The only thing the politicos understand is $$. They won't push to refund the gages unless it means $$ for their areas. If they get enough letters from boaters from all over the south saying they won't visit or spend $$ in the area because we won't have a gage telling us something is running. With the price of gas, we can't afford to get skunked anymore. Let the TN politicians know these gages mean tourist $$ to their constituents.

I definitly won't be heading to the Tellico area without the gage. There are a few runs up there I'd like to bag, but if I have a gage telling me there's something to run in NC and I don't have a similar gage in TN.........NC gets my $$.

I'll be writing a few senators and congressmen before the week is out. I suggest everyone does the same. Here's where to find the TN politicos.........

Congressmen:  http://www.house.gov/
Senators:  http://www.senate.gov/

Mark, keep this one front and center. I'm with ya all the way.

Thanx -- Rob Maxwell
