800 horses and 300 plus cattle head belonging to the Dann sisters are seized or being seized by US Government. Western Shoshone Ruby Valley Treaty is ignored and nation to nation negotiation is not held as in other International & US Indian law issues. WE, as 50 states in one nation, are obligated legally not the state of NV in this matter. |
Tea party replaced by grazing party. Federalies become noble deep ecology Indians. Western Shoshone portrayed as ecological wrong-doer, while being nuked, timber/mineral robbed. Please write your congressperson and Rep. Ralph Regula, Republican District-16, Ohio who is US House chair of Interior Department affairs.

It's still too much to let go un-countered in activism, even in the anti-war movement counter to countdown.)
Wounded fescue for federalies?!
Well, I see the feds have gone deep ecology finally. Regardless, Treaty of Ruby Valley 1863 accorded use to settlers and not ownership. The result should be similar to Wisconsin Indian Treaty Rights, but in a better position for Western Shoshones in the treaty's recorded no land trade for reserved uses.
Here the settlers are granted privileged Shoshone-fiduciary monitored use by Shoshones, at least that how the treaty reads. The Western Shoshone should be in the position of monitor of ecological and resource management decisions by all others than Western Shoshone and not Nevada or US Government.
So no nukes, no A-bombs, no nuke waste, no water, no other than western Shoshone cattle or horses, no minerals, no timber, watch the wildlife take -tin stars, and help yourself to sage brush for the new age shops. I believe I've got that somewhat correct from past history of Shoshone legitimate claims and rights.
Sonoran desert tracks to high plateau rams to you.
Cyber vacation in letterform to our congresspersons, senators, and federalie offices. It’s a good consciousness thing to do.
To The Honorable Ralph Regula, Republican, D-16 Ohio:
Could you find some time as Chair of Interior Dept. Committee to mentor a positive change in US government deals with the Western Shoshone and the Dann sisters which is overdue. I'd appreciate a good rousing US departments concerned in the issue by you considering your League of Conservation voters score leans to humanitarianism over environment. While there are few American Indian issues and past treaties dealing with Ohio pressing, there are concerns from American Indian constituents in your district and American Indians affected in all 50 states by the Interior concerns you chair. People of conscious over 50 states of interior US need to see what is exchanged for your occupancy of that chair position with so low of an environmental voting record. Here is a good issue to make strides with as a humanitarian. Anywhere you could help this situation would be welcomed by all constituents of conscious. 'Wounded fescue' is a mountain from a mole hill considering the nuke pollution and ignored treaties cited on the Arizona IMC front page column today.
I'd like to see the rights of the Dann sisters and the Western Shoshone upheld as the UN decision compels in the Arizona article.
For the Dann Sisters and Western Shoshone there is much you can do as Chair of the Interior/Insular Committee. Please be compelled by humanity, embarrassment of genocide enacted against both Shawnees and Western Shoshone by our government via environmental and economic injustice historic and present. Some Ohio Shawnees lived among the Grand Reserve -Wyandotte Nation in Ohio until 1842 Removal (the end to last of well-known Ohio reservations) and subsequent acculturation of Ohio Shawnee remnant bands leading to disbandment in the 1940’s until re-unification in the 1960’s. Those removed and that stayed suffered great repression and discrimination.
I know the pain of dislocation, government repression, police-state harassment, civil rights violation from both democrats and republicans, like many others. Much of that was due to my own mixed heritage. My rights were strongly violated in your district regarding first amendment rights to free speech, expression, religion as a person of consciousness and genealogically affiliated Piqua to Kispoko's of Ohio's recognized Shawnee Nation URB. My family you have known and may know they deny their mixed race heritage to my slander and police-state repression. They are full with racism, hate, crime, and gay-bashing as a Republican value. Should you run into them at Republican or Mason Lodge function, please set them right on these things.
As you can see by SF IMC on Feb. 6, 2003 gay activists are a tribe not safe at a GBLTQ center in the Castro district because they are expressing ethics and social justice free expression.

Of course, activists in general are corralled as the Dann horses and cattle in DC and elsewhere not because they are violent, but because they are the tribe 'ethical and social justice'; because they fully use their 'bill of rights' in participatory democracy. Where are you standing on democracy and citizen rights these days? Activists, participatory citizens, are a danger and threat these days because we ask for our representatives help, obligations, and teleological intent of the American citizens' revolution involvement, not only the intent of founding fathers elitism. Green is now the only party of people of conscious as the repression thickens through both Clinton-Gore era sandwiched between two bushes. Both parties could use complying with being held to mere obligations of representing 500,000 citizens (activists) in NYC next weekend, the 5 million that couldn't make it to stand for social justice due work and schooling, and the 50 percent of the USA population that are not polled adequately, or truthfully (with all social justice info revealed for intelligent and humanitarian decision-making) of matters of social justice conscious in any percentage.
There are many areas that steel workers would support in your district. The Dann sisters are a district constituency safe issue for you. I hope you take the initiative as chair on this matter to social justice consciousness in favor of our nation’s obligation to the Western Shoshone and Dann sisters by treaty and UN mediated decision.
Do what’s right, not what's directional. The bison needs to turn its head both directions.
