Don
Amador and Grant Gerber are organizing
one of the largest events ever undertaken
in the West. Please help them and the
Klamath farmers any way you can.
The water the government allowed them
will not save those farmers or put
an end to this situation. See WorldNetDaily
story: Drip drop, drip drop, drip ... drop dead
As many of you already know, the BRC
is an official sponsor of the Klamath
Farm Aid Convoys and Traveling Auctions.
I
have visited with the farmers in Klamath
and what has happened there is grossly
unfair and illustrates what many of
us already know, the Endangered
Species Act is being misused by anti-access
groups to impose an agenda that is not
good for the environment or people.
Bill
Dart, a BRC board member and current
Legislative Action Officer for
AMA Dist 36, has family roots from the
Klamath Basin and he agrees that we
must do something to help the
farmers who have been financially devastated
by the ESA.
Since many of you are interested in
helping with the effort to aid the
Klamath farmers, here is the latest
info on the Shovel/Bucket Brigade Farm
Aid Convoys:
Although the exact details of where
the various convoys/auctions will be
staging from and stopping at are
still in the works, all three will be
leaving on August 15 and plan
to arrive at Klamath Falls on
Aug 21, 2001. One will be leaving from
the LA area, one from Elko, Nevada,
and one from Montana.
The Klamath Relief Project is headed
up by the Shovel Brigade and it has
a goal of raising 20 million
dollars. Our goal is to end up at Klamath
Falls with a substantial amount
of money for farming families
impacted by the loss of access to water.
Should you want to donate funds or a
small item/s (i.e. new helmet, hunting
vest, snowmobile suit, flak jacket,
winter vacation at a resort, etc.) to
be auctioned off, you can send
it to me and I will take the items
and donations down to the So Cal staging
area on August 14.
Donations, etc. that you want me to
carry down in the official BRC enclosed
trailer can be sent to:
Shovel Brigade/Klamath Relief Project
c/o BlueRibbon Coalition
555 Honey Lane
Oakley, CA 94561
Larger items (i.e. OSVs, Jeeps - yes
a new jeep has already been donated
for auction, etc.) can be sent
to:
Shovel Brigade/Klamath Relief Project
491 4th Street
Elko NV 89801

I will release more details and itineraries

Thanks for your interest and support
of this worthy effort.
