BONUS Episode: Mark Charles Washington Convention

In this special episode of Native Opinion, we simulcasted the Mark Charles presidential campaign's online virtual convention. This convention had two purposes. First, the campaign is working on getting Mark's name on the ballot in the state of Washington. To do that, they need to collect 1,000 signatures during a convention, and due to COVID-19, the state of Washington only allows that convention held virtually.

The campaign is asking registered voters in the state of Washington to register on its website to demonstrate their attendance. They will also collect signatures on a petition to get Mark's name on the ballot. The second purpose of this convention is to rally our supporters throughout the country, and our campaign is thrilled to announce my running mate at this convention! With the announcement of Mark's VP, the door is now open for the campaign to begin the process of filing to be a write-in candidate in 36-38 states. We also need to get their names on the ballot in 3-5 states, thus ensuring that people in 41 states, including DC, will have the option to vote for our ticket in the General Election on November 3.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

In our Native News segment:

The Flandreau Santee Sioux tribe has a victory in the Supreme Court of the United States against the corrupt actions of South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem.

The Drummer of Rock Group U2 Donated 100,000 dollars to help the Navajo and the Hopi. Over 8 million dollars have been raised by a variety of private groups to Help these nations who have more COVID–19 cases per capita than that of New York and New Jersey combined. Yet The United States can commit two trillion dollars to benefit (largely) Big business and (some) citizens of the country.

Also:

We keep hearing “we are all in this together” with respect to the Coronavirus. But are we? You wouldn’t know it given the action of 40% of American citizens as well as some politicians. We provide some examples of this.

In our Racism in America segment:

We provide an update on the alleged (but likely) murder of George Floyd after the arrest of the police officer who kneeled on his neck. Also, White Americans Need to Condemn White Racism in America… the thoughts by Pastor and author John Pavlovitz.

EPISODE SUMMARY:

If anything is to be learned from this pandemic it is how woefully unprepared the United States has been in many areas. Americans are starving, as the country deals with food shortages particularly in urban areas.

A recent poll taken shows 37 % of Unemployed Americans ran out of food in the Month of April. If you can’t work and make money, how do you buy food to live? Native People are also a part of this percentage who also live in urban areas. We look at this poll.

Also, despite the pandemic, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is back in operation, and working virtually. One of their cases may affect the jurisdiction of Oklahoma as it pertains to the 5 tribes within the borders of the state. At stake… Did the United States Congress dissolve the Muskogee Creek reservation, and remand jurisdiction to the state of Oklahoma? We take a look at Federal Indian Law, as well as potential scenarios that could play out for this case.
