1.17.00 Gov. Bush Declares American Indian Nations 'Not Sovereign'!!! This from the airhead "presidential" "candidate" who several months ago couldn't even name ONE out of 4 national leaders of 4 countries in then-current hot-spot regions: the one and only, the inimitable coke-addled, goofball governor of Texas; G. "Dubya" Bush. Somebody get this LOSER a history book, for God's sake!! (Guess "Dubya" slept through that term, too... .) GOD HELP US if--through some extraordinary efforts (including such things as massive voter fraud/tampering) on the part of certain inconceivably wealthy, malignant, misanthropic and generally VERY dangerous people--this moron actually becomes the next President of the U.S.!!! Obviously, for Native Americans the situation would be even more disastrous if dweeb Dubya were to be President. NewsHawk® Inc. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Subject: Bush's View on Sovereignty Status Date: Mon, 17 Jan 2000 20:24:19 EST From: John- I thought I'd pass this on to you. Recently in the GLIFWC News, MASINAIGAN, George W. Bush has DENIED sovereign status of Indian nations. The following is a complete reprint of the article published in the Winter 1999-2000 issue: Indian Tribes should be subject to state law, says Republican presidential candidate and Texas Gov. George W. Bush. Either ignorant or unmindful of hundreds of years of treaties, the U.S. Constitution and several Supreme Court decisions, Bush denied the sovereign status of Indian Nations. "My view is that state law reigns supreme when it comes to the Indians, whether it be gambling or any other issue," Bush said during a recent campaign swing in New York State. Tribal leaders were incredulous. "[Only] the federal government has the authority," said Mark Emery, a spokesman for the Oneida Nation. So PLEASE spread the word. It seems our sovereignty may be in some sort of danger if this fool gets elected. Thank you Fredina L.
