2. I know DC got some snow..

but I'm writing the big sissies, I mean, Committee on Indian Affairs members, & some others, to remind them of the continuing Winter weather CRISIS across Indian Country, several Tribes have been suffering since before the holidays.. Indian People are dying from the cold,lack of electricity(for refridgerating meds, ventilators, and "normal"Life)& HUMAN RIGHTS abuses. These are Elders, little Children, and Veterans.
When DC reopens, I want these "officials" mailboxes & voicemail to be overflowing..
If YOU care too, please google/youtube search:
Crow Creek Reservation(SD)
Pine Ridge (MN)

and let DC, & media know this IS news, & UNacceptable.
