To ask you why you think this is relevant for more than just a small handful of people. Back to Post 19 again. IMO you're trying to create a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.

But ... maybe you can provide statistics to show that this is a significant problem.



Also, I said the following with the qualifier ... "if I were the senator you're trying to convince" ...

I might also ask for statistics on how many campers there are in the state in question, and perhaps also in surrounding states. And I'd ask you if you have done some research (surveys or something) on what sort of camping facilities are actually desired. I'd want proof that this is actually an issue for more than just one or two people.

If you genuinely think that there is a problem and that you've got a solution, and if you genuinely want to convince someone/anyone to implement a solution, you've first got to produce evidence that there is a problem. If you can't produce evidence that there is a problem no one is going to want to go through all the fuss, hassle, and bother of implementing a so-called "solution".

Do some research ... come up with statistics ... put together some surveys and polls.
