In just a few days,
Congress is scheduled to vote on a bill that would force the Western Shoshone
Nation of Nevada to sell twenty-four million acres of their land to the US
government, and at a price of 15 cents an acre!
Worse, it seems that,
if this bill passes, much of this land could be turned over to mining, energy
and nuclear interests. Sacred Shoshone sites could become gold mines and nuclear
test sites -- despite the objections of the Western Shoshone!
But you can help stop
this! Please email your Representative today! Urge him or her to vote NO on the
Western Shoshone Distribution Bill (HR 884/S 618). Just click on the link below.
