Help if you can

[ratled]

We have several things in the hopper in light of the SG brief in the Rinehart case. One of the things that you can do is this from Dave Mack. It worked well for us in the 3rd Court of Appeals and is worth a try here. At least the cost is low

WMA email blast

On December 6th the Solicitor General of the United States issued a reply briefing to the U.S. Supreme Court recommending they not review the Rinehart Case.

Had the Solicitor General supported the petition the odds of acceptance by the Supreme Court would have been 70%. The odds have now dropped to 30%.

You can find our letters, and the briefing on our web page:

Western Mining Alliance

Copy and paste the above address in your browser, and look under "Rinehart"

We, and all the other mining groups, feel this briefing is wrong. The author of the briefing is Lane McFadden, the same U.S. attorney, based out of San Francisco, who wrote the anti-mining brief for the California Supreme Court.

It's a long shot, but we're requesting you send a letter or call the White House to ask them to pull the brief and review it.

The implications for all mining in the United States is serious. The ruling in California says the 1872 Mining Law can never preempt a state law, it guts the law completely.

Please consider writing or calling. Email isn't very effective. The phone number to the White House is

To date the following groups have submitted letters: New 49er's; AMRA; PLP; WMA and the attorney representing these groups.


Please do what you can.

Short timeline to send a Letter SCOTUS will accept or deny by Jan. 5th

>from latest email;
.
We apologize for such short notice but the Solicitor General’s brief came out late Wednesday night and there was concern that it would be part of the Supreme Court’s review process that Friday. The good news is it was not reviewed at that time and is currently scheduled for review on January 5th, 2018. This allows us time for a chance for additional action.

The review process, called a conference, is when the justices consider whether to grant cert on certain petitions. When a petition is conferenced, the justices can (1) deny the petition, (2) grant the petition, or (3) relist the petition (which means they don’t take action and mark it to be considered at another conference). We have been advised, with the exception of the long conference after the summer break, the Court does not usually grant a cert unless a petition has been relisted. A relisted petition is one that has been scheduled for two consecutive conferences.

The really good news is that only four of the nine Justices are needed to vote in favor to grant the case to move forward.

What we are asking for is that each of you send in one letter to each of those justices likely to rule in favor to grant the Rinehart case on the basis of the facts of the case, the intent of congress, mining law and the actual question before the court. We only need to send in one letter but need to do it in a manner which ensures it arrives in time to have an effect before the conference.

Here is our sample letter that you can copy and paste, add your name and address and print out to mail in:

» Sample Letter to The Supreme Court of The United States

We are also recommending that you print out and enclose the formal letter that has been sent to Donald Trump by our attorney:

http://www.goldgold.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Letter-to-President-Trump-12-8-17.pdf

You can also create your own letter from these talking points, from what you already know, and just ask the court for the case to be heard. Like I said earlier the federal government certainly gets in our way in some places, some states are determined to stop mineral development on the federal lands. This is especially true in California, Oregon and Washington.

We must create such a large commotion over this that the court will grant the Rinehart writ to be heard. We are reaching out to all of the other mining organizations to develop a concentrated effort in this last big push.

For as long as we have been fighting to recover our mining rights, there has never been a more important time to make our voices heard. Our future, and to a large degree, America's future, hangs in the balance which very well might swing our way if we all make a lot of noise right now!

Thanks for all you can do,

Dave Mack

The Thank You part got left off

Dear Fellow Prospector,

First of all, I want to thank you for the response you provided to our recent Action Alert! We received some very good feedback from the mining community and believe we have also received some additional positive traction carried forth by those through Face Book.

We apologize for such short notice but the Solicitor General’s brief came out late Wednesday night and there was concern that it would be part of the Supreme Court’s review process that Friday. The good news is it was not reviewed at that time and is currently scheduled for review on January 5th, 2018. This allows us time for a chance for additional action.

I will put your name and address on them and print them for you.

All you have to do is stamp and put in the mail.

Merry Christmas to all~
Sam

BUMP, be sure to get these out. And don't forget to keep the daily letters to the White House up.

BUMP: Still time for snail mail to the courts. Just like gold, these letters are a volume thing. Also daily love notes via e mail too. No need to bother the PIO for the court now that hard copies are going to the justices.

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas
