Looking for an Opportunity to Paddle?

     If you live in central Minnesota and you’re against the mining proposed in the state then you have an opportunity to go paddling on the 22nd.  If you don’t feel like paddling then you can still show your lack of support for mining in the state at the Capitol. Here’s the information…

**Welcome the Precious Waters Canoe Flotilla to the Twin Cities**
