Request for AG HOLDER to Investigate Civil Rights Violations At Pechanga and Indian Country

Many have asked HOW they can help with what Pechanga had done to their people.  Well, you can send in a letter for us.  For space, I've put up a bit of the letter, with a link to the full letter.  PLEASE send an email to Eric Holder.

Dear Attorney General Holder:

I respectfully re-submit this letter urging the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division to commence a full-scale investigation into the gross civil and human rights violations which have infected Indian Country.

Throughout Indian Country, tribal officials have taken actions which have denied and/or stripped thousands of individual Indians of their rights and privileges as tribal members and denied them access to federal benefits and programs in the areas of housing, education, health, voting and public works assistance.  Pechanga, Pala, Redding, Snoqualmie, Nooksack, Chukchansi, Enterprise, San Pascual are just a few who have terminated the rights of their people.
