There is a big push to fund Brandon Rinehart's lawyer, as I am sure you all know, Brandon has been funding the majority of his Federal Pre-emption court case from his own pocket. Others like WMA, New 49'ers and AMRA are pitching in to help, as well as other mining groups and some individuals (Prospectors's Choice is offering a raffle along with Kirby Jackson and others; if the desire for winning something for your donation is what you need to be motivated to help out, go to it as you only have a couple of days: https://rafflecreator.com/pages/326...dging-court-costs-help-preserve-mining-rights ). The REALLY embarrassing thing is his court costs are less a very small fraction of a SINGLE PERCENT of the monies that have been received from all the organizations that are collecting money from the miners to cover lawsuits.
Brandon is a member of this forum and is probably too proud to ask, and that is ok, but I have no compunction preventing me from asking- Brandon needs EVERYONE'S financial help on this. This is the time of year for giving and now is a great time to offer to help out on this pivotal court case. And the BEST way to give money for Brandon's fight, is DIRECTLY TO BRANDON'S ATTORNEY. Organizations mean well and have high expectations; but you know how that goes.
There are other court cases involving Federal Pre-emption, but Brandon's is furthest along and is getting some traction now. James Buchal is his attorney and James' is brilliant in his discourse and as long as Brandon (and those trying to raise money for him) can afford James' fess the (small scale) mining community is on the path to a big win in this case (although this case will benefit EVERY sized MINING COMPANY IN THE COUNTRY).
The best way to contribute is to make a monthly donation drawn directly out of your bank or paypal account for ANY AMOUNT you can afford on a monthly basis directly to Brandon's Attorney, James Buchal. I am sure he would even appreciate $1 a month if you can help out in any capacity (times 1000 miners, would be a start). The direct deposit donation helps in that he can "count on" a monthly stream of money to cover costs. Aside from the court costs, Brandon has paid huge personal costs too as he is married and has two small children who aren't able to see their father as he is often in court (when he is not working 60 hours a week supporting his family) fighting for the mining rights of the WHOLE MINING COMMUNITY.
WAY TO GO BRANDON!!! (and the rest of us......?)
Currently there are over 50,000 mining claims in CA, and around 20,000 placer claims here with about 3000 dredging permit holders from 2009. So far literally less than 17 individuals and have stood up and pitched in to help Brandon and some organizations are pitching in from their donations what they can. If you are one of those people who offered to help out, good on you. If you aren't, then obviously you have better things to do with your money- have a Merry Christmas.
Brandon created his own wordpress site: http://peoplevrinehart.org/ where you can go and (now) directly communicate with Brandon and find out directly from him what is happening. He has a forum on his site and if you have any questions for him, you can ask him directly.
Brandon is a really good guy, and has a beautiful wife and family. PLEASE consider helping him out in this pivotal case. The outcome of this case will have HUGE repercussions in ANY further mining decisions from this point forward in any legal proceedings.
