“I had never had somebody just run over me like this. I’m an American, I have property, I have rights. And here comes corporate America saying, ‘No, we’re just going to do what we want.’ I had lived a sheltered life until that moment.” - Eric Ewing, Weld County resident

PLEASE -- go to the link, read the article. You'll get some idea of what it's like to live in what has come to be known as a "sacrifice zone". I love it here, I was born in this state 66 years ago, and have lived in this community for 35 of those years. My doctors tell me that I'll live longer if I move away. And the mere thought of leaving my home is breaking my heart.
