Keep the momentum going!
These are Republicans! Where are our Democratic congressman supporting this?

[paineinthearse]

1. Massachusetts still has a law on the books

Prohibiting native americans from entering Boston.

[azndndude]

2. The law was repealed last week

4. Beat me to it!

We also still have a law that you have to have your shotgun with you when crossing the Common, in case of ....BEARS! No eating more than three sandwiches at a wake, and one of my favorites, no gorilla is allowed in the back seat of any car (violated everytime his pretzeldunce comes to town?).

All states have stupid laws, see some here!! http://www.justafreak.com/law/index.shtml

18. when i lived in new england,

i was a bartender about 25 years ago. there were so many outdated blue laws, like customers could not table-hop, go from one to another with their drink in their hand. you could not have more than x-number of ounces of beer on the table, which amounted to anything more than a pitcher. it was silly. we didn't follow those rules, of course....

10. Massachusetts use to have a law on it's book crimmilizing withcraft

I think it was removed in the 80's or 90's.

3. Now we have the

bushreich doing the same thing to the American People.

I think the Native Americans deserve much more than a damn apology!

[FreedomAngel82]

5. I think so too

Much more.

6. Yes, it is true, but an apology is an start

We would like our land back, but that's not going to happen

[Cha]

12. I hope you get your land

back someday.. and an apology would be a good start.

7. ....and also the Chinese slaves that helped build the railroad system

and died working in the mines and also the blacks that helped build America.

[Cha]

11. Yes! And Reparations would

be in order right along with those belated apologies.

[Zorra]

8. McCain has a huge Native constituency in Arizona and he is pandering,

like he always does, for the American Indian vote.

There is a reason that Native Americans overwhelmingly vote Democrat. Democrats overwhelmingly support Indian sovereignity and other rights.

Republicans, on the whole, would nuke every rez in the country if they could get away with it.

[Cha]

13. The minute I saw that I knew

mccain was pandering..he couldn't support bush and give a damn about real people.

[Zomby Woof]

15. You nailed it

He wants their votes, and nothing more.

[lonestarnot]

16. Well has anyone informed that we have a daily fire sale on sovereignity to

China and Japan?

[AntiCoup2K4]

17. And the uranium they would use to build the nukes...

...would probably have been mined from the rez anyway.

9. I am under the impression that McCain has a miserable record on

Native American rights in his own state. In particular supporting the forceful relocation of Dineh Indians while Peabody Coal raped and poisoned the land.

Sure John, but I think you also owe a personal apology.

14. Good. n/t
