Message To,The elected servants of the Cherokee people:
Sam Ed Bush, Mary Flute Cooksey, Bill John Baker, Dora Mae Watie, Charles Hoskins, non-elected, Byrd appointed Harley Terrell, Barbara Mitchell Conness, and Don Crittenden.
History will note your "treason" on this day, May 3, 1997. Cherokee History will tell the story of how you attempted to sell out your own tribe to the federal government and how you stabbed the nation in it's youthful heart of new self-governance. History will record not only did you betray your own Cherokee people, you betrayed Native American tribes throughout America.

Our posterity will read about how you attempted to sell out our nation to the Federal government for the sake of federal political "damage control" and avoidance of your own Chief's criminal investigation in a court of his own peers.

Our grandchildren will read how you helped Joe Byrd, Garland Eagle, Joel Thompson, Mark McCullough the non-Indian financier of Byrd's campaign for Chief, non-Indian Bruce Taylor, the U.S. Federal Government BIA, the embarrassed Democratic Party that picked Joe Byrd as their "token" Indian Chief to road trip around during the past federal election year with the U.S. Democratic President of the United States hoping to influence the "Indian swing vote" not realizing that their "token" was under a criminal investigation for misappropriated federal and tribal funds.

Native Americans throughout the Cherokee Nation and across the country will not forget your names, nor will they let this matter pass until the truth is revealed, and it will be. Not until then will they rest... and all of you mark these words well... not one day before that time will there be rest in the wounded hearts and spirits of our people.

Ancestors are crying out through our spirits to defend our sovereignty and the people's integrity. They cry with us over the tragic failure of you Cherokee leaders to hold dear your promises that you made to the people to uphold our laws and respect the people's will. It will be done, the truth shall be revealed. History will deliver your legacy to your children's children and their children, and they will be dishonored by your deeds.

Shall it be said, "forgive them for they know not what they did" when they crucified the young self-governing nation of the Cherokee people.

We cry again in this unending trail of tears to rebuild a sovereign nation of people, but the tears are particularly bitter this day because you, our own people, have attempted to give our nation back the U.S. Federal government for personal gain.

History will note kindly that (7) of the peoples' elected servants stood up for them today... and history will also note that the Honorable Councilman Jiggs Phillips stood up and walked out of your "kangaroo court" today and told you that it was "illegal" and unforgivable; and that he would not stand for your attack on the core of the peoples court; your attempt to impeach the honored and outstanding jurists of Cherokee Nation's Judicial Tribunal (the nations highest court); Cherokees who have respectfully and faithfully served the nation; protected our people rights; and have insured that our Constitution works for all the people for the last 20 years. We say to Cherokee Councilor Harold Jiggs Phillips... our hearts rejoice in your wisdom; we say this also to Councilors Troy Poteete, Barbara Star Scott, Harold DeMoss, Nick Lay, Paula Holder, and William Smoke and our 15 Cherokee Nation Marshals... we say thank you for your unselfish dedication to the Cherokee people.
