Stop the Republican Party from attacking Indian Sovereignty

To:  The United States Republican Party, and John Flemming

A current platform in Skagit County Washington would call for the immediate
abolition of all tribal goverment and indian sovereignty in the US.
After 100 years of oppression and slum living for the first time native
peoples are practicing sovereignty, unity, and pride. For the first time
in over 100 years the economic standpoitnts of sovereign indian nations
are improving, land claims are being made, the government is admitting
its mistreatments in past years. Now this apparently threatens the
republican party. John
Fleming, the Skagit County delegate who was a main author of the
resolution not only calls for the immediate abolition of these new found
prides but the use of military force to enforce his new laws. Sound to
me like this guy is trying to take the country a step back instead of
fprward, looks like he is advocating wounded knee type tactics.
He is quoted in saying, "We think it can be done peacefully,But if
tribes were to fight the effort, then the U.S. Army and the Air Force
and the Marines and the National Guard are going to have to battle
back."

Is this the type of person that we want to be in a position of power.We the undersigned oppose this platform and all attacks on sovereignty of indian nations! The republican party claims that they advocate less government
interference, yet this known republican official advocates not only more
government but the use of military force to establish it!
This has to be stopped, no longer can people of this nature be allowed
to have the power to do things like this. Concerned citizens of Indian
and Non- Indian race are encouraged to view our archive available on the
web at http://community.wolfstar.com to see just what the republican
party is up to and the lies that they are feeding you. For further
