Hillary on native american issues
This is excerpted from the site of the Ojibwe tribe:
http://www.millelacsojibwe.org/PressReleaseDisplay.asp?id=172
"During her husband's eight years as President, she spent more time in Indian Country than any other First Lady, giving particular focus to the reservations in most need. She also supported President Clinton's strengthened relationship with tribes - the strongest it had been in the nation's history. President Clinton coordinated the first-ever economic summit to build up tribal economies and was the first President since Franklin Roosevelt to visit a reservation.
As Senator, Hillary Clinton has supported funding for American Indian health care, housing and education programs; co-sponsored legislation related to Indian-owned small businesses and the protection of tribal cultures; and spearheaded a campaign to close the minority health care divide. She also co-sponsored the Native American Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Technical Amendment Act of 2001, which clarified the eligibility of Indian women for the optional Medicaid eligibility category added by the Breast and Cervical Prevention and Treatment Act of 2000."
Look at her record before writing incendiary headlines like "Hillary Clinton to Indian Country- Drop Dead" You sound like you write for the New York Post, that is the sort of headlines THEY write, or the national enquirer. You don't define a candidate's entire relationship with one group over declining one event. One debate does not keep an entire underepresented group disenfranchised. Hillary has done a lot for native americans.
Also you have an agenda mole. John Edwards and Barack Obama have also specifically not accepted the invitations. If one of them had been the first to decline, I strongly believe you would not have written "Barack Obama to Indian Country-- Drop Dead" or "John Edwards to Indian Country. Because you don't have an agenda against them. With Hillary you are looking for shit to throw against the fan. You are biased, just admit it.
