The Hopi Nation: Original (and mainly forgotten) Arizonans from 1150 AD
A few days ago I had the pleasure of visiting the Hopi Indian Native Sovereign Nation in the extreme northeastern part of CD2. I was warmly received by their Chairman, Mr. Ivan Sidney, and his wonderful senior staff, Mr. Harold Joseph, his Chief of Staff, and Ms. Bertha Parker, his Press Secretary. As an East Indian myself, I felt an immediate bond of the soul, and I know, so did they. I was told that Hopis are a reserved people and do not speak to strangers. As I walked the streets just talking to people, I had many just come up to me, and some even pulled my leg with jokes and anecdotes; one even thought I was a local and asked for directions. I loved that part, since I am true citizen of the world.
Do you know that Trent Franks has been Congressman for CD2 for almost FOUR years and have never visited these people; almost 12,000 people are members of the Hopi Nation. They are in dire need of help, and these are our Arizona ancestors. How can we spend half a trillion dollars over three plus years killing 46,000 children in Iraq when I saw with my own eyes the 50% unemployment, the severe drug and alcohol problems, and desperate need for real infrastructure, the need for world class health care, and most of all jobs, jobs, jobs, close to where they live.
These are a proud people; their oldest village was established in 1150 AD and these are the oldest continuously inhabited villages in our great nation. I met many people on the streets and in the restaurants and stores. I met highly decorated veterans who have served us in all our wars, from WW2 to Iraq. These are proud people with proud wonderful traditions. These are our brothers and sisters who carry the same passport we do, UNITED STATES. Yet, Trent Franks seems to think that equality is just a useless word in the Jeffersonian document, not to be taken seriously. Trent thinks that to be a person who is served by him one has to live in the Phoenix metro area. The farther out you go from 75th Avenue and Bell Road, the less he seems to care about the area.
To be a real Congressman, one has to equally serve all residents of CD2, from birth to age 120, and no matter were they live. And not just from one party or another, when elected one serves all. Strangely, I have never met Trent Franks personally though I have been his constituent his entire time in office. Sending me postcards tooting his horn does not count. Do you know it costs tens of thousands of dollars of YOUR money each time to send out those postcards. I have told the people of CD2 that I will not waste my congressional allocated budget on useless things like self-aggrandizing postcards, I will spend it on opening fully staffed congressional satellite offices in the Hopi Nation, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Bullhead City, in addition to my main office in Sun City. I will personally visit these offices at least once a month, because I am a master at time management after running worldwide organizations. With these visits the people can personally tell me their issues and also I can share with them the contents of various House Bills that may be of interest to them. This is called a true democracy, a true REPRESENTATIVE of the people. These constituents are so pleased to hear about my opening local offices, they have offered to help me secure office space at little or no cost.
