Alaska Wild Salmon Protection, Inc.
Sounds like a worthy organization, wouldn't you say?
But, apparently, they are not what they appear to be.
I wonder how many more of these "environmental" groups there are.
The problem is, the public isn't likely to find out, unless someone really works hard to untangle the truth...

Amy Ridenour reports at NationalCenter.org:
"A group calling itself Alaska Wild Salmon Protection, Inc. recently ran full-page advertisements (see above) in Politico against development of the Pebble Mine in Southwest Alaska. The Pebble deposit is one of the largest finds in America, believed to contain 72 billion pounds of copper and 94 million ounces of gold, among other minerals.
Alaska Wild Salmon Protection's advertisement was filled with distortions, but more on that later.
I wanted to learn more about the group, so I went to check out its website. It didn't have one.* Odd, I thought, for an environmental group leading local opposition to the Pebble Mine."
