Citing his strong belief in tribes as sovereign governments and stellar military credentials, the Native American Times has endorsed General Wesley Clark in the Democratic Primary. The editorial will appear in the January 1, 2004 editions of the Native American Times, the Native American Times New Mexico edition and the website www.nativetimes.com. The Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and North Dakota primaries will all be held on February 3, 2004. Those states have significant Native American populations who are traditionally registered as Democrats.
An editorial explaining the decision states that Clark has “…proven to be a remarkable leader. If words are a person’s bond, and actions are even more telling, then Clark is the clear choice from a Native and non-Native American perspective. If our country truly desires peace, it will need a proven peacemaker. Only Clark fits that role."
"Indian people share a common ground with Clark and his military service. Native Americans have volunteered for service, during peacetime and wartime, in greater numbers than any other racial group. Most of us know a Native friend or relative in the armed services right now. Clark appreciates the commitment Native Americans have displayed in defending their country and has expressed it on numerous occasions.
"Like most United States citizens we want a leader who takes serious consideration before sending our young men and women to war. Clark has a deep understanding of the dangerous world we live in and is best prepared to win the war and win the peace. Sometimes it takes more courage to negotiate than to simply fire your weapon. It was clearly evident during Clark’s management of the crisis in Kosovo." |
