Copco Lake — In the recent elections, Siskiyou County voters gave a landslide majority (11,000-plus votes) in not wanting dams removed on the Klamath River.

Klamath County voters were almost a majority (10,736 votes) in not wanting to be involved in the process. The “will of the people” has been established as a new stakeholder –  stakeholder that does not want to be part of this stinking process but a tremendous force that now needs to be dealt with.

This turn of events now begs another question. Why should I, one of the 22,000 voters against dam removal, now turn around and buy products from stakeholder groups that want dams removed? From now on, Klamath basin potatoes, horseradish and cereal grains that can be identified will no longer be in my house. Hopefully, other voters will make a similar choice. Each voter can also take this same message to friends and relatives throughout the nation. Further, ask your grocer to stock products from Idaho and Washington. Why should anyone support stakeholders/organizations that are against the “will of the people”?
