I think you’d Like Me when I’m ANGRY! Vote BEN 2010! Ward 4, Brantford City Council!

As a member of both the Kanienkehaka Nation and the greater community at whole, my electoral options have been limited, I have never became a member or pledged my allegiance to any other nation but the kankienke’haka ne Onkwehonwe:ne’ha. This vital piece of information excludes me from participating in the municipal election (Municipal Elections Act, 1996; Qualifications of electors), also it excludes the same while voting.

I am not Canadian, and to end any assumptions I have created a personal declaration of sovereignty, expatriation and disillusion of all previous political and national allegiances. This declaration is produced from the base of all international law. We are divine and creators of the worlds we live in, the laws you live by or rather the code of ethics and the honor displayed is crucial to learning to live by “The Right of Self Determination” while finding balance in all aspects of life.

As a member of a so-called Tribal Nation (Kanienka’haka/Mohawk), one with no possible way to have proper representation through the ballet with out taking on the status of a canadian, the roles and responsibilities of such a citizen.

This process does become an international violation of the covenant chain “two row wampum” an International Contract, that separates the nations and political bodies from interfering with national and political “sovereign” matters. One that raises many question of jurisdiction and taxation, land disputes, issues that are not for the faint of heart, however living in two worlds at times you get a glimpse of shared prosperity and understanding.

This is one, but a critical factor in my campaign and success, I have a solid understanding of the needs of the city, and I plan on getting to know as many faces and share as many stories and ideas in the next few month, Even with the qualification issue.

I will be actively campaigning to share my vision and gain support of my national neighbors, friends and family.

Living Together, Planning Together, Working Together
