I often wonder if a national organization is the way to go, or is an area focus best. An area focus, say the highlands of AR, MO, and OK where the Fish close to the hearts of fly fishermen, Smallies and Trout, reside?
An Area focus can, or should, let politicians at all levels know they are truly hearing from voters. An area focus can be more attractive to those that don't feel they have the time or ability to address problems facing every area of the nation.
Brian if you keep reminding me, and the good Lord's willing, I will be at the clean up. Great idea.
