Please, make time to reach out and let them hear your voice! We need you to speak up! Tell them NO. This would devastate communities and families all throughout the eastern part of NC. Kill off generations of knowledge and ending a century plus year old way of making a living. This is not right. Please help and spread the word to STOP NC HOUSE BILL 442 from going further. It’s a very small way you can make a huge impact not only in your lives but the families that provide you with the freshest wild caught seafood there is!

IMPORTANT READ!

So while you get ready to mow your grass, stare at your computer, play pickleball or golf, a Christian family down on the coast looks at each other in total fear.

The North Carolina Senate votes today on whether to ban sh*****ng in ALL INLAND WATERS ALL THE WAY OUT TO A HALF MILE IN THE OCEAN!

That will effectively end sh*****ng and fresh local shrimp in North Carolina. The fleet of trawlers is made up primarily of 3, 4, or 5 generations of "family farmers of the sea, running smaller boats.

The legislators who support this have been bought and paid for by big oil money funneled through the NC Wildlife Federation and the CCA.

You, as a citizen and a voter, are the only ones who can stop the slaughter. Your email, your call, your telegram to your senator, Republican and Democrat, will help stop this abominable vote to end sh*****ng in North Carolina.

Jesus was a fisherman.
