Suggested Calling Script........
“I’m calling to ask Gov. Dayton to stop the DNR from stocking Gull Chain of Lakes.
As Governor he has the authority to stop DNR Commissioner Landwehr from stocking muskellunge (muskies) into Gull Lake.
I am recommending this based on the fundamental issues with the plan to stock muskie including, but not limited to the lack of focused biological impact studies specific to Gull Lake, the shortsighted motivations of supporting interests groups, and the overwhelming lack of public support as evidence by the almost 1,000 signatures opposing the plan on the “Stop DNR from stocking ‘Muskies’ into Gull Lake Chain of Lakes Petition” on Change.org.
Please, confirm that Gov. Dayton will do everything within his power to stop the DNR from stocking Gull Lake with muskies.”

Dear Commissioner Landwehr,
I recommend you stop the DNR from stocking muskellunge (muskie) into the Gull Lake Chain of Lakes (Gull Lake). My recommendation is based on fundamental issues with the plan to stock muskie including, but not limited to the lack of focused biological impact studies specific to Gull Lake, the shortsighted motivations of supporting interest groups, and the overwhelming lack of public support as evidenced by almost 1,000 signatures opposing the plan on the petition Web Site Change.org titled “Stop DNR from stocking ‘Muskies’ into Gull Lake Chain of Lakes.”
(Add your own personal reason why you do not want muskies stocked in Gull Lake)
Muskie in Gull Lake is an unacceptable proposition until the DNR can gain the majority of non-biased public support. The DNR needs to gain support by providing comprehensive focused impact studies concluding long-term biological, sociological and recreational balance. In absence of said support studies, we strongly recommend you stop the DNR from stocking muskies into Gull Lake.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
Respectfully,
(Your Signature)
