Thoughts
for the day
A nice day here.
Last night the Northern Lights were
visible in parts of our little mountain town. I didn’t see them as Mt. Elden
blocked the view. However, many others have posted some great pics. They were
visible because of a storm on the sun. They may reappear tonight.
I was glad to hear from my colleague
Wes who sent an email to say they lost electricity a couple of times, but no
major damage from Milton.

Native
American Facts…
Native American Tribes Have
Fought for Voting Rights
Despite being granted U.S.
citizenship in 1924, many Native Americans faced significant barriers to voting
well into the 20th century. Some states used literacy tests, poll taxes, and
other discriminatory practices to disenfranchise Native voters.
It wasn’t until the passage of
the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that Native Americans gained full access to the
ballot box. Even so, many tribes have had to fight for equal representation and
voting access.
In recent years, Native
American activists have challenged voter ID laws and polling place closures
that disproportionately affect indigenous communities. These ongoing struggles
highlight the importance of protecting and expanding voting rights for all Americans.
