RAID ALERT!
-----------
WESTERN SHOSHONE UNDER THREAT OF ATTACK!
========================================

It appears that the U.S. government is planning a move against the Western
Shoshone and the Dann family in Nevada. According to Firefly, Coordinator of
the Western Shoshone Defense Project, the Battle Mountain (Nevada) newspaper
contained an official notice that the BLM will confiscate all livestock found
grazing without permit on "federal" lands near the Dann ranch. In addition,
the local sheriff, Tom Jones, has recently installed a significant amount of
high-powered radio equipment. Finally, out-of-state cowboys have been hired
for a federal round-up campaign.

Two weeks ago, the Shoshone were promised peace by Don Moon, who represented
Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt at a Western Shoshone National COuncil
Meeting. Considering the U.S. history of lies in the Dann case, it can only be
assumed that Moon was trying to placate the Shoshone prior to a raid by U.S.
agents.

The Shoshone desparately need your help! If you can go to Nevada, do so
IMMEDIATELY. To get instructions and directions, contact the Western Shoshone
Defense Project at 702/468-0230, or call me at 719/633-5229. Go with the
intent to help in whatever way you are needed. The Danns are quickly running
out of funds and time; your support could tip the balance in their favor.

I will post more in the next 24 hours.
