 http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/miningpolitics/ The bill is alive and well. S2750 has been referred to the Committee on Energy
and Natural Resources in the Senate. We have been warned by our Washington lobbyist that
this issue is not dead and anti-mining forces are gathering to attempt to push
a final version through the Senate this session. Be sure to let your Senators
know you are against these radical and devastating changes to the mining law.  http://www.49ermike.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=181&topic_id=78918&mesg_id=78918&page=
