South Dakota For Barack Obama

My name is Lynn "Sota" Hart, designer/owner of NoXcusesNone.co m RezSwish.com and Custerslastsit. com as a proud member of the Yankton Sioux Tribe located SE South Dakota. "Let's always try to remember please don't judge other people or their situation in life that we really don't know. Just "Live and Let Live" and judge only yourself and your own short comings before you judge anyone else". Anyways, I'm a honorable discharged U. S. Marine and public speaker on race relations, My dream is to promote racial harmony and peace around the world. I have been a blessed ranch hand, rodeo bullrider,bullf ighter/clown with the PRCA and the Bill Pickett Invitational Rodeo and the American Indian Rodeo Assn. A SAG/ stuntman, re-enactor with the National Lewis and Clark Expedition from 2004 to 2006 portraying 'York', Captain Clark's slave. And currently a public speaker promoting positive race relations through my program titled "Education Creates Reconciliation" . I'm a recipient of the (1992 National Making of the King Holiday Award) along with Pete Catches Sr. Lakota Medicine man from Pine Ridge,SD from Coretta Scott King Along with receiving the Sioux Color Star Quilt from my Chairman Mr. Robert Cournoyer 2007. As a result of my testimony before the state house in 1990 at the South Dakota state legislature I established the Martin Luther King Holiday and Native American Day in South Dakota. SD then became the first and only state in the Union to honor and recognize Native Americans by changing Columbus Day to Native American Day. So I wanted to place my energy into our latest social epidemic called METH. Like many American families, my family and friends in Indian country have been affected by this epidemic too. I am showcasing my five anti-meth posters with American Indian culturally relevant themes, the messages are real simple but very true. As I criss-crossed Indian Country and visited with the people working in the trenches as counselors, outreach workers, prevention workers in various programs and agencies in all thier honest efforts to educate our people about the dangers of meth abuse. The one thing I've noticed is there is very little, if any, anti-meth material available that is culturally relevant to the American Indian society that carries the message and reinforces our culture over METH abuse. I know that addiction/racis m is a powerful thing to over come and they both have no barriers. So this is my personal effort to see more messages that acknowlege our culture, Because "METH is killing our children today" references are also available for "Education creates Reconciliation" speaking engagements at your school or any community function
