STOP THE POWERBOAT BAN ON THE ROGUE RIVER!


For the third time in 7 years, a small group of anti-powerboat activists, backed by wealthy landowners, is trying to ban recreational powerboats on 25% of the Rogue River. This effort ignores decades of responsible, safe recreation by historic users. TWICE these attempts were rejected by public outrage, but this time, your voice is critical to stopping these restrictive and unfair rules.


If we don’t act, the Oregon State Marine Board will implement sweeping rules that will:


Ban powerboats in key stretches of the Upper Rogue River.

Disregard 70+ years of safe, multi-use recreation that has defined the river’s history.

Favor narrow special interests over the majority of responsible river users.

Protect the Rogue River’s legacy for ALL users! Contact the Marine Board NOW to oppose these rules and defend your right to recreate on the Rogue River.


TAKE ACTION NOW!
