Thank You

Front 40 would like to thank everyone who has supported us in our environmental fight against the Back Forty (proposed mine) Project.

That includes everyone who: wrote letters to the editor, attended forums, asked questions in public meetings, contributed financially, put out yard signs, spoke up at environmental meetings, wrote letters to DEQ, attended township and county meetings and voiced their opinions, spoke up in private meetings with friends and neighbors, wrote letters to government officials, helped in any way with our efforts to inform private citizens and elected officials about the realities surrounding metalic sulfide mineral mining.

Front 40 Environmental Fight has been involved in this effort for the last 12 years. We need your continued support and encouragement. We must continue this difficult, grass-roots work against a well-organized and well-financed adversary.

If we find ourselves hesitant to speak up and share our thoughts, we may benefit from the advice of Dr. Karam, a one-time Prime Minister of India, when he says, “Let difficulties know that you, too, are difficult.”

Let’s continue to voice our environmental concerns.

It is the feeling of Front 40 that, inasmuch as, the mining interest does not have all the pertinent information needed for the DEQ to approve/disapprove the mining application, a final decision should be delayed.

– Front 40
