  • Frustrated, Why ?
    Today I asked for a joint session of Congress where I will lay out a
    clear plan to get Americans back to work. Next week, I will deliver the
    details of the plan and call on lawmakers to pass it.
    Whether they will do the job they were elected to do is ultimately up to them.
    But both you and I can pressure them to do the right thing. We can send
    the message that the American people are playing by the rules and
    meeting their responsibilities -- and it's time for our leaders in Congress to meet theirs.
    And we must hold them accountable if they don't.
    So I'm asking you to stand with me in calling on Congress to step up and
    take action on jobs:
    No matter how things go in the weeks and months ahead, this will be an
    important challenge for our organization.
    It's been a long time since Congress was focused on what the American
    people need them to be focused on.
    I know that you're frustrated by that. I am, too.
    That's why I'm putting forward a set of bipartisan proposals to help
    grow the economy and create jobs -- that means strengthening our small
    businesses, giving needed breaks to middle-class families, while taking
    responsible steps to bring down our deficit.
    I'm asking lawmakers to look past short-term politics and take action on
    that plan. But we've got to do this together. I will deliver this message to Congress next week, but I'm asking you to
    stand alongside me today:

    "It is a Ponzi scheme for these young people. The idea that they're working and paying into Social Security today, that the current program is going to be there for them, is a lie," It is a monstrous lie on this generation, and we can't do that to them." Texas Perry

    CHEROKEE NATION TRIBAL SUPREME COURT KICKS OUT BLACK FREEDMEN TRIBAL MEMBERS
    On August 22, 2011, the Cherokee nation tribal Supreme Court ruled that changes to the tribal constitution
    which effectively removed tribal citizenship from Cherokee freedmen in 2007 were valid.
    The Cherokee Supreme Court’s Decision to eliminate the Cherokee people who were granted freedom and citizenship under the Treaty of 1866 is bad law done for a bad reason and is being delivered to assist a former chief just beaten in an election, to eliminate most of the black people from voting in the new election, says Marilyn Vann, a Cherokee Freedmen, whose citizenship has just been terminated based on this ruling. Now, I, nor any Cherokee Freedmen can vote in the next chief election next month. This is timely for Chad Smith, who lost the election and the recount, but was granted a second chance for election by this same Supreme Court. It should also not be forgotten, that following the Cherokee Nation’s highest court, the Judicial Appeals Tribunal’s decision that the Freedmen were entitled to citizenship in 2006, Chad
    Smith, then Chief, dismantled the Court and established this Supreme Court in its place and selected new judges. It is obvious this decision is the tool he is using to regain his position as Chief and deliver the blow to eliminate my citizenship and other Cherokees who have held this status since 1866.” Despite Federal and Tribal Court rulings stating the Freedmen enjoy all the rights of Cherokee citizenship, The Smith administration has kept out 90% of the Freedmen. Only about 2,800 citizens have been holding on by a thread.
