Okey dokey, while we are not spending our tax dollars on something that
isn't getting our tax dollars directly, how about not spending our tax
dollars on something that is getting our tax dollars directly. Confused
yet <g> Well, I am talking about millions of dollars spent each year on
National Genocide Day! I'm talking about the free use of public buildings
for groups to celebrate National Genocide Day in. I'm talking about all
those folks who get a paid holiday (most at the tax payers' expense) for
National Genocide Day. I am talking about folks such as those in Boulder,
CO who agreed to change the name of their parade to signify that it was a
heritage parade instead of a celebration of a mass murderer and who as of
yesterday changed their mind and stated they were proud of their own
personal Hitler. I leave you to ruminate over the following news release:

===============
" Our we as American citizens so blind to the truth of Columbus that we
allow our tax dollars to pay for a national holiday for a mass murderer,
kidnapper, enslaver and a thief? As a member of the Cherokee Nation of
Oklahoma, with Italian heritage myself, I take no pride in my Italian
heritage in this country. When you look at the millions of tax dollars that
have been spent on fighting organized crime in this country and countless
television shows glorifying Italian mobsters and then my tax dollars paying
for
Columbus Day, this is a National Sick Joke!

The Italian community in this country needs to wake up to their overall
dirt bag, low life image. you can view this image weekly on HBO with your
family. The Italian community is not protesting the image of them that is
being portrayed in television and movies. Columbus is the Hitler of
America!

It is another National sick joke, that of all the Federal holidays on
the books, not one of them recognize or pay tribute to the American
Indians.
The so called founding fathers of this country brought about the Federal
Government using Indian Government as a guide. Freedom of speech,
separation
of Governmental powers and Federalism was achieved by observing Indian
Governments. It did not come from Europe, Africa, Middle east or Asia.

There is not one group of people in this country that have suffered or
endured any more hardship than the American Indians, nor any race of people
on the face of this planet. Slavery around the world and human genocide in
world war two is one thing, but the Indians have endured five centuries of
genocide and wars fighting for their homeland to live in peace. With all
that this great Nation of America has today, came from the American Indians
homeland at the expense of the worlds longest holocaust against the Indian
race.

With all the support that the American Indians have given to the
Federal
and State Governments in the forming of this Country, we should not have to
ask for a national holiday. Our ancestors helped the Federal Government
come
about and achieve it's independence July 4th 1776, we have Thanksgiving Day
because of the American Indians and countless more contributions.

African Americans have proclaimed the confederate flag raciest and
should be taken out of schools and public buildings. Not one word in the
national news media is said about what the American Indians endured under
the United States flag. My question to America is why is the plight of one
group of people in this country more important to correct and make amends
for what was done to them and completely ignore what was done to the
original inhabitants of this land?

United Native America is calling on all Americans to make this country
face up to the inhuman acts committed against the American Indian people.
It
is time for the genocide of American Indians to stop now, along with the
racial exclusion of them in our society today. The Congressional Indian
Caucus in Washington DC. is drafting a national holiday bill at this time
to
bring before Congress after the first of next year, there number is
202-225-3611 ask for Kimberly Teehee or contact JD Hayworth of Arizona,
