Is Granite having a 'panic attack?'

Have you noticed all the ads, publicity and letters submitted by “Friends of Liberty” (started by Granite employee Karrie Reuther)? Have you noticed the meetings Granite is holding both in Temecula and Fallbrook?

Could it be the surge of support against the (proposed) Liberty quarry project is beginning to worry them?

Temecula, Murrieta, Rainbow and Fallbrook residents are incensed by the invasion of an open pit strip mine into our communities! There is no way we will let this happen to our hills!

When 60 medical doctors say, “This is bad for the health of the community” and close to 400 businesses and nonprofit groups say, “We don’t want this mine here! This is where we live,” we may have gotten Granite’s attention.

Why else would they spend money on publicity? Could they be having a “panic attack?”

We may not have the money this Goliath of a company has to fight with, but we have what they will never have: people! Thousands and thousands (almost 30,000 by now) of supporters willing to do whatever it takes to stop this quarry.

The people make us what we are: a focused, dedicated group of residents willing to do whatever is necessary to save our community from becoming an industrial area filled with more quarries.

It is simply unacceptable to put a quarry at this location – so close to our homes and our children’s schools.

What can they be thinking?

Oh yes, we care.
