And once again, REMEMBER that it was Navajo Nation Jonathan Nez who used the Presidential Line-Item Veto to DELETE funds – that the Council requested – to meet via teleconference because of COVID-19.
I asked Nez and Vice President Lizer how much of the People’s Money they spent on their Town Halls, Press Conferences especially the ones on KTNN. I remember hearing Lizer say at one of the KTNN Town Halls that the last 20 minutes of the Nez-LIzer Town Hall would be for Devotion.
I wondered what Lizer mean and so I listened to the entire Town Hall which was laced with organized religion speeches by Nez & Lizer. But the last 20 minutes were all Lizer and Second Lady Lizer PREACHING. I listened to the entire 20 minutes and they used the entire 20 minutes to PREACH about their personal religion. And it wasn’t about the Dine’ Way of Life or upholding Dine’ Fundamental Law. I’m Dine. I have a census number. I was born at Fort Defiance, Arizona. I’ve lived on the Navajo Nation for the past 30 years or more. And I did not give my PERMISSION to Lizer & Second Lady Lizer to use MY PUBLIC MONEY to PREACH to me like I have no SPIRITUALITY,’
If these TWO feel the URGE to SPREAD their beliefs then let them do it on their MONEY & TIME and not while they are REPRESENTING me because I am not about PREACHING on KTNN to Dine’ People about How they should pray & live and especially about PREACHING goodness when Lizer PUBLICLY said he supported a racist NAZI U.S. President. And then Lizer thumbs his nose at his own EMERGENCY public health order to Shelter in Place, Daily Curfews, Weekend Curfews, which are Navajo law, and attends the RACIST NAZI rally to be president again. Lizer and Nez should pay the $1,000 fine for the Navajo man from Low Mountain who was convicted of violating the Nez-Lizer Public Health Orders. The Navajo Nation police should arrest Lizer and TOSS his TRUMP butt in jail, like the Navajo man from Low Mountain.
