   WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:   
   Stop Apache Land Grab   
      
   Hidden in recent defense bill was a package granting illegal land swap near   
   Superior, Ariz., for the benefit of a foreign company Rio Tinto PLC who seek   
   to mine   
   copper.   
      
   Resolution Copper -- a Rio Tinto venture with BHP Billiton Ltd. -- would be   
   given more than 2,000 acres of federal land in return for more than 5,000   
   acres of   
   company land.   
      
   Conservation advocates and American Indian groups, particularly the San Carlos   
   Apache Tribe, have for years been trying to block the swap, saying the mine   
   would damage natural resources and culturally sensitive areas. A site called   
   Apache Leap in the Tonto National Forest has been of particular concern.
