"Which way to go" oh "Which way to go"?? Good question isn't it? Thanks RC for your encouragement to us all! I believe I will vote no on UPSMA but just for the time being fellas. I'm not against it totally just would like to see if we can swing a BIG GUN over to our side first and all of us get behind it 100%. PFUSA does have fighting chapters in every state (I think) at least they do here in New Mexico. I have reservations about the GPAA just as RC does and am still waiting for a response (mailed info with plans for us on what to do) but nothing yet!! I do like your idea RC about contacting the PFUSA and see what can be arranged to represent the small gold prospector and miners' interests in this battle and the battles to come. I'm a member of PFUSA already so I'll contact our presedent of the New Mexico chapter and see what has to be said about All of us joining our state chapters and what could be expected in return for our financial support of PFUSA as well as our active participation in these battles. I'll get back to all as soon as I have something conclusive. Don't give up the fight boys. WISHBONE
