These are the people who are doing everything they can to save the basin, and it's community from government and green machine ruination. They have put out over 210 tons of hay for livestock, $100,000 in saving people's mortgages and farm machinery, $20,000 directly to kids clothing and food at schools, $20,000 to people they have heard about, but would never ask for help. These numbers are from early Febuary.
Bill Ransom, Barb Hall, the Carlsons, the Kings, and a bunch of the good people in the basin are doing everything they can to help people hold on. The Klamath Bucket Brigade is has no paid help - it is people helping people. We believe Bush is supporting the basin....but it will take a while to see any monies( and I'm not talking subsidies or "other" socialist garbage- these people were cheated out of there crops last year, and are hurting because of government and the green machine)....meanwhile people need help to keep from going bankrupt till they can get a season with water.Want to help America to remain a strong place place? Anything you can afford to send to these people goes DIRECTLY TO THOSE IN NEED - no overhead or other "charity fees" happen here.
Every spare nickel I've had in the last nine months has gone to the basin.
