$250,000 to Republicans, what are we thinking
The irony is very quick to see in this; the Seneca Nation donating $250,000 to the Republican Party... for one it is the Republican Party, two: why are we giving their system money, three: don't our people need that money for something.
I am not sure if giving money into their political system is really going to help us, especially if those specific politicians do not get in. Of course I understand what they are trying to do, throw their hats into the ring, get noticed, let them know that we are knocking at the door.
But I think we maybe better off as an island amongst ourselves. Invest the money into our community. We could always need a little more. We need to find more and more ways to become more self sufficient. As it is we are not. We are relying on the materials and economic systems of New York and the US. We need to get everything to come from this land and further develop a way to make the cost of living for our people as close to zero as possible.
Could you imagine that, living life, making a salary and having no bills in regards to heating, cooling, communications and maybe a big fat farm/agricultural subsidy. To live life with no extra cost except to buy food and be happy, that is what the nation should be striving for our people.
Donating to them is only going to put us between their political spats, and it is going to piss alot of people off knowing that while sni workers are only getting paid for 37 and 1/2 hours ( and working 8 1/2), and it still takes weeks and months to get dental and medical appts and there is no place to buy clothing right on our lands. There is plenty of work to get done at home. That is where their attention should be

Well fellow Senecas...if Rob Porter gets voted into the Presidency today, you can expect to see more of this.
Need I say more???
I am confused by this sentiment: "the Seneca Nation donating $250,000 to the Republican Party... for one it is the Republican Party." Which party in NYS has been trying to tax the nation's cigarette sales? Which party requires ever increasing boatloads of tax dollars to fund all manner of wasteful enterprises (gold-plated medicaid; high-speed rail; runaway public sector pensions; etc...)? The Democrat party abuses its minority constituents to no end yet you broadcast some reflexive anti-gop comment as if it were a given that the Republican party is the enemy.
