“Having evaluated the so-called “scientific” arguments made in favor of destroying the Klamath River Dams and Drakes Bay Oyster Farm, I and other DRA members conclude these arguments are fraudulent. There is already substantial, credible, and documented scientific analysis provided by Dr. John Menke, Dr. Paul Houser, Dr. Corey Goodman, and others that exposes the information is being intentionally falsified to justify a pre-determined outcome irrespective of the truth or the people.
Continued use of the discredited “science” to justify the destruction of these dams would, in my opinion, be actionable. Individuals could and should be held liable for actual and punitive damages. Fraud defeats any claimed shield of immunity.”
Defend Rural America is a voluntary coalition of Americans that are committed to the truth, the Constitution, and a republican form of government. It has 2,000 members in California and Oregon, and a national reach of over 45,000. We are strongly committed to the preservation of the Klamath River dams.
The KBRA/KHSA seeks to displace the representative governments of 9 counties with a group of unelected, unaccountable, and non-transparent so-called “stakeholders” that would govern the most important resources of these 9 counties, namely, the Klamath River and all that it provides. Many if not most of these “stakeholders” would suffer no consequences of their decisions, as they don’t live or earn their living in these communities.
It is documented nearly 80% of Siskiyou County voters voted to keep the dams, knowing full well their destruction would also destroy the river, the salmon, the current ecosystem, and the county’s economy, communities, and families. There is also no doubt destruction of the dams would violate numerous federal environmental laws, result in damages, and constitute a “take” the size of which would eclipse anything the people have done.

I encourage the Klamath County Commissioners to carefully weigh the decisions they make.
