Spoke with Ted Little today as well as Betty Carol Graham. Mr.Little stated that I was the first person to contact him or his office who had opposed the idea and all call had been positive and he encouraged any and all interested parties to contact him to voice their opinion. My response was that not enought people knew about the bill but they would in short order. So call him. Mrs. Graham was looking into the option of altering the bill to allow for boats 37 to 40 foot and will be having meeting with concerned parties on Monday before the legislature resumes on Tuesday the 14th. She also encouraged everyone to call or contact her if you were opposed. She is unclear what objective Mr. Dial is trying to accomplish. We have contacted the NBC stations in Montgomery & B'ham to report. WCOV from Mon't has picked up on the story and was sending reporters out tonight to collect interviews. We contacted a number of marina today for feedback & to get the word out on the bill such as Nelems in Jasper, AL and owner Robert Nelems stated that two national Powerboat groups were getting involved. So if we keep up the pressure the legislate & the special interes groups won't be able to steamroll this through. Call Call Call your Rep & Senator, they won't to hear from you, even at home so lets see..
