twitterLetter: Government is trespassing
Tuesday, Oct. 1, 2002 | 9:08 a.m.
What does the 1987 "Screw Nevada" legislation have in common with the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty? Both involve tyranny and deception on the part of the federal government!
The 1987 legislation was against Nevada and Nevadans, and the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty legislation effort was against the Western Shoshone Nation. Both involve Yucca Mountain, which, under the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty, is included as Western Shoshone land.
Phone Senator Harry Reid and Senator John Ensign to get an explanation of their efforts to force the Western Shoshone Nation to accept compensation. Under the treaty there is a cloud on the title to Yucca Mountain.
The DOE is trespassing! The Western Shoshone Nation has rights to Yucca Mountain under the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty.
