Defenders of the Black Hills

January 2012, Newsletter - 1st Quarter

January, 2012 Newsletter - 1st Quarter

Hello Defenders!

In this Issue are offered a number of ways you can help the environment, and the health of all the people. Included are a couple of petitions and letters that were sent to you before, but we are still offering them as more and more people want to sign. We are hoping you would mail them yourself directly to President Obama, or to the Secretary of Health, or Mrs. Obama. By doing that, you will save all of us time, money and paper. If you wish, you could also personally write to the addressee on the petition or letters and bring your own point of view. The squeaky wheel gets the most grease, so we are hoping by sending more and more petitions and letters, if one of them catches the attention of the powers-that-be, then maybe something can get done…and you will have been a part of that.
