Demand Government TakeOver Of Native American Lands In Arizona Stop

This week, the House and Senate Armed Services Committees quietly attached a provision to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would mandate the handover of a large tract of Tonto National Forest to Resolution Copper, a subsidiary of the Australian-English mining company Rio Tinto, which co-owns with Iran a uranium mine in Africa and which is 10-percent-owned by China.
The “Carl Levin and Howard P. ‘Buck’ McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015” – named after the retiring chairmen of the Senate and House Armed Services panels – includes the giveaway of Apache burial, medicinal, and ceremonial grounds currently within the bounds of Tonto. News of the land provision was kept under wraps until late Tuesday, when the bill was finally posted online.
The land proposed to be given to Resolution Copper, in exchange for other lands, includes prime territory Apaches have used for centuries to gather medicinal plants and acorns, and it is near a spot known as Apache Leap, a summit that Apaches jumped from to avoid being killed by settlers in the late 19th century.

I think it is just more evidence of the federal government's end game. They want to control all land and greatly reduce private ownership. Though a few thousand jobs are needed, there is no reason that landowners can not strike their own deals and benefit from such. This is just more socialism. The federal government owns way too much land in this country. This is not an article that will likely strike at the hearts of most conservatives, but it should. This is about much more than the rights of native Americans, though I don't mean to diminish that angle. It is about the rights of every American. The jobs that might be created are used as a way of sugar coating the fact that we are all slowly being sold out.
