DFL Endorsement Convention District 4A,4B
What a day it has been , i must thank our creator for this day of learning and must report to all our membership what transpired where two Native Anishinaabe Democratic Farmer Labor Party Candidates , Nicole Beaulieu and Myself Gregory Paquin who stood for civil rights and justice for all Minnesotans and especially our Native constituents who today at 9:30 am at the city of Walker High School auditorium voted by wide margins to deny Native American Representation in this Northern Minnesota District.The 4B endorsed Candidate Meg Bye won her endorsement with a unanimous vote while Nicoles run against Incumbant John Percell netted her 4 votes for her while Percell recieved the remaining 44 votes and interestingly with many Native Delegates like Chairman Archie Larose and Eugene "ribs" Whitefeather and former DeFrocked Senator *Harold Skip Finn,Eli Hunt (Former Chair) also for the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe and last but certainly not least Al "Tig"Pemberton another member of the corrupt inner circle of the leadership of Stanley Crooks and his henchman John Mcarthy executive director of the Minnesota Indian Gaming Association who have influenced these current and past so called Indian leaders and a smattering of other bought off Indians to continue to allow these condescending white politicians the ability to look away from the true extent of the corruption of our Native Communities and their deliverance into the hands of another institutionally racist system of Goverment,the Judiciary. As for the vote count between Mary Olson Incumbant who recieved 69 votes while i recieved 3,basically reiterated what i have concluded long ago,which is a Indian person cannot recieve any justice whatsoever from these institutions of genocidal European influence,all the while waving a flag around which we had to make pledge of allegiance to at the outset of the days proceedings. I must proudly say that at least two Native peoples had the intestinal fortitude to stand up against this institutionally racist political machine called the Minnesota Democratic Farmer Labor party and made that allegiance on spiritual faith alone,quite a opposite of those who have showed up to read from a prepared speech that was written by John Mcarthy and so pittifully mouthed by "Ribs" in support of Mary Olson ,and .I spoke for 15 minutes and Nicole Beaulieu as all the other Candidates had their time at the podium and as for my points i hammered away on the Affirmative Action issue that has not moved one inch from the farcical claim of the Affirmative Action policy officer elected at this event. As i stated to the crowd of the "Everybody has one" (I inch Thick Affirmative Action policy) where all the Bought off indians vote for white Candidates when there are viable concerned Native Citizenry who have come forward to lead the way out of this socio-economic morass that has been created here since the coming of the white man who ran from his own lands in Europe and continues to practice here. Whenever Indian people are or have been influenced by this Euro culture we lose and when you see Michael Muers who i had asked at the Red Lake Political Education Committee who does he represent ? when he attends as a member of a political education group . He doe NOT con me , he simply influences these Natives to continue to hide the corruption that surrounds todays Indian Gambling Industry. This is mine and not his as it is yours and NOT his or John Mcarthy. I learned alot today and all these corrupt men have is one small edge is that we do not come out to "protest" this type of criminal activity just as quickly to jump on a powerline issue or a pipeline issue . A item of note i signed a petition by Elizabeth Sherman to address concerns about this large electrical power transmission line coming through our territories and of course my concern is the health affects and how the jobs pertinant to the power generation industry are in my utmost thoughts. it was a day to remember when so few stood against so many as warriors ,real warriors Nicole Beaulieu and Gregory Paquin.
