Andrew,
I caught that right after they were posted. I got the infamous white screen. I think it is because I was copying and pasting into the message body. At first I thought it was the URL's causing the problem so I went back and added the [URL] wrappers and it still gave me the white screen. The URL's I was trying to point out came from an email addressed to the Board of Directors for the Sac-Sierra Chapter of Trout Unlimted, sent by Dave Lentz. Dave was requesting the Chapter send a letter of support and also that individual members send a letter as well. I will re-type the message here and hope that it shows up this time...
Hi Kevin and Board Folks,
I would like to request that Sac-Sierra TU write a letter of support for the Pauite cutthroat restoration project on Silver King Creek. This would entail endorsing the alternative number 2, eradicating non-native trout below Llewellyn Falls using rotenone, from the draft EIS/EIR that is in comment period now.
Here are links to informatino about the restoration project. First, DFG's website which has the NEPA/CEQA documents (600+pgs, about 9MB). Comment letters can be snail mailed to DFG in Rancho Cordova, or emailed as well. Comment Deadline is May 4.--

Also, a link to Ted Williams, Conservation writer for Fly Rod and Reel Magazine that has a lot of background on the Pauite Cutthroat project and other western native trout restoration issues:

Letters from individuals (in addition to a chapter letter) that support restoring the Pauite Cutthroat would be greatly appreciated--this may turn out to be "numbers game", supporters v. opponents, in certain of the approval arenas that the project must pass. There are several permitting steps that are vulnerable to opposition. Supporters should favor Alternative 2 in the EIS/EIR and support returning the Paiute to it's native home. So, this would be asking a favor of you individually, as well to write.
Letters to: Stafford Lehr, Calif. DFG, 1701 Nimbus Rd., Rancho Cordova, CA 95670 or email letters:
