News from the EverGREEN State Options

[Quilomene John]

Hey Everybody, After getting beaten like a bad dog, the prospectors of Washington are finally getting some respect. Some State Senators were dismayed at the heavy handed tactics of the Wa. Dept. of Natural Resources, directed at small scale gold miners, and scheduled a hearing in Olympia to hear concerns from miners. This thread from the GoldDredger.com forum tells how the DNR tried to shut down our rally and in the process made us martyrs (tax paying, voting ones at that) http://golddredger.com/dcforum/DCForumID1/644.html
I'm sorry the thread is so long but it really united and energized the miners in Wa. Hopefully my Colorado brothers and sisters won't need to get harrassed to build some political clout!
I strongly encourage the individuals and clubs in the central Rockies to consider putting on a mining rally at a centralized location.We all need to gain recognition and forge alliances between clubs! QJ ;)
