New KGLPfm bumper sticker

From Rachel J. Kaub: I wanted our website and the availability of streaming to be readily visible
on this bumper sticker, without changing the Logo dramatically...(and I say
listen online rather than streaming since I expect to have local content such
as interviews and specials available for listening on demand by this summer.)

The color scheme has been changed to grab attention and make clear that this
is a new bumper sticker...I highlighted our 91.7 fm frequency to make it
easier to see by passersby.  The "fine print" is for those seeing the bumper
sticker in parking lots...

Thanks!

Senate Bill Seeks to Extinguish Navajo and Hopi Water Rights

Radmilla Cody

Happy Wonderful Wednesday Great People! I attended the Water Rights Conference last Thursday in Hard Rock, AZ regarding the Senate Bill 2109. Senator Jon Kyle and McCain are negotiating with the Navajo and Hopi tribal leaders on selling the Little Colorado River water that runs through the Navajo and Hopi Nations. This is "serious, detrimental to the Navajo & Hopi Nations, their tribal sovereignty, and the future of our younger generations!"

Our tribal leaders will be meeting with Jon Kyl and McCain to negotiate (behind close doors) tomorrow in Tuba City, AZ. There will be a peaceful protest/ march starting at 11 am (DST) from the Chapter House to the Legacy Inn- come out, take a stand, and oppose the S.B. 2109!

For more information on how to get involved and stop Senate Bill 2109:
