ADN writes article about Shannyn Moore's shocking expose on the Pebble Mine initiative. Well good at least they are linking to SOME progressive blogs!

Alaska blogger and Pebble opponent Shannyn Moore two days ago wrote a provocative blog postabout Tim Griffin, an Outside Republican strategist and former DOJ attorney who mentioned to an Arkansas journalist that he worked on the anti-Ballot Measure 4 media campaign last year.

Moore basically traces his past political activities and questions why Griffin would come to Alaska for the “clean water” Measure 4 fight.

She writes:

Wow! So Karl Rove’s right hand man and special assistant to George W. Bush, under Congressional investigation for felony vote caging, got on a plane “over 20 times last year” to work against Ballot Proposition 4, the Clean Water Initiative? That’s a pretty big gun to get on that many flights – even if they were first class seats. Tim Griffin basically spent 40 days from May to August on planes going back and forth between Anchorage and Little Rock!
So what ties does Griffin have to Alaska, Moore asks.

I am so proud of my pal Shannyn that I could burst! This is a very important, and potentially history making story, and SHE is the one that broke it.

I certainly hope that ADN keeps that in mind when they decide whether to link to our blogs or not.

Update: I just talked to Shannyn and she would really like to have people show up to Tanglewood Gold Chalet at 11801 Brayton Drive for a very important town hall meeting on sustainable fisheries and sulfside mines. I am REALLY going to try and make it so I hope to see as many of you there as possible. (Here is the google map link)
