Ya''at'eeh,
Will be voting for Bill in the primary and writing him in on the General Election.
Sending message to the media that helped bury the only viable choice we had for president. Beyond Bill there is nothing, my vote still goes for him, who ever wants to join the protest , welcome on my canoe.
Dine'

Post Data,
our voting block membership of the rank and file of Si Se Puede, Native American voting block rank and file along with diehard loyal supporters from this website will join the protest WAR PARTY, I look forward to the blessing from the GREAT Spirit it will come to pass that the nation will recieve a major surprize on primary election and even more on the General Election in November.
There will be many brothers and sisters from among all of Native America that will support our effort in conjunction with support of our Lakota Brothers whom have declared themselves a separate FREE LAKOTA NATION.
There are many Native American brothers and sisters that openly will say I follow Party Line Directive as proposed by the Tribal Leadership, and the Native American Caucass, However when in the polls the vote is done in secret and they will let their heart decide at the last moment.
Native America is and has been for GBR from the GET GO, and our hearts as a Nation of first people weigh heavy with sadness, because the press that was bought and paid for by the agents of the treacherous money machines forced Bill out of the race, by burying him in the press and major media on National TV, even the Latino Mexican Media sold out, over their money hunger.
With Bill dropping from the race the people from our coalitions in the western states where we were going to give them a run for their money, were short changed of the opprtunity.
Regardless, We will all make a statement in unison, we will be drafting Bill for prsident in 2012. There will be no stopping Bill then. San Diego Grass Roots will not cease to exist. We are now the movement in this county to Draft Bill for President in 2012.
can be reched at sandiegogrc4billrichardson@hotmail.com, and also at Party bloggers.org, under Draft Bill Richardson for President in 2012.
I also invite you to join a group in party bloggers called Berk County for Bill Richardson. Leader of group is Carol Wents, from the pensylvania for Richardson Group. All whom want to keep supporting Bill can also contact Her.

May the Great Spirit Bless you all.

Ya''at'eeh!,
I have returned from my unplanned journey, For which I thank the Great Spirit. While away I was graced by the company of my ancestors. Governor Bill Richardson is still being guided by the spirit of the Great Eagle. What I speak can only be understood by my Native American brothers and sisters. He will soar very High despite strong currents, and has all the capability to become victorious, his goal will be hampered from within due to trecherous serpents in his path.

Pray the Great Spirit protect him from the forked tongue of those that only seek to demean the and belittle him while claiming their support for him.

To all my Native American Brothers and sisters I send a special Ahoa', I also invite all new comers from Native America to join me at Dine' Nishli Naakaii group.

May all on this site have merry upcoming Holy Days.
May the Great Spirit Bless The Governor and his family.
May the Great Spirit Bless You all.
Your sincere friend.
Dine' Humble Warrior.

It is extremely easy to do this. Simply pass along this link: http://action.richardsonforpresident.com/page/event/detail/wfz

Ya''at'teeh!


I from time to time read up on religious materials, concepts and precepts on contemporary religion in the United States, for the purpose of trying to understand other people through their religious belief and practice.

Recently there was a big hoopdelah about the endorsements of Tele evangelist Pat Robertson for a particular candidate.
I believe that it is not only inmoral but should be constituted as illegal for any one that is in the God business in the mega million dollar income Racket to try and influence the outcome on an election.

I have read the Christian Bible and it makes it quite clear that Jesus settled the matter of the question that was thrown at him by Emperor's emissary in relation to the Gold Coin with the Emperor's effigy on it.
Jesus said point blank, Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's and to God what is God's.
That in my eyes clears up the question about goverment and religion.
Atleast that is what is expected.
Furthermore I was under the impression that non for profit tax free orgs are not supposed to promote politics or politicians.
Yet the protestant Tele evangelists have done this from the get go.
I have not seen any Catholic Hierarchy doing the same, nor hierarchy from any other major religion doing the same, as a matter of fact when they have done in the past they were surely and very quickly stopped. There are laws on the books in many countries that prohibit this type of action, and yet in America it is only prohibited when it is anyone other than protestant.
I am of Shamanic Beliefs. I read from time to time religious litterature handed to me. What is preached and what is done are far to distant. I have read the Christian Bible. There are many things that enlighten, but the actions of the new age self proclaimed prophets of Christianity only turn people away. I am happy and live in peace with the teachings from my elders, I feel sorry for all of those cought up in the religious contradictions about, God, Goverment and Christianity. There are millions of sincere Christians
which are being taken for fools by the many con men which use the God Buissiness for profit.

