American People For Hillary
We are building the national network of grassroots activists. We will work online and on the ground to spread our winning message to American voters because after all this is Hillary's history making movement! It's time for the Democratic Party to put up a candidate we can be proud of again. I ask you to join us in this cause and help spread the words. Let make history together!

Being that there have been those that have gone out of their way to bring up reparations for black people only and highly supported by those that believe the blacks are the only entitled, since the Legal Precedent was set by paying reparations to the Japaneses Americans, I want to change the subject to english only.
Being a Native American youth I love to go with my family to eat at the Buffets in the casino. I am only allowed to walk through where there are adults actively gambling at the slots on the way to the buffet.
On several occaions I come across Native Americans that speak Native American language and greet them in the language of my heart soul and forfathers.
I have had impetuos people come up to our table and yell at me demanding I speak english only, because it is the law of the land.
In order to be respectful I tactfully and very respectfully remind them, I do not demand you speak the language of the law of my land, because you are at a casino in the middle of a sovering indian Nation.
Yet even so I have had problems with very imprtuos individuals having to ask security to step in and ask them to be more respectful or they will have to leave the premises.
It is sad that this situation has had to come to pass. Usually they turn out to be individuals that got drunk after having lost all the pay check that was supposed to go to feed their family and not their gambling vice.
This annscdote I make known here is because it is a true story that has happened not only to me, but to many other of my Native American Brother's and Sisters on Native land, and in the Casinos.
Little Dine'
Peace to all
God Bless our homeland.

Ya''at'eeh!
I personally would not consider endorsement of any candidate of the party I choose to support. In the first place Not being able to vote would be setting myself up for the inevitable trap of being forced to lose time with defending myself from petty attacks coming from staunch over zealous supporters of the candidate whom would argue I was being a traitor for criicizing the wrong stances taken by the candidate, or being called a troll and racist. I am tired of that which is so proliferate here, as many democrats are.
It is said that it is better to contribute to fortifying the party than to bring up points which will cause further division. I am glad I can not vote now. That will be a bridge I will have to cross when I become of age.
Meanwhile my time is better spent building the party than to bring it down by outright criticism of our candidates faults. No one is perfect. However a democrat in power is much better than a republican. Again it is only IMO.
There is much I can do as a democratic youth for the Democratic Party. I invite all the youths here to build on the party.
T'a'a' iiyisi ahe'hee.
Peace Little Dine'

Subject: [GFR-Discussion] The two GFR democratic platform planks
Hi, all,
The two Get FISA Right Group planks have been posted as 'Civil Rights' Planks on the MixedInk site at http://www.mixedink.com/netrootsplatform/index.php#a3
which is hosting the Netroots Political Platform project. If people can not attend a Democratic Platform meeting this week, taking part in shaping the Democratic Party Platform through this web- based site would be a great way to participate. The various planks can be browsed, rated, and reworked.
I think that the Get FISA Right group did a great job with our proposed planks. I would encourage everyone to set up an account (yes - another one!) at the MixedInk site and rate our proposals up!

Standing before an assembly that would elect two bishops, the Rev. Frank Wulf shared his problem as a candidate for one of the top clergy positions in The United Methodist Church.
"The problem is that I come as a gay man, and I know where our church stands on the issue of same-sex orientation," Wulf said in his candidacy address before the Western Jurisdictional Conference, which represents United Methodists in the western United States, Guam and other U.S. territories in the Pacific.

A year ago, Palestinian medical student Wessam al-Ghoul in the U.K. thought Barack Obama would break new ground in bringing Middle East peace. Today, he says the Democratic presidential candidate is merely “the lesser of two evils.”
Al-Ghoul changed his mind after Obama toughened his rhetoric against Iran and said on June 4 that ``Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.'' Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as their future capital.
``He has become virtually indistinguishable from any U.S. politician running for office,'' said al-Ghoul, 24. He added that presumptive Republican nominee John McCain, 71, is worse only because he would continue the foreign policies of President George W. Bush, whose war in Iraq, now in its sixth year, has made him unpopular in the Arab world. Read More »

