Another aspect to the “border fence”

“Here is a description of this portion of the $49 billion fence: “The Wall will be a double barrier with the first located 100′ back from the Rio. Though in some cases, local conditions will require a setback as far as 1000′. There will be an “alley”, 150 ft. wide, between the two fences. All vegetation will be removed from the riverbank all the way back to a buffer zone inside the second fence, to enable better surveillance – 500+ feet minimum in all locations (from Kos)”

We need your support in New Mexico to stop a dirty coal plant that is proposed on the Navajo Nation. Right now, we are working hard to stop a bill that would give an $85 million subsidy to the coal plant. Please help us buy radio ads to defeat the bill.
