Number one, we are on stolen indigenous land. There has not been a single mention of that, and it's going to continue to happen if this deal is ratified as it is.
Number two, we should not sink to the level of the mentality of the nerd trying to get into a fraternity who is pressured to sexually abuse a drunk girl at a party—the drunk girl being our natural resources as well as our sovereignty. We shouldn't think that if we can just join that club it will be better for everyone. Probably not.
Number three, show respect and dignity for the intelligence of your voters by holding these hearings in public. This is not public. This is a hotel with security where 70 people, at best, are in attendance. That's appalling. Don't call this public. This is private.
