		<description>Wendy - thanks for your comment, I really appreciate you taking the time to post it. 

You&#039;ve stated many of the same things we believe, which is why we think Minnesotans need to have an informed debate about this issue, fully realizing what the trade-offs are. 

Clean water will be one of the most precious resources in the world soon... with Minnesota&#039;s tremendous clean water resources, it seems silly to risk them for short-term gains.

Thanks again.</description>

		<description>I just saw a piece about your organization on the news. Best of luck.

I understand that people want jobs but mining/oil drilling that destroys nature is not the answer. It&#039;s an unacceptable, temporary fix. Why do we continually want to exploit and deplete resources rather than find new ways to fuel the economy? 

I hear people say they dont want to pass on a huge deficit to our children and grandchildren. I wish they would be concerned with passing on a green earth full of beautiful creatures and clean water.</description>
