Wellstone & Indian Band

I was shown a piece in the Mille Lacs Messenger last weekend where Wellstone was up on the Res., and gave these folks a ton of money and support. When asked if he was aware of the fishing and hunting debate, as well as the ceded territory question, he said, ” I am aware of it, but I am chosing not to address it”. Yep, this is OUR State Senator working on YOUR behalf, right? I sent Wellstone a letter asking him to stand up for what is right for ALL, and he chose to ignore it. I did however, get a reply from Sen Weldon of PA, and he thanked me for my support, and he is not even my Senator! We are a silent majority for sure! What can we do as a group to get this guy tossed???

Unfortuantely all we can do about him is vote vote vote and hope that there are enough of us to do away with him.Pretty sad when the people who are elected to represent the state as a whole turn their backs on us and choose to ignore things that to hard for them to deal with.

BTW – Do you happen to have Welchstones email address? Maybe we can “flood” him a little bit.

I’m glad that Wellstone isn’t a WI issue! I honestly was shocked that he ever got elected in the first place………..and it continues………….term after term! Read up on Welly and you’ll feel we’re supporting someone who seems less American than he should be. He gathers up all the minorities and oddballs, gives them the big “better tomorrow” gig, denounces the development of any national culture or standard, gets all the union democratic “insta-votes”, and fires up the “our duty to be compassionate toward…………” speeches for all the humanitarian “trendy” votes! His campaign personnel have been very clever and successful but they’ve predicted the next battle to be a close one………..rise up and a difference can be made! If for nothing else, know that Wellstone didn’t want us to go chasing terrorism or crossing “questionable lines” to get Bin-Ladin. He rallied at anti-war protests during the Gulf War! Not that I know everything…………but I’m not interested in politicians who want to take things away from those who died to give them to us!

I’d better stop before I go on a rampage!

Sound like he knows where the Bucks are !! Yes we are the silent majority, but if we flood him and his staff with E-mail they will have to take a look at the voting public and heed there warning. We are the voting public ! You know what happened to the gate on the Mississippi !! (See FTR) If you see something wrong, You will never get hunt by speaking the truth ! “THE POWER OF THE PEN!!!”

Keep a tight line !!!

Tuck, Wellstone has always been a native Indian lover…..I made the trip with PERM down to the capital and to his office one year and he has many pictures of himself and natives on his walls……he even has a full feathered head dress…….he’s not my favorite.

Just a idea, but what if the big guns to this site and FTR were to inform the opposing running mates of what this jerk stands for in the eyes of Minnesota Sportsmen . A nice letterhead from this unit would probably at least get a response from them. Maybe even have a petition drawn on the board for those in favor of ousting his ass. (oops) Who knows maybe they would use it in their adds on tv. FISHINFOOL

Apparently they do not post Welchstones email adress ,the only way to contact him is thru the senate web page.If there was any doubt on where this clown stands in relation to the tribes check this out.

Not sure where our other reps or candidates stand but at least we can eliminate this one from our options.

I’m not sure about this, but I think that if EFN was to offer a candidate endorsement, it would have tremendous potential to hose things up. Right now, EFN is a pretty tight-nit community, and it’s pretty rare that there are rabble-rousers (other than me) on the board that Hougie has to ping or eliminate altogether. Since liberals are don’t have the best reputation for losing graciously (ref: Florida election), I would suspect that campaigning actively against “America’s most liberal senator” would get this site flooded with disruptors.

It does seem strange to me that someone with his liberal credentials could get elected in Minnesota – another reason/red-flag to consider the next time my wife suggests moving up there.

The solution seems simple, just send him an email saying that white, male corporate oppressors are using the treaty to prevent roving bands of middle-eastern homosexuals from having public orgies at the lake. After that, I give him 5 days to eliminate the treaty and station national guard troops at the ramps.

Hougie, if this post crosses any lines, can it.

Gotta take just a second here to grin over your last paragraph Gianni!…………(chuckling……….)……………. As I said before, I’m glad Wellstone isn’t a WI issue.

I’m surprised at your amazement of MN being in support of a liberal. The term “MN Nice” reaches a long way and in oppressive or minority type situations, the Twin Cities are bested in popularity by VERY few. They’ve been a strong Democratic (liberal) state for many, many years. More recently it appeared the conservatives were getting the edge but it’s so hard to get those types to sound their voices or get involved with making changes. They may want to vote for the guy who deals better with “majority issues” but they find out the guy smoked a roach 30 years ago and somehow that equals an “undecided…………..none of them are any good” attitude. No participation equals a willed submission to uncertain servitude toward whatever becomes your fate. Sad, but true.

I still like the idea of a “Government Lottery”. You can only serve one 4yr. term, you’ll be handsomely rewarded for you service, but you’ll never know if you’ll be a politician or not. That way, by random “lotto” picks of registered citizens, no one knows who will or won’t be selected, no career guys, no leverage for lobbyists, and the majority consensus will most likely be the ones governing our tomorrows. They’ll most likely stick to things that pertain to a world they’d want to return to, for anything they do in office will then become their living conditions for tomorrow.

It’s within our citizens power to see this government changed if desired…………but a thought this radical would step on too many toes and I’d see myself buried all too soon. I don’t like where we’ve gone, in regards to the original intent, but everyone who heads up a revolution dies………………..I’d rather go fishing and let God take over when the time is right.

I think the death of revolutionaries is largely European (Cromwell, Wallace, etc). The American revolutionaries seemed to fare pretty well, as the military leader went on to become the first president, while the philisophical types got to usher in a new era in limited government and unprecedented freedom for its citizens in the form of the U.S. Constitution.

I think it’s like you said before: If they are a sovereign nation, we need to establish trade regulations and border restrictions. If they are citizens of these United States, they need to deal with the representation that one vote each gets.

Amendment XIV

Section 1:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Seems pretty plain to me.
