Ok, so by now some of you know I got Postcards that need to get mailed to FERC. If you saw me recently and took 5 or ten and made sure they got mailed out, I thank you. And if you listen carefully, maybe-just maybe- the river thanks you too because...

"The River Can't Speak For Itself"

SnoPUD's Draft License Application is moving through FERC right now. We have less than 60 days left to comment. Due to the way postcards get prioritized by the post office, we need to get them in as early as possible. As Many as possible.

This is only one volley of a series of responses to the DLA, and to the Licensing process in general. For it to be effective at all, it needs to be of a Large Volume. So if you want to be involved in stopping this juggernaught, please get with me soon and get some cards. Many of the ones I have are pre-stamped.

What I have in mind is a very simple and effective strategy where each paddler fills out his or her own, and hands out 5 to other people. Yeah that's right- its a Pyrimid Scheme. But what's really more effective is if YOU- Yeah YOU. reading this RIGHT NOW- agree to take 20 and distribute them.

"But jP!" some of you might think "20 is a lot- I can't distribute that many". But you don't have to. You just get four people to distribute 5 each and boom- you're done. Then get 20 more and see how far we can reach our own individual networks.

That's the basic idea. Contact me via PM if you want to help. There is no way I can possibly hand out enough myself- I've moved over 200 now (thanks largely to about 10 paddlers who have helped hand out 5-10 each).

On another note, this Draft License Application is just another phase in the process. So be prepared to take action again in about 6 months or so when they file their Final License Application. Its' important to hit this hard NOW though. We gotta push this next 60 days to make it count. Please get involved.

BUMP
Ok Everyone- we got about two weeks to mail in postcards.

Thanks to every paddler who has helped me distribute these! If several of us put forth a tiny bit of time and outreach, we can potentially reach lots of folks who sincerely care about Protecting The Skykomish from unnecessary Hydro development.

If you haven't found me and gotten postcards to have mailed into FERC, please do.

If you are a Snoho County Resident you have a stake in what happens as a ratepayer and your voice especially should be heard.

At this point I don't have much time left to keep updating here on PP and checking PM's. It's better to contact me directly.

Is there printable PDF version or template of these postcards we could distribute via email or facebook? Might help those who can't get their hands on a postcard be able to print and mail them.

Let me see what I can do with getting a shareable format together.
