NEWSFLASH
FROM MENDOTA
Dear Friends,
I did not go to the capitol today but spoke with a few
people who did. I spent the day returning phone calls and organizing
materials for the hearings[wemay or may not have at the capitol] I heard
today that Senator Metzen is wavering about supporting the bill and having
hearings, we need constituents from South St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights,
and parts of Eagan who are supporters to call him and ask him to support
this bill and not remove his name from it and also to hold hearings on this
bill. We also need to contact Representative Jim Rhodes and ask him to
hold a hearing in his committee. We are concentrating on House members and
Senate members from the Government Operations and Veteran Committees, I did
send out some names and phone#s, and email addresses the other day. If you
did not receive this please look these people from these committees up on
the internet. We will continue to work on the members of these committees
to get their support. I will be back at the capitol part of the day
tomorrow. Hearings with the Elders and Joe HudakMNDOT Chief Archaeologist
have been postponed I will let you know when these are going to be held.
Also if we get this bill heard in one of the bodies of the legislature we
will need as many people as possible to show up. This is very important!
the legislatures need to know how many people care about this issue. We
have to get a hearing by next week and get it out of committee and to the
floor to vote on by the 19th of March or all this work has been in vain.
Please plan on taking a day off and ask others to do the same, or a few
hours off from your jobs, to attend this hearing if we get one. Imagine
the impact of 200 or more people at this event. As soon as I know
something I will let you know. We are still compiling information about the
area, If you have something to add, we needcopies of the cover sheet for
the book, Picture, article, etc, also we need the authors name, and
information passages highlighted, and the bibliography, we are going to
spend Friday and Saturday organizing this info. so we will need it before
then. This material is to help us support our case for designating this
area a Traditional Cultural Property. Also we can use this material to
give to Joe Hudak, and the Fed Highway Dept to aid them in their
determination. Please contact ASAP if you have anything. Keep up the good
work and all the prayers. Everyday someone else comes forward to help us
with this cause. Pidamiya, Love Linda
