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.
