Everyone can call or email these people but it really helps if their own constituents contact them, If you have family or friends in any of these areas please encourage them to call orEmail as soon as possible. The resolution # is 1658 protecting the Coldwater Spring area as traditional cultural property. I'm sorry I keep saying just a few more days, but we just have to keep trying and praying. Senator Gary Laidig from Stillwater sits on this committee and will support our efforts to get this resolution heard. Pidamiya, Love Linda