It is not my intention to offend, I have a bad habit of being rather crude when talking about historical truths. Commitment to our culture and pride as to respect to our people we come from.
As my Grandpa Dine' Warrior and all the family members whom have served in our homelands defence, be it hand in hand with the whiteman or fighting battles against the whiteman, my blood line was there.
When our people won a battle against the whiteman it was a massacre, when our people lost a battle it was highly promoted with honors as were all the battles waged by Custer against mostly women old men and children..
I am a Dine' and Am obligated to do what I must, regardless of my hate for war.The Draft will be brought back. I will have to put my aspirations on hold to become a public servant. I am obligated to honor my forefather's, ancestors, and my elders by volunteering before I am drafted. Should it occur prior to my 17th birthday.
I am sure the Great Spirit Grandfather will bring me back in one peace to pursue my ambitions. My grandpa Dine' had turned 18 years of age one day earlier when he enlisted.
I abhore war as my grandpa Dine' Warrior, but my obligation to my people and my homeland come first.
I am a Dine' and must do what I must.
I know the Great Spirit will not hold this against me. Many talk about how far back their family members have served the homeland. I want to share the following. Jose Tisnado and Juan Tisnado were Dine' They are my ancestors whom were forced to serve under the Spanish military having been forced to raising in spanish mission school's.
The Spanish would raid our people's villages, slaughter our braves Rape our women take the young for their service as slave's for the most part. Very little changed when the insurgent's against the Britt's took control, but things are gradually improving. I cry tears of blood when I reflect on the past history. I know that all injustice will be done away with at some point. All that has a begining in the continual forward movement of the cycle of life comes to an end, for all people, no matter what the background is.
In the eyes of the spanish while dehumanised by them our people were natural born savage warriors and could better serve them as cannon fodder. It is sad. I wish I knew what their true Dine' names were, but the forced christian names upon them did not change their heart nor what they were. There were many other men at the Presidio of Tubac. A few were Apache caught up in the same canoe as my ancestors. But only these two are my family through my Maternal Grandpa Dine' Warrior. I am proud to say I decend from the SON'S OF THE REVOLUTION. I am highly proud and being the month of celebrating the independence of our Home land from the Britt's I make this public. I know there are many others here whom can claim the distinction of decending from Son's Of The Revolution, I would like to hear from you. Many blessings I bid you all when I pray. Maybe someday all injustice will be no more against anyone in our homeland's borders, whether here illegally or as new immigrants that came through the big GATE. No human being is illegal.

ARIZONA PATRIOTS OF THE TUCSON PRESIDIO
The Tucson Presidio was the only one in present-day Arizona during Spain's 1779-1783 War with England. There was also a Pima Company in the last year of the war. Several accounts of those present during that period have been found. The number of soldiers assigned to the Tucson Presidio ranged from 60 to 70. The names of those identified are shown below. There were other patriots assigned to the Yuma settlements which were abolished by the Yumas 17-19 Jul 1781. Still others helped in the Expeditions against the Yumas. The soldiers of the Tucson Presidio sometimes joined soldiers from California, Sonora, New Mexico, and Nuevo Vizcaya in various expeditions affecting Arizona.
Jose Tisnado ( ), 1a:157, 1779-1783 Tucson Presidio.
Juan Tisnado ( ). 1a:158, 1779-1783 Tucson Presidio.

“The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out. What better way to start than at the highest level " through the president of the United States, one of their own.”
So reads an email widely distributed in the US from unknown senders as part of a smear campaign, satirised with mixed results by The New Yorker magazine last week, against Barack Obama, the presumed Democratic nominee.
The liberal weekly might have been making a joke when it pictured Mr Obama as a Muslim terrorist, his wife, Michelle, as an armed radical, and the US flag burning in the fireplace in the Oval Office. But some Americans actually appear to believe it, according to opinion polls. Read More »

South Carolina State Senator Kevin Bryant has removed a classy photo from his website showing Osama Bin Laden next to Barack Obama with text claiming the difference between them is "just a little B.S."
Update: Interview with Bryant added below.
The photo was highlighted by Wonkette and The Hill, among other sites, and when I tried to access the blog post in question at 3PM ET, it had been removed from Bryant's website. Read More »
