Special interest groups are circulating a petition under the guise of trying to stop the Pebble project. But, this initiative would affect far more than one project and could shut down all large-scale mining in Alaska. IF YOU WANT a sustainable economy for rural Alaska, DO NOT SIGN THIS PETITION. We have limited opportunities and this initiative would destroy all hope of developing an economy that provides jobs for our youth in the villages.

This initiative could:

• Prohibit development of prospects like Donlin Creek, which brings jobs, hope and revenue to the Calista region.
• Shut down existing mines, including Red Dog, Fort Knox, Pogo, Kensingston, Green's Creek, Rock Creek and Big Hurrah.
• Unfairly TAKE JOBS AND REVENUE AWAY FROM RURAL ALASKA.
• End large-scale mining in Alaska and the many benefits it provides to all Alaskans.
• Direct benefits like the $10.9 million Red Dog expects to pay this year to the Northwest Arctic Borough as their payment in lieu of taxes.
• Jeopardize thousands of jobs that keep village economies healthy. Red Dog alone paid more than $20 million in wages to the Native people working at the mine.
• Threaten tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to local non-profits and scholarship programs to train Alaska Natives for Alaska mining jobs.

The Red Dog Mine provides the economic engine for the Northwest Arctic Borough, its residents and all Alaska Natives through resource sharing.

WE CANNOT AFFORD TO ENDANGER THIS RELATIONSHIP.

Learn as much as you can and say "no thanks" when the petition gatherers ask you to sign the anti-mining initiative. The initiative is not about one project. It's about an effort to shut down Alaska's future.
