Massaway...No More Sliding Under the Radar

Not only did we vote down double dipping, we voted to stop Bouschor and Shagen from running. What part of the vote of the people does Massaway and those other corrupt directors not understand?

It is simple...we voted and it is going to stay that way until we 'unvote' it. One way or another, the members will prevail and there will be several directors wondering what they are going to do for a living..... and it could be sooner rather than later.

This is our tribe...not the property of 7 or 8 directors who choose to think it belongs to them. The only reason they want polling sites is to eliminate the vote of the At large members because they know that is the only very slim chance they will have to stay in office.

To pass it off on the election committee only convinces me all the more that several members of the board are in collusion with the election committee and they have created another addition to the argument that the time is also up for the current election committee members and their fearless leader/'s, whoever they may be.

To expect members to accept that ridiculous excuse is saying that they (the rogue board, as they have come to be known) think the members are stupid. We are not stupid, as they will eventually find out. There is no problem that we cannot solve together no matter how many the rogue board intends to pile on us.

Do I get the impression you are a Bouschor man??
And why would anyone want Bouschor and Shagen back?
Who were the attorneys you mentioned?
Did the people not vote down double dipping?
I was under the impression WORKSHOPS was to learn about new things.
Not to discuss Tribal business.
I know all about the election fraud.
BUT I do believe " Some people" do not want some of us voting because
we cannot be persuaded to vote one way or the other.
WE can do what we feel is right of our own free will, Keith Massaway !!

The board is currently working on these issues. I have to state that we have met the last two days and the chairman did not attend the 12 hours of workshops we had on these matters.>>

1. The law states that the election ordinance can be changed with a positive majority of the board at any time.>>
2. Double dipping is now an amendment to our constitution and that can not be changed in any way.>>
3. According to our constitution we will not stop anyone from running for any office. This was explained to us by our own tribal attorneys. If we have this personal law to stop someone from running it is an unconstitutional law. The constitution is supreme law. Even our chairman has said that law is unconstitutional on tape.>>
4. Poling sites were brought up because of election fraud. Hundreds of people call saying they did not receive ballots Others say people steal ballots from the mail. We cannot have a secure system if these things can happen. This election ordinance change was a total shock to the board when it was brought up at mondays workshop.
The election committee did show and explain almost all other tribes and political organizations have polling because a vote is counted by representation. The election committee did also state that this change was a unanimous vote of their board.
The election committee also said that absentee ballots are available to all tribal members over the age of 60, all service members and the handicapped. The board did not ask for these changes but have always stated that we should not interfere with the election board and have always approve their changes without question.>
The board did ask that the polling question be separated out of the all inclusive draft and be put on a piece of legislation of its own.
The board did not get any raises. It has been over 5 years since the last raise to the boards wage.>>
if you have anymore questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at any time. Keith>
