Indus Abuse - Loosing our Protections
We are gradually being sold out on many of our hard earned protections - a country that prides itself to be the best democracy is turning out be nothing but a pretence... First its the protection for the pharmas (vaccines) then its the U.S IRAQI OIL IMMUNITY (8 min. CBC audio interview) and now "a law that gives away publicly owned minerals, contains no environmental standards, and maintains a 19th century land disposal ethic..."

Interior Secretary Gale Norton and Interior Solicitor William Myers are considering eliminating the one provision of the 1872 Mining Law that protects the public interest. The millsite provision prevents the multinational mining industry from dumping its toxic mine waste on unlimited amounts of public lands.
And there is plenty of toxic mine waste to go around. The HARDROCK MINING INDUSTRY IS THE NATION'S LARGEST TOXIC POLLUTER -- according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the mining industry releases almost half of the nation's toxic waste.
PLEASE ACT NOW, by clicking below, to send a letter to Secretary Norton and Solicitor Myers urging them not to cave in to the demands of the largest toxic polluter in the United States, the hardrock mining industry.
You can take action on this alert asap at:
