Amy should be investigated. Talk about a conflict of interest. Her daughter is being funneled information that is being used in a law suit? If true, Amy should be behind bars. Can the IRS please check her accounts.

Robert knows the truth that is why he is so angry, he does not want an audit. Keep up the good work. Fight for truth and justice.

How do you say " forensic audit" , I bet we would find big payoffs to the BIA particularly one Amy Dutschke. Wow! Where are the Feds?

Forget the Feds, they're to busy counting how much Robert contributed to their retirement fund this month

Good one Anonymous. Sara Sara Sara where did you go to school? Long, rambling, run on sentences are just not lawyerly, especially when you forget what it is YOU are trying to say. Page 2 of your letter, paragraph 2 "Not coincidentally, this timing coincides with the tribe's determination that Margarita Brittain - the person through whom certain of your clients claimed membership in the Pala Band- had insufficient blood quantum to satisfy the Pala Band's membership criteria,". Hell, she was 4/4. I think that's plenty to qualify for membership. Sara don't you have a proofreader?

What is the Tribe doing buying property in that area. MAYBE someone should confront them as to why this property is in the name of Pala Band of Mission Indians.

Why does pala not vote on only having two terms in office as chairman? Than you wouldnt have this problem ever again

Pala did have term limits in place but the greedy Robert Smith did away with them, and now refuses to bring them back because he would for sure be gone.

ROUND #3
Pala EC has called another special meeting for the 23rd. of Sept.
ON THE AGENDA 1-call to order @ 7PM
2- Invocation
3-Approval of agenda.
4-Amendments to ord. 14-Assignment of tribal lands
key changes to ord. 14
5- Adjournment.
Better be careful these are the types of meetings that the EC includes their sneaky approval of shit that they want done and no back lash from anyone. Just vote it down for now. these assignments are just fine the way they are. the EC must have a hidden agenda and needs to put in some kind or ordinance to make it effective.
If you vote yes make sure that the final will be shown to the members before a final vote is cast. Don't vote yes on a draft like you did at the other meeting on the evictions.

According to Robert Smith Constitution, the General Council can only vote by two methods, Show of Hands or Secret Ballot. The use of the electronic voting devices is illegal according to that sacred piece of crap called a constitution. Stand up for your rights. Demand a secret ballot vote and vote against the EC and their taking of GC authority. Remember that the power of the GC is to manage all affairs related to tribal lands. Yes the constitution says that it authority can be delegated to the EC but any authority the EC exerts must not violate the constitution. Giving the exclusive authority to evict anyone from the rez to the EC violates the constitution and would require an amendment to the constitution and not just a change in the ordinance. Exercise your rights GC. No electronic voting. All electronic voting is and has been illegal so anything passed by the GC via the electronic voting device is invalid. Know your rights. Know your rights. Yes GC you do have rights.

MEMBER OF PALA.PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO VOTE NO TO ANY CHANGES ON LAND ASSINGMENTS TOMORROW NIGHT AT THE MEETING. VOTE NO ON EVERYTHING THAT THE EC WANTS TO PASS.REMEMBER, THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED.

If Robert Smith and the EC are claiming that their Constitution is legal then why is all the land taken into trust decisions from the BIA STATE THAT THE BANDS GOVERNING DOCUMENTS ARE THE ARTICALS OF ASSOC. AND NOT A CONSTITUTION.THESE ARE DECISION LETTERS WRITTEN TO THE PALA BAND FROM BIA REGIONAL OFFICE IN SACRAMENTO, AND SIGNED BY NON OTHER THAN AMY DOUSCHBAG HERSELF.THESE ARE ALL RECENT TRANSFERS OF FEE TO TRUST APPROVED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
THIS INFO CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH THE FOIA,FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.

I think that to nights meeting was the shortest meeting ever, at Pala.
It was only long enough to make a motion and take a vote, and bam it was over.
Maybe the EC was mad because things didn't go the way that they thought it would. You can tell that Smith was not happy with the results when he said, well that's all we have so thanks for coming.
I am very proud of the way that certain members stood their ground and voted down the land assignment amendments.
GOOD JOB GUYS SICK TO YOUR GUNS AND DON'T GIVR IN. Your Ancestors are smiling at you.

WOw, that is good news, finally one decent thing to happen.

See Tribal Members, taking a stand doesn't hurt that bad does it.
Good job Mr. Castillo for you motion and good job for all those that vote to not approve the amendments to the land assignments. This is what it's going to take for the Pala People to take back the Control of the Band and to rid the Reservation of the Corrupt EC members.

Anonymous said...

MR.CASTILLO should run against Slobber Smith this around. I truly believe that he could beat Robert if the election is run in a fair way, maybe by an outside firm or by the DOJ if need be.
Think about it Mr. Castillo, you have won a lot of support from the last meeting and for sure the larger voting blocks will support you.
PLEASE< PLEASE< do it for you people.

Putting peoples names out like 2:15 and 10:59 just makes them marks for EC evilness.

That is a very interesting question. Maybe there is no Constitution, like the EC says.
The reason that I stated that this is very interesting is because isn't Robert Smith the Chairman of the California Fee to Trust Consortium? So he himself knows what the Documents state. So he, himself is aware that there is no mention of a Constitution, that would lead me to think that the Pala Bands Governing Documents are in fact the articals of association, and not a Constitution as the EC is claiming.

what exactly were the amendments to land assignments??

Anonymous said...

None, it got voted down, a motion was made to NOT amend the land assignments, a vote was taken, motion passed, by a lot NO AMENDMENT CHANGES.
Finally someone stood up to the EC and voted against an amendment that would have given the EC more power.
Very Good move General membership, and hats off to the person that made the motion and made this possible. However just watch the EC real close now because they are angry and will try again by turning something else around and sneak this amendment in. Just keep voting their Amendments down if it gives them more power.

As soon as the EC saw the outcome of the vote, Robert said well that's all we have thank for coming Meeting is over.

Anonymous said...

Ha Ha Ha Ha. I know that was awesome. It's gonna take everyone efforts to overthrow the EC, and it is doable. Those land assignment amendment s were ridiculous degrading and just wrong, especially to your own people. Elections coming up. Now is the time.

OK ROBERT SMITH AND THE EC, PROVE TO US THAT YOU HAVE A LEGAL CONSTITION FOR THE PALA BAND OF MISSIONS. NOT THE PALA BAND OF LUISENO MISSION INDIANS. THE PALA BAND OF MISSION INDIANS.
SHOW US THE VOTING PROCESS AND OUT COME OF SUCH ,AND THE REGIONAL APPROVAL OF SUCH, AND THE ASIA APPROVAL OF SUCH. WITH DATES WHEN SAID WAS DONE AND ACCEPTED.
OTHER WISE WE WILL OPERATE UNDER THE ARTICLES AS IT SHOULD BE.
IT'S TIME TO COME CLEAN FOR THE PEOPLE OF PALA AND START FRESH OR BE "DAMNED" FOR THE WRONGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE BY LIEING TO THE MEMBERS.IT'S YOUR CHOICE.

Anonymous said...

WELL THEN PALA EC I GUESS WE HAVE YOUR ANSWER. YOU WOULD RATHER BE DAMNED THAN TO ADMIT THAT YOU ARE GUILTY OF FRAUDING THE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP OF THE PALA BAND OF MISSION INDIANS.
