John and sadly too many of our people are constantly told by many of our own leaders that the only way to insure our rights are protected is to vote for the party that will do that. BS of the highest order.

Romney is a disaster for everyone, including Native people, as are Republican Supreme Court appointments. The past four years has seen an unprecedented rise in federal activity on Native lands, including raids, undercover agents, investigations and trespass. Laws such as the PACT Act have killed Native businesses and Jobs on our lands. Native to Native trade has had war waged against it and all of this has been during the Obama administration. I do not give a pass on any of this but the fact is that Native people have always fared better with second term presidents but not without lots of pressure.John Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258945528213164797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1508436481250154585.post-67933605649005825072012-11-01T18:25:05.724-04:002012-11-01T18:25:05.724-04:00My point could not have been made clearer than by ...My point could not have been made clearer than by the story in the Buffalo News about the Seneca Nation donating $25,000 to Democrats and $100,000 to Republicans. http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20121101/CITYANDREGION/121109947/1003<br />And you thought all "Indians" loved Obama. Even though most of these donations are for State races, supporting a party is supporting a party.John Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258945528213164797noreply@blogger.com
