Description:
THERE WILL BE NO GUNS! “YOU ARE ON INDIAN LAND”Mohawks are being held hostage on Cornwall Island by Canada and the U.S. until we agree to let the gun toting border guards roam around the middle of Akwesasne. The Minister of Public Safety won’t talk to us. Why? In the meantime boats and barges are shuffling kids, food and other necessities to us."We need more support here, the CBSA - Canadian Border Service Agency - is trying to supercede our laws on Akwesasne land, we need petitions and support voiced worldwide""They are trying to arm the CBSA, we have a park where the kids play and also houses right next to the customs, also there are reports and complaints of harrasment and abuse filed against agents there, they have strip searched a 16 yr old female, the Granddaughter of a respected member of our community, and that's just for STARTERS. Now they want GUNS? Never! We have tried to talk to them, they wont listen, Van Loan is an idiot, Parliament is a joke".Peaceful protests are needed, the petition below needs to be widely circulated, signed, posted and reposted, if you can get up to Akwesasne PLEASE DO, if you know people in the Akwesasne, Cornwall Island, Hogansburg area, please let them know, copy and paste this, send it to your email buddies, post it on MySpace, on your groups, everywhere.http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/NoGunsForCBSA/index.html
