Mike, thanks for the donation to CSPA. Your money will be spent as wisely as can. Please check into the CSPA site two or three times a week. The battle for our fisheries is a constant one. We have numerous actions and issues that will be posted in the next few days.

In addition stay tuned for information on the battle for AB 1806 the delta mitigation bill sponsored by Lois Wolk. We need more guys like you, willing to put some of their hard earned cash back into supporting the battle of defending their fisheries.

Thanks again,

Jerry Neuburger
Webmaster, CSPA
