The Government Honoring Our Treaties And Sovereignty Is First And Foremost. These Issues Are Still The Top Priority Which [barak] Obama, If Elected, Has Promised Us. For Us, We Should Implement The Most Impor-tant Programs Right Now: They Are Programs To Teach The Children A Positive Sense Of Dignity, Self-worth, And The Importance Of Sustaining Their Culture, History, Language And Honor As A People.

I Would Like To Say, Historically, From The Very Beginning, Our People Have Time And Again Expressed The Need For People To Live In Harmony With The Creator, The Mother Earth, Fellow Man, And Respect Our Brother's Vision. In The Past And The Present, We Have Been Respon-sible For The Greatest Gains; Cultivated Foods And Medicines; Democratic Government, And Many Other Areas Of Concern.

If You Look At Iraq And Afghanistan's Situations, They Are Quickly Becoming Much Like Our Reservations. They Will Have Puppet Governments Funded And Controlled By A U.s. Government That Siphoned Off Their Resources. You Don't Have To Be An English Major To Read The Writing On The Wall; I Am In Here As A Warning To Others, Just Like Those Men Who Are In Guantanamo Are A Warning To Others - If You Stand Up To Us You Face These Same Consequences.

I Do Not Believe Federal Government Fear Me At All, They Know The Truth. They Know I Am Not A Dangerous Person, They Hold Me As A Hostage To Discourage Other People From Possibly Standing Up To Their Valued System. In Their Minds, Right Or Wrong The Public Is Expected To Lay Down For Them. You See Examples Of This, At The Ruby Ridge Massacre And The Waco Massacre, Where They Killed All Those Children And Group Members.

Our People Still Need Support. Support Us Through Writing Your Government Officials. We Are Still On The Verge Of Extinction, With Continued Injustices Brought Against Us.
