John,

Today is Native American Heritage Day, a day when everyone can reflect on
America's dark history with the first people of this land and overcome the
myths that continue to be told about its true nature.

The Advancing Tribal Parity on Public Lands Act and Tribal Cultural Areas
Protection Act would work together to expand democracy to tribal nations
and enable them to protect sacred and cultural sites by doing the
following: 

* Prohibits the sale of public land containing a tribal cultural site,
where a tribal nation retains treaty or other reserved rights, or that
contains a former reservation.
* Requires federal land management agencies to provide tribal
governments with meaningful public involvement opportunities in land
use planning, and requires that public land advisory boards include at
least one tribal representative.
* Establishes a national system of culturally significant sites on
public lands
* Prohibits mining and other forms of development that would impair
Tribal cultural areas’ cultural values
* Ensures that tribal nations have the ability to protect, co-manage,
and use the cultural sites they have used for generations.

Since our founding in 2004, every campaign staffer we have trained, every
voter we have contacted, and every candidate we put over was directly
funded by members like you.

With a strong grassroots campaign, we can use our experience and strategy
to tap into the diverse coalition it will take to keep Georgia blue.

It all comes down to Georgia and what we do to win. We can drive another
big runoff victory, but we only have a few weeks to make it happen.

[ [link removed] ]DFA relies on funding from grassroots donors to power our critically
important voter contact programs. So if you can, please contribute $23.18
(our average this year), to fully fund a robust campaign in the Georgia
runoff.
