Apologies if this isn't much of a diary. I just want to share an analogy to the final chapters culminating in tonight's historic vote. And I turn one of the greatest moments in the history of college football: The Play.

Fantastic

In the wake of the historic closure of all salmon fishing in California and Oregon, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer today has spot-on op-ed on the subject.

A recent report by local and national conservation groups laid out a comprehensive strategy for recovering federally listed salmon in the region's Columbia and Snake River Basin (LightInTheRiver.org). The principles identified in this report can easily be applied to all of Washington, Oregon and California's struggling salmon stocks: First, we must curb greenhouse gas emissions; second, we need to invest in solutions such as reconnecting salmon to high headwater habitats and protecting health flows and cool waters in headwater areas to help those species cope with changes already under way.

While the piece praises a regional carbon emission cap and trade plan, it does not go into significant detail on the second phase: fish passage to pristine headwater spawning habitat. Join me after the jump to explore the dam removal issue on the Snake river system.

Statement of Disclosure: In this diary and comment thread I am posting in my capacity as Road Show Organizer for Save Our Wild Salmon. Other diaries and commentary are strictly mine and do not represent the views of Save Our Wild Salmon.

Save Our Wild Salmon, a national coalition of conservation organizations, commercial and sportfishing associations, businesses, river groups and taxpayer advocates, will be coming to The Bay Area this week. Traveling 10,000 miles through 20 states, the Wild Salmon Road Show brings attention to the plight of endangered wild salmon and steelhead in the Pacific Northwest, and build support for removing the four lower Snake River dams in Washington State.

Follow me over the jump to meet the star of the show, Fin, a 25' steel and fiberglass salmon!

I, admittedly haven't been following this story closely, until Kos provided a link to Senator Mitchell, Disney's Chairman. I remembered that I'm actually a shareholder with Disney, so I decided to write him a letter. I figured I'd share this here, because you all inspired me to undertake my first action of shareholder activism.

Mark Ritchie is taking the fight to Mary Kiffmeyer, and scoring major points. In the past two weeks, he has pointedly exposed Kiffmeyer's failures as our Secretary of State, and forcing her to play defense. Read More

(This is my first Diary here, forgive any formatting missteps. And I need to give a big hat-tip to Kid Oakland for the motivation to write it.)

Chances are, you don't know Mark Ritchie. He is running for Secretary of State in Minnesota. Now, this might make me a bit of a hopeless wonk, but this is the race I am most passionate about this cycle. Please follow me over the fold and I'll tell you why.
