(PS, it's OK to contact your elected official to ask for legislation
to be introduced. You don't have to wait until something is introduced
to express a concern about an issue.)

What legislation has been enacted as a result of you doing so?


Follow along, please.

1. Last fall, Federal judge rules that the EPA does not have authority
to exempt recreational vessel discharges from the permitting and
enforcement process.

2. In Jan/Feb of 2007, NMMA begins spearheading an effort to convince
congress to draft legislation that would allow the EPA to exempt
recreational vessels.

3. Letters and calls from thousands of boaters (voters) around the
country bring the issue to the attention of congress.

4. The HR was introduced.

My point is simply that one doesn't have to wait until there's a bill
before the House or Senate to lobby for congressional action.
