Not a lot of extra time today because I've been volunteering, getting the word out about dealing with the continual attack on our lands and oceans. I'll post a few here, and may get to posting more later.  First I am posting a link to the House Resource Committee Hearing on HR 4532 , their current attack on Bears Ears. What's very sad is how many politicians, because of their greed and lack of value system. What is also bothersome are those who also appear connected to Bears Ears but what they say seems far from the truth. You can make your own educated decision about that yourselves while watching, but before you do, make sure you know the actual facts first.  If you haven't already, please submit your comments to oppose the  The first two are from the same subscription site, but you can read the first two paragraphs: Feds Seek Quick Win in Dakota Access Pipeline Permit Fight Enviros Say Dakota Access Attys Sued Philosophy, Not Entity Banks gives pipe...

This is in reference to the Bears Ears National Monument.  Please help by contacting your Representatives in Congress @ (202)224-3121, and ask that they oppose HR 4532 which will turn over "to county officials, the Utah Stat e legislature, the Utah delegation, and Native American representatives picked by President Trump, rather than the sovereign Tribes. In addition, H.R. 4532 only considers and includes 2 of the 5 tribes who hold ancestry here. Finally, H.R. 4532 would ratify the boundaries set forth in President Trump's bone-chilling proclamation." Just like the GOP Tax Bill that recently passed and was signed into law,  the  is still another sham.  Utah Diné Bikéyah are  asking this be done before January 9 when the hearing is scheduled.  Thank  you in advance!
