The petition I started on April 4 to stop Senate Bill 2109 from being considered by the U.S. Senate has reached 8,963 signatures to date. The bill, which was proposed by Arizona Senators Jon Kyl and John McCain, will force the Navajo and Hopi nations to give up all water rights to the Peabody Coal Mining Company and the Salt River Project and other owners of the Navajo Generating Station (NGS) in exchange for no compensation. It also will prevent any litigation by the Navajo and Hopi nations should they incur future financial losses or physical harm as a result of water depletion and / or water contamination. Kyl and McCain created the bill as a way to honor the centennial of Arizona’s statehood. My first goal is to have the petition reach at least 10,000 signatures. As I stated before, the Hopi and Navajo nations aren’t comprised of the helpless uneducated Indians the state of Arizona and the rest of the nation knew a century ago. Thanks to all who have signed it and please keep this going. View the petition here.
