Hi Everyone,

Will you folks please sign our online petition?

Thanks.

The Concerned Citizens and Retired Miners Group in Superior, Arizona is very concerned regarding the potential swap of one of the most stunning recreational sites in the world-located just 5 miles East of Superior-Oak Flat Campground. Located in the Tonto National Forest, Oak Flat Campground was set aside for recreational purposes by Executive Order from President Dwight Eisenhower in 1955 and was to be protected from future development, and in particular, inviolate to mining. Now Resolution Copper Company, a foreign-owned mining company, wants to own this land. They have taken a proposed land swap to Congress and bypassed the public process. If this proposed legislation passes and the mine owns this spectacular area, it will be excluded from public visitation and recreation-and it will be destroyed! We urge you as members of the public who care about what happens to our treasured public lands to speak out against this land swap. Sign our petition and pass it along to your friends and neighbors. Thank you. We need 20,000 signatures in 30 days on a petition to stop Congress giving great public land--and the sacred Apache Leap over to a mining company. Please sign and send to at least 20 people in U.S. This is a national issue! All the details are at http://www.mining-law-reform.info/ www.mining-law-reform.info website, or you can link directly to the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/coop2468/petition.html http://www.petitiononline.com/coop2468/petition.html

This seemed like a worthy cause to get involved in. It will only take a few minutes, and if everyone sends it to the people in their email address's, it might just make a difference.

In numbers, there is strength. Perhaps, even enough power to change an entire government's thinking. :o

Respectfully,

Joe Ribaudo

All,

This is really a sensitive area, so anyone who cares about Arizona being sold to foreign interests should take the time to place your vote. It's very simple and takes less than a minute to have your voice count.

Thanks,

Joe Ribaudo
