I sent E-Mail to a friend of mine that lives in Fortuna, CA., on the coast. The mail was about Earth First and how they want to stop all gold mining. He replied, today, that Earth First has a headquarters about 30 miles South of his place in Fortuna, he always see's them hanging around the CDF station, looing for someone to finance their cause so they don't have to go to work for a living. He told me, "The Steel Workers Union came down from Washington last week and announced they were uniting with Earth First to attempt to break the Maxxam Corp. who also owns an aluminium plant in Washington." I think we need to find the address of the Steel Workers Union and write them letters as to how we feel and we won't buy any of their products if they unit with Earth First. What do you think about it? Stan
