Message-ID: At he request of the D28 Cdr and ExO Since USPS is a non-profit corporation, we are not permitted to lobby as a group under federal tax regulations. However, the information forwarded below is important to all persons interested in recreational boating and merits action in support of the proposed legislation, if you agree with its contents. If you do decide to write or contact your legislators, please do not include the fact that you are a member of U.S.P.S., District 28 or your local squadron. Simply express your support as a citizen boater for the bill and its contents. Thanks for your attention to and consideration of this critical issue. BOATERS: TAKE ACTION! NATIONAL BOATING FEDERATION ACTION Alert: HELP STOP FEDERAL BOAT PERMITTING! (Courtesy of NMMA) PLEASE URGE YOUR U.S. SENATORS TO CO-SPONSOR S 2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008 March 17, 2008 THE THREAT TO RECREATIONAL BOATING: Unless Congress acts soon, every recreational boater in the country will have to obtain a federal or state permit in order to operate their boat. This means yearly fees, bureaucratic red tape, confusing and potentially state-by-state regulations, citizen suits and $32,000 per day penalties for non-compliance. These permits would apply to deck run-off, bilge water, engine cooling water and any other water-based, operational discharge from a recreational boat. The Environmental Protection Agency, due to a sweeping court order, is already writing this unprecedented new regulation on boaters. THE CLEAN BOATING ACT OF 2008: Senators Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) have just introduced S. 2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008. S. 2766 would fully and permanently restore a 35-year permit exemption for recreational boat incidental discharges, such as weather deck run-off and engine coolant water, and works to protect the health of the nation's waterways by pursuing whether or not reasonable and practicable best management practices need to be put into place for some incidental discharges. This important bill preserves recreational boating and the boating industry, taking a balanced approached that recognizes that pleasure boat discharges are completely different from land-based industrial facilities and commercial ships. WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY TO PROTECT BOATING: All Boaters MUST contact their U.S. Senators and tell them to co-sponsor S. 2766, the Clean Boating Act of 2008. You can quickly and easily send a letter to your Senators by visiting: www.boatblue.www. Once, there, it is a simple process to contact your Senators. This is the most significant threat facing Boaters today, and we need your help to solve it. Take 5 minutes to tell Congress to support S. 2766. For more information: -WWW.BOATBLUE.-WW -Contact Mat Dunn (_mdunn at nmma.org_ (mailto:mdunn at nmma.org) ; 202-737-9760) or Dylan Jones (_djones at nmma.djo_ (mailto:djones at nmma.org) ; 202-737-9776) so they can follow up with your Senators. We thank the NMMA for thier support and expertise, and we all need to pitch in. THE NATIONAL BOATING FEDERATION Bob Schloeman Messenger **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros.
