WELL< WELL< WELL, I warned people about this some 6 months ago. The republicans are NOT, the NA's friend. They (george bush), plan on doing away with tribal reconnitions. If George Bush wins, YOU WILL see a whole new game plan, were NA are concerned. His brother has already started the trend here in FLA. He is going to give the word RACE, a whole different meaning. I had been a registered republican for 25 years. I changed that last year to libraterian. When congess decides it does not want to listen to me and what I vote in the polls, they can kiss my ...! When they think thier GET CLINTON, attacks are more important, then what we say as Americans, then they can do without me and my votes.PEOPLE, you need to wake up.The President may have done ONE thing wrong, with Monica, but she was never the issue, really. It was a campaign of right wing republicans, who wanted him out, and shamed as well. Why, because he took on the NRA, and BIG TOBACCO, and the lobbiist that did not give one damn about our elders health. The republican party, is the NRA. and big tobacco. The sad part of alot of this, is we need Clinton more now then ever. I watched Russell Means and the libratarian at Anihiem, Calif. this weekend. Does he not realize that, breaking up the party ticket, will only give Bush a big WIN. No matter what Republicans tell or promise, they will vote Repulican, and for their party issues. Does anyone think that because you are a tribel leader, you will always do what is in the interest of the NA? NO>NO<NO, I do not believe this. Pine Ridge, found out the hard way about some of their tribal leaders stealing money, meant for the NA, peoples. The republicans want NA land. Why, because of hunting. Were you find hunters, you find guns. And when you find guns and hunter's, you find the NRA. Oh, and I am not fooled at all with the killing of all those Buffalo in Montana. Thay claim they did not want their herds infeccted, with Bison diease. That is a lie!!! I believe it is nothing more then hunters taunting the NA, to a fight, were they could then call out the ARMY and others to retaliate on their behalf.My best advice is to vote Democrate all the way. If the ticket is split, Bush will win. I guess old Jeb Bush was testing the racial waters, for his brother, in FLA. When he did away, with the colledge program for minoritys, he got some flack about it. And most of the people that were mad were African Americans, and other minority grougs. But that lasted a whole 10 seconds. I dont hear nothing now but praise. Well I will probably hear a bunch of flack over my statments here. But this is my opoin. Bright Star

Hi. I need to add Lenape to our list of tribes which now include: Cherokee, Kiowa, Lenape, Mohawk, Choctaw, and Creek, And I am also reminded of all the ancestors as yet undiscovered. Since we all come from one creator, we are in actuality from ONE tribe from the beginning of time..... Diana
