The following email was written by a leader in the Klamath Basin Crisis.

"Calvin Dooley was the only Democrat from California that opposed the Blumenauer amendment to eliminate row crops and funding for administration of new leases in 2003. (342 thousand administrative costs in 2000 compared to 1.5 to 2.0 million in lease revenue generated annually). This amendment could have devastated the Tulelake community, the hunting program and eliminated a large portion of the food source and habitat for migrating waterfowl and other wildlife species.

"All of the Republicans supported Walden and Herger on this vote. The amendment failed 223 to 201.

"I plan to send letters to both those who support and those that oppose the Lease Land Farm Program. Representatives such as Farr, Capps, Condit and others who claim to be "pro agriculture" should not have supported this amendment. I have no idea why Thompson is becoming so involved ."
