    Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    First my apologies to the Moderators, I wanted to post this where all could see so we could all stay informed on what is going on.

    All of us need to get involved in what is happening right now here in California with a Land Grab involving the listing of the Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog as an Endangered Species and the Dredging Ban. Please go to my post under the Dredging & High Banking Section, the post is "Alert 2nd Time for the frog & dredging". If we do not ALL write in, call, email, fax our opinions POLITELY then we are all going to loose our rights to prospect. As a side note some of what they, the DFG as prompted by a group of 12 people, are proposing could even close something as simple and non harmful as rafting on the rivers and streams! This is the time to fight! Do not just sit there and read without sending in your comments on these subjects! PLEASE get involved/stay involved!

    Thank you, Herb/63bkpkr

    Re: Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    I find it very odd that the state e mail machine (recorder) failed losing all the "public comment" recorded on the exact day they "close" comment on the matter --- that sounds very very fishy to me --- like they are trying to pull a "fast one" - so that during their required by law -"'public comment /imput" meeting only those who are "in house" will be heard (bet those who are "pro" what they want to do will "pack the house") -- thus in effect they are "stuffing the ballot box" so to speak to make it look as though the public supports what they want to do.--when in fact the truth is the public at large doesn't - looks to me like the process is being hijacked.

    Thats why i posted the list in dredging and high banking.
    So people can send their comments to them. Maybe a way around DF&G fixing the ballot.

    Re: Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    Ivan, I agree with what you said on this subject with the tampering with the opposing public comments. That is part of the Liberal/Enviromental movement geared to take away our rights one by one til we are a socialist country. I had a friend that got out of the Ukraine and became an American citizen and he fights in our army now. He informed me we have to stand up and take an active part in protecting our freedoms here. He explained to me that the Russian Communist party is only asleep and is targeting enviromentalist groups, Liberals even movie stars to do their bidding here in the U.S.A. to slowly take away our rights and bring down the U.S. from within. So Ivan is right, we must stand up and make our voices heard at any means necessary to get our side of the issue heard. If we don't, we will loose our rights to prospect, detect, raft, hike in the mountains, camp in the mountains, back country horseback riding, snowmobieling, hunting, fishing and shooting. We all must stand up and do our part. If we don't they will steam roll right over us with out a fight.

    Re: Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    Hi All,
    Part of my Alert message was about a video on You Tube about Magadan: Russia's Gold Mine and how after the video of the gold mining was over the commentator added a few ending statements. At the very end of his statement he said something like "is this what is going to happen in the U.S.". I've just watched the video again and it has been modified so his last words are cut but you can tell he's still talking. Is Big Brother really watching??............63bkpkr

    go to this site, copy a printed news article and fax it, if we overwhelm them maybe they will get the point, or is thier head so far up that tailpipe, i,m not getting the point.

    Re: Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    I'm not good with politics as I expect people to do what they tell me they will do, not call a meeting to discuss things and then use the suggestions from us miners against us. After a few times of being knifed in the back I kinda turn into a Bull in a China shop and that just makes waves.

    Helping others is what this site is all about. What I'm doing is just giving back what I've received because it feels good.....63bkpkr

    Re: Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    Anything less than the 94 dredging rules and regulation, is unacceptable
    But who needs the rules and regs since the state can’t follow there own, so learn your mining rights and tell the state and water resource and DFG to shove a boot up it.
    or stay home and watch dancing with the stars
    cuz if we can't stop this your sluicing and panning is next, and fishing is now in the crosshairs

    Re: Alert to all prospectors Get Involved

    I bought a dredge a while back and they started all that BS right after i got it so i ended up selling it... I didn't even get to use it. Don't think they should be able to outlaw dredging over a frog... I've never even seen this kind of frog once in my life. If they care about these frogs so much why don't they catch a bunch of them and throw them in a pond make it illegal to dredge anywhere near or in that pond and let them reproduce so they aren't endangered anymore...
