Dear Juli,     
_Help Protect Native American  Lands!_ (http://act.oxfamamerica.or
g/campaign/shoshone_blm/85765k92dd8mnn?)   
The US Bureau of Land Management is currently reviewing a  proposal to expand 
the Cortez Hills Project. If approved, it  would be one of the country's 
largest gold mines. The project would  disturb over 6,500 acres of public land—all 
of which are considered  traditional lands by the Western Shoshone. We 
urgently need your  help to convince the US government to deny this  proposal.

_Click here to sign our petition calling on the US  government to deny 
further mining on traditional  lands._

The entire area lies within  Western Shoshone boundaries of the 1863 Treaty 
of Ruby Valley, which  recognized Shoshone rights to this land. The area 
includes Mount  Tenabo, an extremely significant spiritual and cultural area to the  
Western Shoshone. Many Shoshone have long expressed deep concerns  and 
outright opposition to any further exploration on their lands,  without their free, 
prior, and informed consent. The US Bureau of  Land Management is currently 
taking comments on this proposal until  Dec. 4. We are calling on our supporters 
to join with us in signing  the petition urging the bureau to reject this 
proposal. _Please sign the petition  today!_

Thank you for standing with Oxfam  and the Western Shoshone.

Sincerely,  
Tim Fullerton
Oxfam America
