It seems like the everyday person in our county we are fighting someone in our county whose greed override clean water, air and land.    I do extreme research in all my postings plus I do it because I feed it is my heart desire to protect our land, air, water and our rights.  I guess my concerns is to protect our Mother Earth  and the concerns may comes from my Native American Great Grandmother:  Moon Pleasant.
