from the casino businesses.

They will stop at nothing to keep this mine from happening. It will be tied up in court for so many years by treaty challenges that the company will give up.

A friend of mine is from that tribe and keeps me informed. She gives me hope. And how ironic that the native people will save us from ourselves.

Not that we should rely on them to do all the work though. The bill still needs to be stopped and the repubs recalled.
