By now I am sure you have all heard about the attempt to remove the Executive Director of the Coastal Commission, Dr. Charles Lester. I will not repeat all of the details here. There is a lot of information available at Act Coastal, including a list of media articles, and information about the voting records of the Commissioners.

This message is to ask you to take action. First, you can send a message to the Governor and the Coastal Commissioners. Then, if you are able, attend the Coastal Commission hearing on this matter and voice your objection to the power grab.
