Clinton Says No to Indian Country

[outershell]

Oh, I understand what you're saying.

Perhaps if Natives were an ever-growing and culturally-defined medium, worth about 15% of the vote in 10-15 states, candidates would act differently?

Oh, wait: that's far too "untraditional" and/or "assimilist."

the last couple of elections were decided by a very slim margin. if every tribal member who coudl vote did. it would have an impact.
(course that's just me being an idealist)

First off, you guys are basing your opinions on a press release, not a journalistic news article. I didn't read in the release where Clinton was contacted for comment...did I miss it or was it not there?

I'd be curious to see why she turned down the offer? Is she speaking at other Indian events?

I'm not a supporter of Clinton or Obama, but I do feel anyone has the right to answer and be heard on an issue and it doesn't seem Clinton was in this case. Just another way of looking at it.

true...

Proving that votes are all that matters.....as if we didn't know, but still.....a slap in the face....

That's going to cost her 0.5% of the vote...

Our voting power, as a special interest, is just not worth investigating by any mainstream candidate.

[Mud_Woman]

Its great to hear all your opinions.
I dont know who im voting for.
Ive looked at all the canidests home pages, and not one of them have anything to say about Native Americans.

Ah ya cant trust any of em.....I feel at this point anything HAS to be better than what we got (twice).
I swear..... I've had nightmares that Jed got elected!!!
No for real I have.

[wa-zha-zhe]

I'm glad that we know how she feels toward our people.
She must be a very narrow minded person afterall.
If she gets elected we are doomed.

[whitewave]

Honestly I'm afraid that Obama might get killed if he gets elected. I HOPE not....but I wouldn't be tooo surprised.
