<P>For the last 20 years, a group of grandparents living in rural
Michigan have fought tooth-and-nail as <STRONG>Nestlé pumps hundreds
of thousands of gallons of their water supply every day to sell for
outrageous profit</STRONG>, while their own streams run lower and
lower.</P>
<P>They thought they’d finally reached the finish line -- but a new
court ruling has given them yet another hurdle.</P>
<P><STRONG>Already $100,000 in debt, this dedicated group of
grandparents is getting desperate</STRONG>. We’ve helped them
before, and now they’re asking for help again: a quick flood of cash
to keep their fight going, and keep alive the hope that they can
finally get rid of Nestlé for good.</P>

<P>In November, a state agency handed Nestlé a massive win. Instead
of deciding once and for all to take away Nestlé's permit, the
agency said the final decision wasn’t in its jurisdiction, and
pushed the case to another court… <STRONG>after two years and
$200,000 of legal fees.</STRONG></P>
<P>Nestlé's whole tactic is to bankrupt these groups by keeping them
tangled in the court forever, and this judge played right into their
hands. <STRONG>But these grandparents aren’t giving up, and are
appealing the decision</STRONG>.</P>
<P>The <STRONG>appeal is due <EM>next week</EM> and they simply
don’t have the cash to pay for it</STRONG> -- let alone to keep
pushing for a final decision. Can you help them keep their fight
going? </P>
<P>Every extra bit we raise, we'll put into the fight to stop Nestlé
stealing the water from small communities. </P>
