For our Nevada and Oklahoma readers, there are some political job opportunities, some career-level, opening through the Indigenous Democratic Network (INDN). They are expanding and hence hiring. From INDN:

INDN's List is seeking to fill the positions of Executive Assistant, Political Director, Development Director, and Communications Director. If you're a college student, we also have openings for paid interns!

Our team is immensely dedicated to building a brighter future for Indian Country - working day in and day out, evenings and weekends when necessary, to ensure that our First Americans aren't the last Americans to be represented.

If you or someone you know has a taste for politics, experience relevant to our openings, and most importantly a passion for civil rights and social justice, we want you at INDN's List.

Visit www.indnslist.org/careers now to find out which opening is right for you. Application deadlines vary by position, and each will be open until we find the right person.

In addition to the openings at INDN's List, our sister organization has openings for its upcoming caucus organizing in Nevada - the first effort of the Native American Network (NAN). If you want to join a non-partisan effort to make Indians the determining vote in the Nevada Caucuses and a key component in deciding the nominees of both parties, then joining INDN's List Education Fund (ILEF) is right for you.

On the eve of the election, I would like to remind the Democrats that you work for me. And for her. And for him. You work for the homeless and the gays and the farmers and the uninsured and the minorities and the innocent until proven guilty by something other than the Patriot Act.

I am voting Democrat straight down the line and none of you better let me down. I am going to watch you like a hawk and if you do not fufill your end of the deal, I am going to do all I can in my power to make sure you are severely reprimanded. After all, this is the only instance that I know of in which the employee makes more than the employer, so I feel that I should speak up when you do something I do not like, which happens quite frequently. For example, something like not standing up for health care for every American. You remember... the kind of issue you go on and on about right before the election, only to forget about after you are in office enjoying really decadent lunches that I think you might be charging to me. Why, with all that fatty food you enjoy, it is a good thing that you have such great health coverage!

So, I just thought I should clear all of this up in case you gain control of Congress, the governor's mansion, and the courts. And even if you do not become the majority, please do not be so submissive in your minority status, as you were during this latest outbreak of war. Perhaps if we bomb Iran, you can be a bit more vocal in your protests as you are chauffeured around town.
