Please Read this in it's entirety.
This famous statement attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller about the inactivity of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power. The text of the quotation is usually presented as follows:
“First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.
“Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
“Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew.
“Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.”
Here is my revision:
“First they came for the dredgers,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a dredger.
“Then they came for the hard rock miners,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a hard rock miner.
“Then they came for the treasure hunters,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a treasure hunter.
“Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.”
While many of you don't think what happens in California does not affect you, please reconsider your position. Please take the time to help save the California dredgers, it will have far reaching effects and possibly spare you the same pain and theft of freedom.
