You have to know more then that, let us in on what is going to be talked about.
That's all we got in the e-mail.
We'll see tomorrow.
That sucks, thanks for the update, man!
Hopefully its a "significant development" AGAINST the mine ! All the grass roots and organised petitioners are doing a great job so far, lets hope it all works in the end.
Greedy Bastards shouldn't be allowed within 100 miles of good fishin :)
Was talking with someone about Pebble and an upcoming meeting. He kept me pretty much in the dark, but said that it may well be a jaw-dropper. Can't really wait to hear what the poop-scoop comes up with on this one.
I'm going to call in.
