Act of 2008 by September 30, 2008.

Please take 3 MINUTES of your day and visit www.BoatBlue.org to send a quick message to your Representatives and Senators urging them to support recreational boating and pass the Clean Boating Act of 2008. A sample letter is already drafted for you; all you have to do is add some information and click send!

Please forward this message to everyone you know. Encourage family, friends and colleagues to do the same. It only takes a few minutes, and their efforts (and yours!) will go a long way in helping protect and preserve our ability to get out on the water without the government on your back.

The Clean Boating Act would prevent the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from requiring every single boater to obtain a federal or state permit for everyday, overboard water discharges. If Congress doesn’t pass this legislation by September 30, boaters will face what is essentially a new tax on their boat, stiff penalties, criminal liability and lawsuits from individual citizens. EPA is forced to impose these new regulations in the wake of a court case pertaining to commercial ships that inadvertently swept up recreational boats. You can learn more at www.BoatBlue.org.

Let’s unite to pass this legislation BEFORE we lose our boating freedom! Please visit www.BoatBlue.org today; take just a few minutes to send a message to your Representatives and Senators. The more letters they receive, the stronger our voices will be heard!

Don’t forget: PASS IT ON!!!!!
