Senator Barbara BOXER WILL RETIRE! Hallelujah, After A Decade of Failure to Protect Native Americans UPDATE

Word breaking this morning that California Senator Barbara Boxer, who has done NOTHING to protect the civil and human rights of Native Americans harmed by their own tribes, will retire.

UPDATE:  ISSA fires a volley:  There’s been a vacancy for two decades,” Issa said outside a men’s room near the House floor. “The fact that she’s not running doesn’t change the fact it’s always been a vacant office.”


We met with Boxer's Native American legislative analyst last year, on a bill where Pechanga was attempting to redefine what an allottee was, and steal our water rights, a bill written by the high paid lobbyist wife of Pechanga Chairman Mark Macarro.    At least her guy had the decency to be EMBARRASSED when called out on her sponsorship of the bill.

Is it too much to hope that we can get someone in office who will ACTUALLY care about what tribes are doing? Can we find someone to put an end to corruption?

 GOODBYE Senator Boxer, sorry you were so ineffective and unresponsive to the needs of your constituents.


 Here's the type of response we got from her on the Water Rights Bill:
