Don't give in to ONRC
Published March 18, 2003
"ONRC urges irrigators to sell out." Rubbish.
I don't know about anyone else in this valley, but I'm sick and tired of seeing this rubbish every night on the front page of the Herald and News.
Like all the farmers in the area, we got that awful note from the Oregon Natural Resources Council and did not even open the piece of trash. Into the burn barrel it flew. That note and your newspaper are not fit to line a bird cage, or even start my morning fire.
I believe we are in America the last time I checked?
What gives ONRC, or any other terrorist environmentalist group, the right to tell farmers they need to sell their land and move out?
Who voted or made them God?
This is America - "land of the free and home of the brave." I still believe in the American dream and freedoms. I hope you do, too. Don't let them or anyone tell you to move out.
These groups have a master plan to break the spirit of the American farmer and ruin America. They know if they can control the American farmer, then they can control anyone they wish.
Are you stupid enough to believe they really care anything at all about those poor sucker fishes, animals, spotted owls or the really big pawn, the Native Americans? I don't think so, and I know you don't think so either.
Remember, fellow farmers, that from the beginning of time, we have been the backbone of America. If the American farmer goes, who will be next?
I won't know if my letter gets printed or not. The reason is, I will be calling Herald and News to cancel our 35-year subscription to this newspaper.
I don't want to see any more headlines about terrorists in our own country trying to take our land, our lives and dreams. I don't want to read about our brave sons and daughters going off to war to fight terrorism in a foreign country when their land is being stolen from their families here in America.
In closing, my fellow American farmers, stay united and don't give in to the ONRC or any other environmentalist group.
