Molina, regarding support of Dan Lungren. I have NEVER supported Dan Lungren. I have NEVER voted for Dan Lungren. I backed and campaigned for Dr. Bill Durston. I am behind Dr. Bera. I believe my party, the Democratic Party, is on the only SIDE - THE RIGHT SIDE - in regard to the passage of Affordable Health Coverage for ALL AMERICANS. How in God's name could I ever support a man who is against this. Whoever wrote that message using my name is a rotten SOB. There was a message that was not sent by me, Mary L.

We all understand that cutbacks are inevitable in this time of economic crisis, but is this the way to go?

]]> Comment on One Nation, Under the Great Spirit by tim twotribes http://blogamador.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/one-nation-under-the-great-spirit/#comment-577 tim twotribes Sat, 11 Oct 2008 23:22:38 +0000 http://blogamador.wordpress.com/?p=62#comment-577 Many thanks for the time and effort put into this. I have a deep personal interest in any info concerning the Great Spirit and the Native American beliefs concerning the Great Spirit. It of course varied from tribe to tribe, and from culture to culture. Any info that anyone has on this will be greatly appreciated. Please email me at sawdcm@yahoo.com. Also, are you aware of the casino built on the Cherokee reservation in North Carolina? Another addiction for our people. Even the counsel of elders is not to be trusted. The Eastern Cherokee Language is now know by only 1000 members of this tribe, and NONE of them will agree to even consider teaching it. They do not trust Universities, etc., even their own counsel is corrupt...the language will die out at this rate. The Western Cherokee language is all that is taught now, and it is a corrupt language. A damned shame. Take care. Many thanks for the time and effort put into this.

It's a hillbilly rag that disqualifies itself from quality journalism through its private good ol' boy agendas, daily typos, and consistent and intentional reporting of false information.

Do you know how many bands existed before the greed for gold in California? Should you wonder why there are Tribes with few members? Has anyone asked any business owner how many people are in your family because that will be the determining factor of whether you can open your doors... very nice article. raised good points, however very difficult to judge one woman as greedy until you have walked in her shoes, fought her battle, and plan for a Tribe’s future that was nearly exterminated.

]]> Comment on Jackson Hills developer considers asking city council to reconsider by Leila http://blogamador.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/jackson-hills-developer-considers-asking-city-council-to-reconsider/#comment-533 Leila Sat, 01 Mar 2008 05:17:33 +0000 http://blogamador.wordpress.com/?p=66#comment-533 I don't even have to look at the development to say - what are they thinking? Why is anybody wanting to put up a whole bunch of new houses in the middle of the worst slump we've seen in a generation or more? Dumb, dumb. There are some dumb, monster projects under consideration in Oakland and Alameda that I believe will never get built, because there is way too much supply as it is, with more units getting finished every month. Looks like the developers see the writing on the wall, too. Lord I hope the city isn't being asked to subsidize this or give tax breaks or something. (Oakland is notorious for giving away the farm to developers with big ideas) I don’t even have to look at the development to say – what are they thinking?
