I just posted this topic on the other board. I think its worth posting here.

I have been reading some disturbing articles regarding Ms. Palin and her support of the Pebble Mine near Bristol bay Alaska. This mine (copper and gold) would likely wipe out the largest Sockeye salmon run. I originally thought that Palin would fight the mine, since her husband is a bristol bay fisherman, but I guess the almighty $ got to her. What a sell out.

Did you read the bio's of the board members for the truth about pebble organization.

Not surprising that pretty much all of them have business ties to mining.
