My response was partly due to being overwhelmed with projects at work and at home and not having enough time for myself, let alone for another cause. It will take big bucks and probably volunteer lawyers to fight this one. Sounds like a project for the American Rivers Council, the ACA, the Sierra Club, and several sportsmen's organizations. I don't know of any purely kayaking organizations with the money to fight it.
