Our elected representatives in Sacramento and in Washington D.C. need to be made aware of this situation. Letters, phone calls and faxes are the most effective - emails just get lost
The point is that they are elected to address our concerns, if they hear from enough people, they will become aware. We are the voters - we have the power
Yes this may cost a few stamps and long distance phone calls
Another option is to find and join one of your local Democratic clubs and put the issue to them, and ask if they will take action.

then click on 'contact' when the reps name comes up it will give you mailing
addresses and phone numbers for congressmen - contact the local field office -
it takes ages for anything to be read as far as mail in DC phone calls to DC
would be okay - but letters take too much time.
For the state representatives, contact the local field offices and their Sacto officesI would also suggest contacting state attorney general Xavier Becerra's Sacramento
office

Will it really do any good to contact these money grabbers about the corruption in Indian country?
They seem to take the hands off approach when it comes to Native American issues.
Is it because of all the money that gets donated to them.
If so they should realize that that money actually belongs to the Native American people that are being hurt by the corruption of the leaders of the Tribes and does not belong to the leaders at all.
It sounds like a catch 22.
Make motions at the meetings to control the funds being made to these asses and then you will see a turnaround in their decision making.
If you don't send a letter or sign a petition to let your government officials know then you make it easy for them to say I didn't know this was happening.
Wasn't Karmala Harris the head of the D.O.J. at one point where she sat on her fat ass and did nothing about the complaints that were filed in her office regarding the corruption in Pala and Pechanga.
Also, contact disenrolling tribal councils.
I hear people say it won't do anything, but I send letters letting them know as a Native american they should be ashamed of their actions..
I will continue to send letters to as many disenrolling tribes as I have to.
