So, yes. these groups may be more represented...
But whose fault is that....that of the RFA or of the lack of participation by various other fishermen groups?

Well-said. Just like the 10% of fishermen catch 90% of the fish, it also holds that 10% (or less) of fishermen actually get involved in standing up. I support the RFA because I am busy and don't have a lot of time to go to rallys and such. I do want someone to do that on my behalf, though, and as finchaser and dark pointed out, if not them, who? And the Jcaa, as far as I have seen lately, is an ineffective political pac who's in bed with too many adversaries. I don't know who's side they represent any more, they have flip-flopped on so many issues.
