To; Editor, Ketchikan Daily News

From; John A. Scudero Jr.

I pledge to be faithful and loyal to the laws of the United States, the State of Alaska and the ordinance and regulations of the Metlakatla Indian Community.

To make change, one must have the courage to stay the course.

On Election Day 2007, members of the Metlakatla Indian Community voted for change.

On Feb. 6 2008, the Council of Annette Island Reserve took away members� votes, not honoring their choice as mayor.

In a true democracy, the people�s vote is law.

As members of Annette Island Reserve, we have lost faith in our local leaders.

In years past, we would have had 20 plus candidates on the council ballot and a primary election would take place for council.

Today we are lucky to get nine candidates to sign up.

The people want a true government, one that will listen to the people and follow the laws set for in our constitution; to be honest.

In closing, one should remember that all officials take the oath of office.

John A. Scudero Jr.
Metlakatlan.
