Today at 6:29 PM Evelyn, hidden in the military spending bill that is moving through Congress is a package that trades Apache ancestral lands to a foreign mining company, Rio Tinto PLC. The Senate will be voting on the bill very soon. Add your signature to the petition demanding the land grab be stopped. Swapping conservation and ancestral Apache lands in order to line the pockets of a foreign mining company is not acceptable. Republicans have been trying to steal this land for years, and they have finally hidden it well enough in the current defense bill that passed in the House on December 4th. We have to strip this provision out of the bill before it passes the Senate. Conservationists and Democrats have stood alongside the San Carlos Apache Tribe for years in their fight to preserve this land. Now they need even more support. Sign the petition letting Congress know that stealing conservation and ancestral Apache lands in order to line the pockets of a foreign mining company is not acceptable. Keep Fighting, Carissa Miller, Daily Kos
