Hi,
Just a brief update. It occurs to me that sending brief updates really
does mean the newsletter is "back to normal."
Raven is an e-mail friend of mine. She is very active in politics here
in California. She sent me the following e-mail, which I am happy to
send along to all of you. Regardless of your political beliefs, I
strongly encourage you to make your voice heard through your vote. For
what it is worth, my college degree is in Political Science, not
History.
Here is Raven's e-mail:
"thanks for the update. Please remind everyone you know to vote on
Tuesday, March 5. This primary is an important opportunity and test
of the commitment of Indian people to turn out at the polls. When we
increase the number of votes cast, it builds strength to our argument
that we will participate in the system and elect legislators that will
LISTEN to Indian country. It is far more important to turn out the
votes then to write a check.
We have a terrific opportunity in Arizona to elect the first native
American woman to congress. Debora is a member of the Navajo nation, a
three term legislator in the Arizona assembly - an extremely qualified
native woman who can and does step up to the plate for Indian country.
Debora is also a member of our Native American Caucus here in
California.
thanks
raven "
