Senator Brownback, Abramoff, & Native Resolution of Apology?

How's this for irony? Senator Brownback (R-Kansas) reveals that he received over $42,000 from Jack Abramhoff. Brownback, you may remember is the senator from Kansas who sponsored a resolution of apology for Native Americans for the years of mistreatment and broken covenants from the US government. Abramhoff stands accused of defrauding several tribes of over $82 millon. He currently is working out a plea with the Department of Justice that may implicate several members of Congress.

Senator Brownback says he will donate the money he received in 2002 from a PAC to a charitable cause.

I have a suggestion Sam- How about a worthy Native American charity?

Sadly I still can't support SJ 15

racial reconciliation

just got done reading another blog about racial reconciliation and Christianity and once again the native people of this continent were overlooked in the discussion. why? is it because if names for your people are used as mascots for sports teams you aren't real? is it because there aren't very many of us? it is because mainstream america thinks we have casino money and are rich?
i just don't get it...
