Protect All Children

I am stunned into sadness. How can we request billions of dollars for children who just arrived when we ignore the dying children on our reservations and reserves. These are our children, our sons, our daughters and where are hearts of compassion for Rose Bud, Warm Springs and hundreds others. Our hearts break for all children who disparately cry out for a caring, loving hand. Take care of the children, but let's start with our own home. Our own backyard. We need tears for the Navajo, Lakota, Seminole, Huran, Duwamish, Mi'kmaq, Blackfoot and Apsaalooke and countless others waiting for us to care. We care for the children of South America and we care for the children who have been crying for hundreds of years in North America. All will be well when we come as one family to protect all of our children. We are all fathers and mothers and these are our children.
