gotgold Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 This is the kind of "feel good" garbage we're all up against......Here's another link to take a peek at. Also notice the heavy mention of the UN in the sidebars.....http://www.treatycouncil.org/new_page_52412242131111.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your help.KenI know that there are lots of Calif. miners on this board. It is imperitive that we send lettes today. This will be voted on in committee on June 26. A ready made letter and where to send can be found athttp://www.goldgold.com/legal/1032actionalert.htmJust modify the letter to emphasize your own points and send one to each committee member shown.It is dredging this time but detecting is probably not far away.Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Ken... how true... we need to support each other. I have now written fourletters regarding AB 1032. My thoughts are with the small scale suction dredgersin the motherlode area who depend upon dredging during the dredging seasonto supplement their meager income. Jobs are not plentiful in some of the smallcommunities and this extra source of income has traditionally been most welcome.To some, dredging is a summer adventure... but to the local prospectors and minersit is a needed source of income. With this thought in mind... everyone please writea letter against AB 1032. A hand written letter is best... in your own words. Ken... You are correct in the need we must all support each other. There will soonbe a massave assault to close BLM/USFS managed land as wilderness. The PLP isdoing its best to work for us. They are giving us the "best bang for the buck". Please support them... jim straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutch john Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Me again... I'm a slow learner and just now opened "got golds" link. It seems that AB 1032 is about... "mining and dredging activites threateningsubsistence fish!...."What is critical... IMO... is to addess the statement about "Research studies has shown in stream mining for gold can affect or harm the reproduction of spaning fish..... "What are the research studies???? What, where and when... ????It seems to dawn on me.... that this is the basic issue to address. Otherissues are "fluff."I hope someone with computer savvy can address this issue to Chris Ralphas he is very knowlegeable and give us needed direction regarding this "Research"issue.Reno Chris are you out there?

These studies were compiled by well known fish biologists and should carry weight with the elected officials.Thanks for all your helpKen Coulson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