Prophets for profit.
Yes indeed, money exchanging hands from politicians to the so called moral majority religious prophets go hand in hand. The reality is they are still cought up in their own greedy needs.Paying homage to their real God. Money and power. When the europeans arrived to the America's they worshipped the same God then they worship now.
The God Business is good, living lifestyles of kings, and the best of all is they can elect governors presidents, and it is all tax free. They answer to no one. Only to God, THEIR GOD MONEY, AND POWER.
I am still a savage in their eyes. It does not matter, I am a proud Native American. I would rather be considered a heathen, than to be cought up and exploited by prophets for profit.



THE LATTER INDIVIDUALS GIVE THE TRUE SINCERE CHRISTIANS A BAD IMAGE.
I HOPE I HAVE OFFENDED NO ONE. IT IS NOT MY INTENTION. I ONLY BRING THIS TO LIGHT BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE ABOUT IT AND MORE ATTENTION SHOULD BE BROUGHT UP ON THE MATTER.

DINE' WARRIOR.

GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON ANNOUNCES FORMATION OF GRASSROOTS LATINO OUTREACH PROGRAM "MI FAMILIA CON RICHARDSON"


LAS VEGAS, NV -- New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson today announced the creation of Mi Familia con Richardson, a national grassroots Latino outreach program.

Mi Familia con Richardson will become an essential part of the Richardson for President Latino outreach efforts across the country. Families supporting Governor Richardson will find five additional supporters, and if this goal is met, a local chapter of Mi Familia con Richardson can be formed. Members will commit to aiding the Governor's campaign in a variety of ways leading up to the Democratic caucus or primary in their state.

"My campaign is about talking to people face-to-face," Governor Richardson said. "Grassroots programs like Mi Familia con Richardson are a great way to get my message out directly to voters. I am proud to be the first candidate to reach out to Latinos on a grassroots level. As a proud Latino myself, I am hopeful that the political clout of Latinos will increase in the coming years, and Mi Familia con Richardson is one way to help that happen."

At a press conference today in Las Vegas, Richardson presented the charter membership to the Nevada Mi Familia con Richardson organization. Richardson was joined at the announcement by Felipe Fuentes, Democratic National Committee Hispanic Caucus Chairwoman Ramona Martínez, Reynaldo Martínez, Gilberto Ocanas, California State Senator Alex Padilla, Christine Trujillo, and Patsy Trujillo, along with Richardson for President senior adviser Rick Hernández.

"I am happy to have the Latino community involved in my campaign through Mi Familia con Richardson," Governor Richardson said. "Having a broad and diverse coalition of supporters illustrates my ability to bring our country together. I have worked to build consensus my entire career, from my time as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations to two terms as Governor of New Mexico, and I will continue to do so as President."

In conjunction with Mi Familia con Richardson, Governor Richardson will continue to mobilize voters and spread his message of change and experience across the country.

Below are the names and biographies of some of the Mi Familia con Richardson supporters in attendance at the press conference:

Felipe Fuentes

Fuentes started his career working for children's and immigrants' rights at the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. After working as a field deputy in the 7th council district, he was appointed Deputy Mayor of the San Fernando Valley in 2001. In this role, he piloted the "Safe Routes to Schools" program and brought the first new police station to the San Fernando Valley in a quarter-century. He then went back to the 7th council district to serve as Council President Alex Padilla's Chief of Staff. Fuentes currently resides in Sylmar, California with his wife Lena and daughter Iliana.

GOVERNOR BILL RICHARDSON CALLS FOR PARTERNSHIP BETWEEN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND NATIVE AMERICANS AT PREZ ON THE REZ FORUM
Richardson Proposes Cabinet-level Department for Native American Affairs


CABAZON, CA -- At the first ever Prez on the Rez Forum yesterday, Governor Bill Richardson promoted his bold vision for the future of Native Americans.

