Senator Wyden’s office, Republican party officials, and many local
conservatives to support and work for protecting the ancient forests and
outstanding salmon habitat found in the Copper Salmon Roadless area."

of Friends of Elk River, on the influence of "Copper Salmon: A Call

"There
was a clear change of mind after viewing ‘Taking a Second Look’.
Our town council was divided on the very contentious decision of whether
to repair or remove the Collegeville dam. Only after watching the video
did everyone wholeheartedly support removing the publicly owned dam, and
we voted 5-0 in favor of dam removal."

Stagliano, Town Councilwoman, Collegeville Borough, Pennsylvania
"The
video (Rough & Ready Creek) was instrumental in gaining public support,
empowering activists, and getting 5,000 comments to the Forest Service.
According to the agency, the public support we generated with the video
gave them the cover to make better management decisions. The video has
helped us turn this issue around."

"I
distributed ‘Logs, Lies & Videotape’ to primarily East Coast
Republicans and Democrats who were targeted for cosponsorship of the Furse
