Dear Editor,
I am writing in support of Jason Gatties For Pokagon Tribal Council.
Jason stands for both individual and tribal sovereignty.
He believes that a truly free people can not take money and services from an occupying state and retain its independence and dignity at the same time.
He believes the flow of information, much like the people themselves, ought to be free.
He believes real qualifications, not titles, should matter most.
Virgil Vogel wrote in 1974 in a documentary history of the American Indian:
Montaigne, Rousseau, and Jefferson paid tribute to the Indian capacity to organize human affairs in a libertarian manner. The Iroquois developed a system of confederated government which, according to Benjamin Franklin, served as an example for his Albany Plan of Union, and eventually for the Articles of the Confederation.

Could I get you guys to write a “LTE” on my behalf? We are coming up on 1 month until the election and the more LTE’s I can get published, the better. I’m in a unique situation in that our tribe members are basically spread out over a 10 county/ 2 state area, which makes your typical style of campaigning tough. Thats why I’m hoping LTE’s will reach those I’m unable to visit or those who are unable to check out my campaign site.
The LTE info can be found at http://www.mujaji.net/pokagon/involved.html
Pick any of the publications listed. It would be a great help to me and I would return the favor 10 fold in the future.
Jason Gatties



I wrote one as well.
Good one. Better than mine.
Thanks, Paulie, but I don’t think it’s better than yours. It’s just different, which only proves we didn’t cheat and copy off each others’ papers.
