Today is a great day for NH gold miners!!!!! WE WON!! The bill is DEAD.Today we went to concord for our hearing on motorized mining. Awesome turn out! The old saying the proof is in the pudding, let me tell you! The meeting started with the rep who wrote this bill she didn't have any real facts and pretty much said she didn't like it personally. Only one other person was opposed. Then came us miners we had ALL the proof documents, pics, studies you name it they got both barrels. we ran them out of time with overwellming testimony. The look on that committee's faces when they saw what we bought priceless! At the end of it the rep looked like she wanted to crawl under her chair the committee's chins we on the floor! they took a vote and KILLED IT!!! I want to thank timberdoodle and AGP they were a great help. Also to everyone who came to the meeting THANK YOU!!! There is power in numbers and today is proof. After the hearing I got to talk to one of the senators and she thanked us for the education they received. She said that they had no idea of the good that we did. One guy told the committee that he used his not only as a dredge but also he used it to suck up Millfoil an invasive aquatic plant they liked that!

Good job.

Sounds like you lopped off its head, dragged it down the street to town square, and hung it on a pike where it belongs.

Did you bring up the economic side of it? You know, how banning motors punishes the guy that sells pumps, along with the pump manufacturer, and all that money spent going down to the creek and back?

They got the whole story! AGP said that a couple of senators were for it until they heard our testimony!

Great job everyone involved. There wasn"t much time to get every thing together. I don"t think they thought there would be a fight. Hopefully this is the last of it. Great job for the people that put this together. And T-Net for helping get the word out. Super news and lets get some good weather now.

Great turn out today with a lot of very good testimony. Got to send a special thanks to John Dorval from the tri-state GPAA for driving all the way up to support fighting this bill. His submission file must have been at least 10lbs of material/studies. Great job to all!!!

We did it, we won!! We stopped the dredge ban in it's tracks! We hit them with a lot of facts and info and I even brought in a 2 inch into the State House for them all to see that dredges aren't monsters. One of the Senators came up to me after the vote to see if he could give the dredge a try sometime and gave me his card. The key thing about fighting these lawmakers is that they have no idea at all on what a dredge is or how it works. Once we showed them and explained what a dredge is and how insignificant the damage they do to the environment is, it actually switched 2 of the committee members views to our side and killed the bill.

I tried this in the great state of Misery and got put on a "watch list" for my efforts. Misery wanted to develop a "prospecting permit" for Misery.....all my calls to them were fluffed off and NEVER returned. I went through this for 2 years and finnaly gave up. DONT NEED NO STINKIN PERMIT !!!

 

[nh.nugget]

Hopefully we've heard the last of rep Oxenham. we proved that she didn't have any of her facts right. We'll see if she brings in any enviro-nuts to try to stop us again. Like I said before it was a collective effort by all

you guys rock, live free or die! wish new yorkers would get together to solve problems politically. All that happens here is that extreme liberals protest and riot in the city acting like unstable children.
