Legislation introduced in the house November 19th would make businesses trace conflict minerals. Just as Diamonds funded crimes, tungsten, tantalum, tin, and gold provide $180 million a year to armed groups in the Eastern Congo. We can support this legislative effort to make companies choose legitimate sources from mines that do not fund violence against women, children, and all life in the Congo river valley.

I can't find the link, but there was an article in Mother Jones titled "Is your cell phone hurting you?" and they mentioned conflict minerals more than anything else. Awesome! And from a source STAND and GI-Net aren't usually affiliated with!
