Talking about it on the internet does help to make people aware of the problem but now everyone who complains about the spraying needs to be there on the 22nd.

Maybe somebody should tell cnn about the protest!

Good article... But there is too much money to be made by our politicians for them to care about our environment. I don't see anything changing.
Brad Krone
The last paragraph of the article says a lot:
"The FWC declined five CNN requests for interviews or comment and has yet to say what new ideas they received or when they might be tested. While a brief spraying pause was enacted last year, the airboats and helicopters keep spraying for now."

If you're down that way please go and support Scott Wilson and crew. Just talking about it here won't do any good. Call your State Reps and make time to stand up for the problem. The crooks that run the FWC could care less about the environment.

You can support Scott Wilson by being active on Facebook and YouTube with his and Mike knepper on there. Scott will be at the protest but it's not put on by him.
No, It's not put on by him but he will speak. you can support him by showing up.
I'm not on FB much at all but I think I've heard something or other about Scott and Mike's videos

I was wondering about that.
From what I understand the word did not get out very well.
I would have loved to go. But the wife had to work. I had to stay home with the kids.

The wife and I also went. As Spider said not as many there as I had hoped for. Although the FWC was in attendance in case of a riot I suppose. There was a local tv station there but I don't know the exposure we got from that. I believe it was channel 12. We need MORE people to show up at the next one..
When and where is that?

No date was announced but one speaker said within the the couple of months. There will also be some FWC open meetings announced..
