Greetings everyone, please forward this to all of your contacts and lets stop this bill.
We are sending this emergency call to action on SB637, another layer of government and a scheme by those in Sacramento to require we purchase a permit (and more regulation) for pollution discharge for suction dredging from the CA Water Board. The issue on "pollutant discharge" has already been decided by the Supreme Court and SB637 is a way for the opposition to small mining in CA to ignore that.
We won the case in San Bernadino, so they immediately sit down with the environmental groups (Sierra Fund) and try and pass another scheme to stop us.
As you know, many of us have been going to Sacramento and testifying against this ridiculous bill. We applaud and thank those who have also gone to Sacramento and testified, or made their presence known but we need you to contact your Assembly person and tell them NO, do not vote on this bill.
Don't just read this, do something, click on the link below, find your Assembly person and contact them. Then send this email to everyone you can and tell them how important it is we stand up to this. If you want to be a small miner, pan in a creek, run a dredge or simply dig for gold, MAKE THE CALL. Sitting there doing nothing allows them to win.
Dale Meyer and Chris Giorgi have created a website that make it very, very easy to oppose this bill. Simply go to: http://www.stopsb637.org/ click on "California State Assembly Contacts" if you do not know who your assembly person is, and make the call or write a letter.
We cannot do this by ourselves folks, we need your help. Click on the link, make the call or write a letter. We cannot make this any easier.
If you do not make the call to oppose this bill, do not complain when mining is gone.
Mr. Shannon Poe
President, AMRA
