Another Chance to Oppose the Arizona Gun Bill

April 26, 2011Matthew L.M. Fletcher

Ya’a’teeh abini,

Please be advised that the AZ governor has the state gun bill (SB 1610)before her to sign or to veto. I urge you to contact her and urge her not to sign the bill into law.

The honoring of any gun is offensive to Native Americans. Guns were used to kill Native Americans and take everything that belong to them. They were used to put Native Americans on reservations.

Please get involved. Here’s the contact info:
Honorable Jan Brewer
Governor of Arizona
1700 West Washington
Phoenix, AZ 85007
