Justice for the San Carlos Apache Tribe


Justice for the San Carlos Apache Tribe
The Issue
The Arizona San Carlos Apache Tribe is fighting (Peacefully) for land that is theirs under 2 laws (treaties) signed by Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon. This isn't just any land. This is Apache Sacred Holy land named Oak Flats. It has been Holy land to the Apache for centuries.
Senator John McCain cut some sort of deal with a mega international copper company called Resolution Copper. The Resolution Copper Company wants Oak Flats to install a copper mine. Both Arizona Republican U.S. Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain worked on a proposition that was voted in on the 11th hour and snuck into an important Military Bill that President Obama signed into law. U.S. Senator John McCain broke 2 laws to make one law to profit a giant corporation.
I want President Obama to sign a new treaty that would make the two former treaties valid again!
