Elizabeth Martin gets her misinterpreted information from the rest of the spin-doctored documents that the environuts hold to be gospel. If you tell the public the same misguided lies long enough, some of the more simple minded followers will start to believe what is being said. The following quote is taken from the article linked above and used by her for spreading misinformation:
"Suction dredge machines suck up that mercury and blow it up into tiny pieces, and those pieces are much more toxic, much more available to be absorbed into the bodies of fish and insects. And when human beings eat fish contaminated with mercury, it's absolutely toxic," said Elizabeth Martin, CEO of the Sierra Fund, a community foundation for the Sierra.
She and other environuts use Scare Tactics like this, that are not supported by any reliable and reputable Research Biologist's Reports ( ie: True Science ), to create an EMERGENCY SITUATION so the lawmakers can and do become "influenced" with some form of compensation to author laws to prevent these unsubstantiated allegations.
So then, WE the Miners, end up in court to prove them wrong again and again. But in the meantime, we are out of the water and not mining.......that really sucks! If we don't stop this type of bad information from being shouted from the roof tops and replace the legislators that compromise their morals for monetary or personal gains, we will be fighting battles in court till the rivers dry up. JMHO.......
