An Election Notice from the Kiowa Election Board was released yesterday announcing a special election scheduled for Saturday, October 16. Issues to be decided by Kiowa voters are: the 2011 Budget, 1 Committeeman position, and the recall of 6 Committeemen. Those being recalled are Dr. Ted Lonewolf, Sharon Pena, Tommie Doyebi, Dave Geimausaddle, Ernest Redbird, and myself.
Recall charges were filed on us by Tomacina Tsoodle Leader and they have been advanced thru the Kiowa Hearing Board and the Kiowa Election Board without due process and without affording us the Constitutionally required hearings to answer the charges. As another Committeeman stated, we (the Kiowa Tribe) are once again the laughing stock of Indian Country due to the continued recalls and the instability that results from that flawed process.
There is much to address on the current and sad state of affairs within our tribal government and I will cover some of that soon in follow-up postings. There were a great many votes cast to bring us six committeemen into office and I hope that all of your votes will keep us there. So please, vote NO on the recalls.
More to come soon on this situation and please forward this on to other Khoy Goo. Ah ho!
