I got a "Miners Action Alert" from the EOMA today about a rally in Salem on the 28th of Feb. concerning 5, count'um 5, Senate Bills that involve the mining and prospecting community here in Oregon. These bills, SB115, 370, 388, 401 and 423 run the gamut from banning all placer mining, another level of permit fees for placer mining to stealing property rights for wide & scenic rivers. I E-mailed Sen. Johnson, my state Senator, and she assures me she will be voting against these bills, haven't heard back from Rep. Boone yet. All you guys and gals in Oregon drop a line to your Senator and Rpresentative and let them know that these anti-freedom and anti-American bills must be defeated.
