NC Recreational Boaters and Tourist..PLEASE READ AND RESPOND

[BoatGirl]

:!: Senate Bill 1695 is scheduled for Finance Committee next week and the NCSHP has been campaigning against recreational towing over 8'6" during night time hours. The current bill, S1695, has provisions to allow recreational towing for boats up to 120", 24/7, without a permit.
It is imperative that we strongly urge all House Representatives, Senators
as well as Governor Easley to support Senate Bill 1695 as writtenand to oppose any amendments that might be proposed during Finance Committee. The letter you will find by clicking on the following link will cover all of thestatistics that support the current bill.
Please fill out and pass along to everyone you know that is involved with
boating. This legislation is extremely important to recreational boaters,
the marine industry and tourism in our state.
Thank you in advance for your immediate attention to this matter.

As I read that letter, it also seems to apply to those of us who travel to NC with our boats, and spend our tourism dollars in the state. If that is the case, maybe some of us from out of state can help in this effort?

Absolutely!
Just click on the link in Boat Girl's post and fill in the blanks.

For those who previously did one of the automatic email letters re: NC boat towing, PLEASE DO THIS ONE TOO! Gov. Easley and our legislators need to be reminded that we as trailer boaters are not a small niche group and that we bring a major amount of revenue to the NC economy.

We have been working hard to get this legislation past despite the emotional claims of an agency in NC. The statistics are on our side and these legislators need to understand how important it is to pass this bill as written.

Please pass this link along so we can have the voice of the recreational boater heard.

Thanks so much everyone!! You have no idea how much I appreciate your support.
