15. Dear President Obama:
Tue Jan 22, 2013, 11:40 PM
Jan 2013

Congratulations on your victory.

If you are in western South Dakota (maybe you needed to land at Elsworth AFB), please visit Pine Ridge.

1) Visit the tribal leaders. Hear their stories and their requests.
2) Visit Wounded Knee
3) Go speak to the kids at the Red Cloud Indian School
4) Go meet with the folks at Re Member, and learn about the good work that they do...

BUT...

BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THAT...

Make an unannounced visit to Whiteclay. See it for yourself, because few would believe that this really exists in America. Then, after you've seen Pine Ridge, think about what can be done to solve that problem.
