THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2002 "I’m in the midst of an epiphany. Watching the election returns on November 5, I realized that fear has become a primary motivation in my politics.

As dismal as the Bush Administration’s performance on Indian affairs has been, I can’t honestly say that a Democratic Congress would make things much better right now. The reason I can’t say is that the Democrats never told us what their vision for Indian country is. Instead, they told us only that things will be really bad if the Republicans control the Congress. . ." Get the Story:
