What is it that the foreigners don't understand? Alaska doesn't want them up here digging and polluting the streams. Something of this magnitude should be voted upon by the people of the state! Why are these things even permitted to be started in the first place. Why are foreign companies allowed to drill in Alaska hills, pollute streams and steal gold. If you went out and polluted a stream or even looked like you would wouldn't it be stopped especially ones with Alaska Wild Salmon possibilities. Pebble what is it about not wanting you here that you don't understand? If you have trouble with the President's English  I'm sure a translator could be found.
