“Here is your country. Cherish these natural wonders, cherish the natural resources, cherish the history and romance as a sacred heritage, for your children and your children’s children. Do not let selfish men, or greedy interests, skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance.”
Theodore Roosevelt

we need your help in getting this info to all folks

Two things -- we need your help in getting this info attached to all folks --- right away please as this is a HOT Action Alert. Aimed at any and all Houston County, MN residents and folks who wish to learn more -- or if you are elsewhere in the Upper Midwest and know of people in Southeastern MN -- please forward these CRITICAL FLYERS with vital info (ATTACHED).

1) Monday 2/16 there is a EDUCATIONAL FORUM on frac sand mining -- 6:30 pm at La Crescent Community Center, La Crescent Minnesota. Numerous groups are having an incredible educational event on the dangers of frac sand mining. What it is and why it must be banned. This a tremendous presentation and will have some great speakers, including Pat Popple, Doug Nopar, Joseph Morse, Kelley Stanage and others who are deeply concerned about Houston County and Minnesota.
This panel of highly qualified experts will ALSO answer questions after the presentation.  Not to be missed and we must ALL go. (6pm -m 830pm La Crescent - See flyers below and please forward).

2) Wednesday 2/18 -- People are NOW calling the two key Commissioners in Houston County so as to suggest they vote "NO" on frac sand mining. The VOTE could potentially come as early as next Wednesday (2/18). PLEASE GO TO THIS HEARING ON WEDNESDAY. Go to the websites listed and also to the flyers (attached) to learn more. There is apparently an interesting NEW GROUP called F.R.E.E. (Families Resisting Energy Extraction) -- Started by many concerned families in Houston County, Minnesota -- they too have a website shown below.
PLEASE SEE attachments - printable flyers of these two most critcal Houston County events for Monday, 2/16 Forum and Wednesday, 2/18 Hearing.

All people who want to know more about this controversial subject should come to La Crescent, MN this Monday night. Representatives from groups such Land Stewardship Project, Winona CASM Group, Houston County Protectors, Pat Popple, and others will all be present to get citizens up to speed -- answer questions on the true facts of this very high risk industry now expanding to our area.
Two days later -- all without exception -- must come to The County Building in Caledonia, MN on Wednesday 2/18 - 10am. CRITICAL.

It's a very serious time in Houston County. Let's all together attend these events. Learn -- and then go watch democracy in action. Please pass the word to all you know plus print or email the flyer attached.
