Water Wars: Navajo Truth Recommends More Ways to Help Stop SB 2109

From a Bear's perspective, the Peoples here in the southwest, with additional support from our regional and  global on-line community are applying pressure to stop SB 2109. However to insure that the Navajo maintain their Water Rights, more solidarity and actions are needed.

An update from Diné Hada’ Asídí The Navajo Vigilant Ones(A Navajo People’s Public Interest Organization) titled "Navajos press president for his stance on water rights theft" was posted with CENSORED NEWS, April 24th, 2012. http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/, which indicates that President Shelly is behaving like any politician who wants to keep his job while at the same time making shady deals at the expense of our water, earth, air and Way of Life.

Navajo Truth however is asking that we keep the politico's fat to the fire. https://www.facebook.com/navajotruth

Write your to the AZ senators and representatives even if you are from another state.

Let them know you are writing to your senator, emailing, reposting petitions, facebooking, telling everyone etc. Let them know this will effect your vote.
Someone find the contact info for the companies pushing this. They should get letters and phone calls too. They are the power behind this and need to feel some heat and get some serious publicity BY NAME as to what they are doing.
Send a hand written letter by mail to your Senator. Turns out these are weighted as representing more people than emailing.
Post a sign on your lawn Stop SB 2109
If you know anyone in the media, call and alert them of the issue. This has interested and appalled every non-native I have explained the issue to.
Can anyone come up with clever protest sign slogans, I haven't got one but I loved the "navajos drink kool-aid too"
Leaders of other tribes speak up. What effects one tribe effects us all.

I'll think of more later but I thought so many people are upset about this that having a list of simple ways to help allow for people to make a difference."
