Sept. 30th - 2002: Join the Convoy on to Sacramento for a fundraiser at high noon! From here the Sawgrass Convoy heads on to Reno and across the country to Florida.
The goal of the Klamath, Oregon to Florida convoy is to raise as much money as possible to aid the farmers who had their water cut off last year, many of whom are still on the verge of bankruptcy; and to aid farmers and property owners in south Florida who have been flooded as the result of federal government policies.
1. In Klamath, the single year loss for 2001 exceeded $130 million! The losses to the Florida farmers and property owners exceeds $100 million!
2. The Relief Convoy will tie the country together from northwest to southeast including the midwest and eastern seaboard.
3. To educate the American public on the great injustices being done to the rural people of America by radical environmental bureaucrats of the Endangered Species Act and other policies and laws.
