STOP THE DESTRUCTION

To the Editor:

Even though I know the devastating pot grows are a product of corrupt 
government and local apathy because of money, it's not too late for 
every citizen that cares about salmon, wildlife and human health to 
take a step back, admit to mistakes and look at the big picture. We 
can change, we can fight this disease of greed and addiction. Every 
person counts, every voice can create actions of response and triage 
to the damage the local growers are doing. It's hard when you see 
20,000 reports of abuse in environment yet not enough enforcers to 
respond. But if we get outside help, anything is possible. Write the 
president, write to the governor and support any official advocating 
getting salmon murderers, and human health destroyers, out of our 
county. Salmon is the life blood of our whole ecosystem. Used to be 
sacred. To myself it still is. Water is life. Start to believe in the 
fact that our health is tied to our earths health and we can change 
our area one parcel at a time.

Email Water Defense, think of fish and game as important as fire 
fighters or police. Because the drugs that people care about more 
than their own health are killing everything, including themselves. A 
real patient can grow their own small amount of the drug, stop the 
lie and the farce of dealers that everyone is sick. Not true. Change 
is possible, at least we have to try.
