Please allow to to explain the reservation does exist and is jjl0lhi.ng More than a ghetto with a fancy name it is overrun with poverty crime and misery just like any other slum. While it is True that Laws no longer imprison us on the reservation As they did a few decades ago poverty and fear of the a outside world still bind my people More efficiently than chains could. The reservation is governed by the same rules that apply to every other american your concept that we Are a protected against the Laws by which you live has completely baffled me i personally know of three scholarships offered to native americans. I applied for All three in 1982, but the Supply is limited and demand great so Only a few May take advantage of them. You spoke of a giving us  did you give Money to japanese families interned in Camps during world War ii do you not give Money in suits filed against infringements on civil rights for the african americans our rights Are still non existent. Discrimination still runs rampant and please done to forget a the Only Good Indian is a dead  finally if you want to a a help us give my people Hope. Show us that Man is created equal. We need adequate housing jobs and the right to live the american dream. We done to need More self righteous excuses of Why my people were exterminated and our lands stolen from us. We be been hearing that for the past 130 years. My Grandfather fought and died in Germany during world War ii. My father fought in the korean War my Uncle in the Vietnam War my oldest brother fought in Grenada three of my Brothers and 12 cousins fought by your Side in saudia Arabia. I escaped the reservation by serving six years in the army. You Tell me when we have earned the rights guaranteed to All americans in the Constitution. A Maria Nakima High Oglala Sioux Mannheim German children need supervision where Are your children and what Are they doing do you know something has got to be done about the Chil Drin to can agers in the housing areas. While out taking pictures of my child learning to ride a Bike i was also Able to take pictures of some children kicking apart our new skateboard ramps Here at Phi Patrick Henty Village. When they were approached by my husband about it they just kept on. Where Are the parents who raised these kids to be so destructive so disrespectful of others property these Are not Small children either. These Are children who Are old enough to know better. I have dreamed for years of coming to Germany. Now i want to go Back to the states. Its not the country the germans or the Mark rate its living Here in Phi. I have a hard time letting my children o out to play for fear of their getting eat up or being taught the new word of the Day. The children Here kill Flowers that Are planted scratch your car use the bathroom in the basement but there is no bathroom Down there break things that you hang on your door tear Down decorations for holidays stay outside until All hours of the night spit All Over your children and the list goes on. These Are Only things that in be observed. In a not sure what is going on behind my Back. Someone wrote in the stars and stripes about being ashamed to be an american Here. Well in a proud to be an american Here i m just ashamed of where i live. It really bothers me when i think of All the great things trying to be done for this Community Only to have it destroyed by the people who live Here. Please help make your Community a More enjoyable place to live for everyone.

However the thing that is not stressed is that with each right comes a responsibility. We Are very Quick to talk about our rights but when was the last time you heard someone make a vehement argument about our responsibilities Many of the writers on the abortion Issue seem to feel that a woman has an inherent right to terminate a pregnancy because she feels that she cannot or just does not want to Bear the child that she and someone else has conceived. If we suppose that life begins at Conception which i believe then Isnit abortion tantamount to killing the 3-year-old that one might be tired of or for which one feels he she is unable to care its time that people own up to the consequences of their actions. Its a proven fact a sexual Intercourse causes pregnancy. Abstinence is the Only 100 percent effective method of birth control. An unborn child has a right to be born and the parents have the responsibility to give that child a Chance at life regardless of the circumstances. A Waynell Lowe Augsburg German smokers have rights too let me address this to the Guy who wants a program to Boot out smokers who can to quit. In a a smoker. You say my smoking Lowers my Job performance. Well in be never fallen out of a it physical training run and in be never failed a it test.

Lets you and i go out and throw a tent up with the Carno nets then haul some furniture or boxes of water then Well go on a hike. Ill smoke and ill still keep up with you. My smoke wont bother you because in a considerate of others feelings about secondhand smoke. But i can Only do so much like moving downwind or outside. Letters to the editor if you done to like my smoke stay away from me of also if i can to get a 10-minute break a i done to smoke. 1 done to know a Leader who would allow smoke Breaks and not allow non smokers to get some fresh air too. As far As the enemy goes i was forced to give up smoking during Basic training. If my life is on the line  it up again. So mind your own business and leave me alone. A Chi.

Well that s just Ducky i was satisfied with a $72 raise last year while working for a yearly paycheck that Wasny to even a third of your  but the government tells me that i make too much Money to be eligible for a Pell Grant to help me go to school. And you Guys feel like a a second class  my heart truly bleeds. If you Guys were to actually help solve some of this country a problems which i believe is Why you were elected then you might be Able to get away with voting yourselves a pay raise. It might be Wise however to Start considerably lower than 25 grand. If you re smart or.
