"That is completely FINE by me. Tells me BOTH SIDES , PRO or CON, recognize the IMPORTANCE of the DEIS."
But, in a way, they are cheating.
Environmental groups, such as the large influential World Wildlife Fund are sending e-mails to the general public outside of Alaska to flood the US Army Corps of Engineers with anti-Pebble mail.
I live in Texas, not even close to Alaska and I received this in my e-mail.
(PS at one time, years ago, I signed one of their petitions to help with conservation methods of the monarch butterfly. I get e-mails from them almost every other week.)

Enough is Enough. Say NO to Pebble Mine.
The Pebble Mine in Alaska is the wrong mine in the wrong place. The people who depend on a healthy Bristol Bay for their livelihoods and way of life have been emphatic on that point. As have hundreds of thousands of Americans. Repeatedly. And we're calling on our Activists to speak up again.
We need your help stopping Pebble dead in its tracks by urging the US Army Corps of Engineers to reject Pebble's plans for the project. If developed, the mine and supporting infrastructure would run continuously for 24 years, and (according to the current plan) could continue for generations.
The Pebble Mine would destroy thousands of acres of wetlands and miles of salmon streams. It would include a one-mile-wide and one-third-of-a-mile deep pit and construct massive tailings storage facilities, treatment ponds, and dams and embankments and build a 270-megawatt power plant.
Why do we need your help again?
Stopping this bad idea has become a recurring nightmare. Back in 2014, Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Administrator moved to restrict development of the mine through provisions of the Clean Water Act after considering the findings of an exhaustive four-year study of the mine's potential impacts.
A legal challenge stalled the final decision from 2014 until October 2017, when former EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt directed his staff to withdraw the plan to protect the watershed of Bristol Bay, and the Pebble Limited Partnership began an accelerated permitting process.
Click this: I say NO to the Pebble Mine ?
The time to act is now. The public comment period for the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) extends only until May 30th. This will be the last formal opportunity for us to raise our objections together. Take a stand today and help us protect Bristol Bay once and for all. Tell the US Government: NO to the Pebble Mine.
………….
And of course their write up is full of fake facts. The general public would not know this.
