We the Chihene NDE Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache are protesting the drilling on our sacred land and springs. The springs have been known to heal our people. Now the Sullivan Ranch in Socorro County in New Mexico is applying for a drilling permit.The hearing is set for December 1, 2009 at 6p.m.at the Civic Center Auditorium at 400 west Fourth St. in Truth or Consequences New Mexico. The permit if approved, will allow the drilling for Beryllium.CBD victims first develop “beryllium sensitization”‚ which is an allergic response to beryllium. Symptoms of the disease include cough‚ shortness of breath‚ fatigue‚ fevers‚ skin rash‚ and night sweats. In the later stages‚ lung tissue becomes scarred. In severe cases‚ the right side of the heart may be strained due to increased pressure in the pulmonary artery from lung damage. (Beryllium‚ a Chronic Problem‚ Environmental Health Perspectives; Diseases Due to Inorganic Dusts‚ Merck Manual).

Please sign the petition at ehttp://www.ipetitions.com/petition/sacredland? or send a letter with your concerns, send no later than Nov. 20th.

I don't know if anyone told you, but you spelled the title wrong. I did not know that the land could be scared of anything.

Uh, Oh...another rape of the land. Ok, hope you don't mind, but this belongs wherever it can be seen, so as a new friend of yours, I will share it on my FACEBOOK. Thank you for becoming a friend, and I will help by writing a letter TODAY, in addition to signing the online petition.

I did write a long letter to Brancard in the Comments section (here) and have a pretty close to what I actually sent, copy in my Gmail Account. I wondered where these comments go to? The letter written would be what I would say in a letter directly to Brancard, so did I just do that?

If not, I do have that copy, and can send vie email, but I found more effective is a hand written letter directly mailed to the person.

Just curious, where did my comment go?

:)

Just to clarify, I did click on the petition, and after reading that, proceeded with my comment. So still don't know where it went :)

You did right to him directly. I and my people thank you for your help. This is greatly appreciated. I would thank everyone who help our mother earth.Blessings to you and all your family.

I am sending a copy of what I wrote to Bill Brancard, including the link, onto friends, of which I have included you, so you will see what I have said. Perhaps some of them will get involved also! Thank you for replying, I feel strongly about issues like this. I will, though, follow up with a written letter, maybe change the wording a little but get the point across. I think that makes a difference also. I am happy to help, and am delighted to have your blessings. It is written from my heart, even though terminology might be more scientific to bang into some people's heads :)

The meeting for the permit is on December1,2009. Do you have any ideas what else I can try and do? I have 1200 friends on facebook and I've tried there. What else can I do? I cannot let this happen for someone else's monetary gain. Thank you for all you do. Blessings.

I have been spending time going through my history to find the email I began, that included by sharing, what I had written, and was filling the "send to" with all friends who would be interested in this. Somehow I lost the window, and email I was just about done with, and by using my entire history for today, trying to find what exactly I did write. I do have a copy that is very similar, and may use that to post and send to people. I am not having any luck finding the missing "share" email to Facebook.

I don't know right now what else to do, I have to think about that, because I didn't see your comment until just now. I will though, think about what else can be done. I will go over all the material you've linked to, and see what I can think of. I've had to battle a Goliath before, so it isn't new to me. Mostly, awareness, then action...does the most good. I would suggest hand written letters, online petitions sometimes simply get filtered out, other times they crash the person, or Company's system! So doing all of it, signing the petition, writing a letter, and calling the phone number after reading all information possible, and emailing with the address you've supplied; if all interested people did ALL of that, it would be a bigger impact. I do have your link or something on my Facebook, where people can read and follow the link, but I had wanted to be more specific and show an example letter, that I did send to that man. I have to think...I will get back with you tonight or tomorrow, after it settles into my brain and I've had a chance to think. That is a promise, however I don't know how much I can suggest. I do agree, this cannot be allowed to happen. I have some experience in these things, I'll send you a note or message when I can think some more, instead of writing everything right here, unless it might be direct help. Right now, count on the Creator not to allow desecration anymore, the Earth cannot take it, and eventually will be as sick as the People are when in contact with this kind of hazardous chemicals. Not to mention, the sickness in man because of the damage to their land.

1200 people on Facebook is a great thing, an excellent way to create awareness! Sorry, I missed that part of your reply. So I'll get it on my Facebook as frankly and specific as I can, make it a feature cause, and then think.
