on a personal note:21 years in Hawaii and politically active in stopping the bombing of a certain Hawaiian island by the Navy…1979-1990 was the years and Mitchell and Helms were the patriots there.10 years in Costa Rica has led me to believe that now Pres.Oscar Arias is to Bush as Halbritter is was to Cuomo,i.e.,in allowing CAFTA to throttle their neutrality in matters of war that the US has been addicted to since day one.The Boruca Nation[in but not part of Costa Rica] that pre-dates the existence of the nation of Costa Rica,are being faced with a 720 foot dam that would flood 62,000 acres and put their ancient burial grounds 100 feet underwater.Tsiokisin will allow them to speak on his show.
And so it goes…tom s.

Danielle,Victoria and Doug-George are examples of the patriots of the Haudenosaunee.And,I personally owe these folks a favor.
In 1969,it was Ernie Benedict and Chief John A.Cook who wrote to my draftboard to attest to my sincerity as a conscientious objector and that the house ofRay ‘Beans’Martin would be my ‘alternative military duty’ cite.My life-friends there I will never forget.
As a graduate of St.Lawrence U.[aug.'69],I hope the Haudenosaunee Promise[Syracuse U.]would be followed.
I can facilitate radio time with WBAI,First Voices;producer Tsiokisin Ghosthorse from NYC and the Pacifica Foundation.
Let the facts awaken the minds of students as to just who is Halbretter and what must be done.Call be,I am ready,again…tom schmidt
