Subject: [cpr] RE Christo's Over the River Project
Message-ID: <AANLkTilHeYDLbDOaZEQYa5noOoT4cENKVBn2xdtQ2vdP@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

Christo's project would be a disaster, not for two weeks--but for years of
construction prior to completion.

Below are some links forwarded from a local grassroots volunteer
organization formed years ago (ROAR) to oppose Christo's debacle.

They are currently analyzing the EIS to develop points to oppose the project
via the EIS.

Also forwarded below is a recent ROAR email with links to people who can be
contacted to oppose the project.

ROAR is worthy of your support.

Thanks,



 Jay Gingrich,

Buena Vista

The Denver Post is currently conducting a survey to vote for or against the
OTR project.  Currently running 65% against, 14% for, some undecided or
don't care.  As we have been told by the BLM, "this is not a vote", but the
hard reality of public opinion sometimes has an effect.  (Or just to make
yourselves feel good for the day).  Also below are links to your favorite
politicians and newspapers that Christo has on his website - you may impress
them with who you will hold accountable should the project be allowed.