"Together, we can do better in educating Native American students," Governor Richardson said. "I believe Native American issues do not get the attention they deserve in the Department of Interior. So, as President I will propose a cabinet-level department for Native American Affairs - like we did in New Mexico. Our work, together, will begin with respect and end with results."

Governor Richardson also put forward his extensive record on Native American affairs -- by far the best of any candidate running for President.

"I understand and respect tribal sovereignty," said Richardson. "I am very proud of the fact that when I was in Congress I had the opportunity to propose some of our most important commitments to Native Americans and tribal governments."

As Secretary of Energy, Richardson created the first Office of Indian Energy to institutionalize a policy of intergovernmental relations.

As Governor, he established the first Cabinet-level Indian Affairs Department. The first in New Mexico and the first in the country. Additionally, the Governor has appointed Native Americans throughout New Mexico state government.

Just a few months ago, Governor Richardson signed gaming compacts with eleven tribes in New Mexico to improve and extend our existing compacts for an additional thirty years -- an extension that enables tribes to plan for the future.

"The relationship between the federal government and tribes has increasingly come under assault," Governor Richardson said. "President Bush's administration has created an environment that undermines Tribal America's forward progress. As President I will stop the attack on tribal sovereignty."

At the Forum, Governor Richardson unveiled his proposed Native American policy under a Richardson administration. Also, the Governor announced a list of tribal leaders and Native American activists who have endorsed his bid for President.

Please find the Policy Statement, list of endorsers, and other background documents here:

In last week's HRC debate, Governor Richardson got it absolutely right. The issue isn't whether homosexuality is a choice or a genetic trait. The issue is that everyone in this country deserves equal and fair treatment in the law. Quite simply, there is no Constitutional basis for denying gays, lesbian, bisexuals and transgendered persons rights that heterosexual Americans take for granted, no matter how strongly that heterosexual person feels their interpretation of THEIR religion is correct.   Read More »

Well, we had a great call today. Things are really starting to get organized (Tom will email the minutes, Thanks a bunch Tom), and Michigan has a great group of really committed people working for Governor Richardson. I am really enthusiastic and honored to be a part of this group.

I really want to encourage everyone that can to get in on the Saturday call. If you can't make the calls for whatever reason, you can still be really involved, we will keep you up to date on what is happening in the Michigan for Richardson group and the opportunities for involvement.

Many of you know from the email I sent that I am going to Chicago for the AFL/CIO Rally this Tuesday. IF you want to go we WILL get you there email me at wmich4richardson@yahoo.com. I will update on the event when I return. Please contact me if you want to go... we need bodies to show support... Let's really represent Michigan.

For now lets work to grow the group. Ask people if they have heard of Governor Richardson, and give them some information.

Also, it is good for people to be reminded that all of these candidates are in fact, applying for a job, and we are deciding who is the most qualified candidate for an executive position with a LOT of responsibility and requirements for success. Don't we have a right to look at all their resume's? If we were applying for a job someone would look at ours. Let's shift the paradigm of our thinking to remembering that our elected officials work for us, and we the voters need to be respectful of our power in selecting the most qualified candidate. This isn't a beauty contest. (right Gene?)

We don't have to "sell" him at all, his resume will easily do that for him. It's just that people aren't educated about him so they don't know how qualified he is. Try to have a conversation with at least one person daily, even just saying "hey you should check this guy out".

Also, remind your Republican friends that he obtained a high % (I think about 40%)of the Republican vote when he was re-elected in New Mexico so he is moderate enough for many Republicans to support. Tell them we welcome them as part of our base.

Okay that is enough for now. I hope everyone is enjoying there summer.

Michelle

Just a reminder that tonight is the debate it will be on YouTube and CNN.

Also that there is a State Wide Conference call scheduled for this Saturday @ 11:30 AM with smaller gatherings being organized in various cities. Check the event schedule. Tell everyone you know!

Have a great day!

It was a slow day in my campaign today. I had expected to be tabling at Riponfest, but thanks to my incident with the Riponfest organizers (see blog entry from yesterday), I didn't have a lot to do. Fortunately, I had made some calls to some of the other volunteers in Wisconsin on Friday, and one of the volunteers returned my call. We chatted for forty-seven minutes and 56 seconds. I remember because I looked on my cell phone after we finished talking.   Read More »
