got this from BOAT/US today. now if only Pelosi didnt turn off all the lights on the session, maybe we'd have a viable energy bill (and be able to get some of our OWN oil) before all these miserable washington fat-cat insiders bailed for summer vacation. :smt013

Dear BoatU.S. Member,

Thanks to some great teamwork, the threat of a new EPA discharge permit for all your boats is gone!

On Tuesday night, President Bush signed into law "The Clean Boating Act of 2008," which gives recreational boats a permanent exemption for the court imposed EPA discharge permit.

I thank each of you for helping create this victory for boating. Every time we asked for your help, you were there to push the legislation further down the path towards successful passage. You contacted your Members of Congress and helped them understand the importance of boating in your life. And Congress heard the loud voices of tens of thousands of boaters! Nice work!

Enjoy the rest of the summer on the water!

Honestly, I think our pocket books are safer if those bozos stay on vacation.

That's good news. I'd lost track of the bill and appreciate hearing this. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes. Maybe Congress could address some of the other pressing issues facing us. With an election coming up I'm not holding my breath.

Now, if only the gas prices would start dropping.
