For 1 1 years, we have tried to break the stranglehold of a minority that has flouted the will of an entire nation, its states and their people. Today, we have lost this battle, and I must admit that fear we are losing much more. Could it be that we the people and the states are losing control of our democratic republic? The very idea of representauve 1 democracy presupposes that eleaed officials follow the will of the people. Senators have told us that calls, letters, and emails poured into their offices in support of this amendment. 1 was even told that calls were 100 percent in favor of the amendment in some offices. If the Senate refuses to follow the will of the people on an issue so clear-cuso broadly supported as the Flag Protection Amendment, then is this really a republic? Is this really our government? In the aftermath of this vote, I am not sure how to answer those questions. It is little won t, der why so many people are flocking to third parties or opting out of the political process altogether. In spite of all of this, 1 have not lost all hope. A new day and a new Congress await us in the future. And people like Senator Hatch and Senator Cleland and many others will continue to stand with us. They have my deepest appre- ciation and respect for their steadfast support and brave bipartisan leadership on this issue. Perhaps this defeat will serve call for America. as a wake-uPerhaps it will inspire us to fight harder. Perhaps it will prompt us to remind our senators in a p not-s- o subtle way that they work for us, not us for them, refuse to believe that fighting this battle was in vain. We have learned; we have grown; we have rallied a nation. And so, we will not stand down. We will not go away We will not surrender. We will continue this struggle until our federal government is put back into balance, and the peoples prerogative honored. 1 Still a need: Letter to the editor: (Continued from page 4) tags or cans.

All purchases must be paid for by check in the exatt amount, since there is no cash or change at the cannery.

The cannery is operated by the Castle Dale, Huntington and Ferron Stakes of the LDS Church and is staffed by volunteers as part of a church assignment. It is open Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 am to noon, and from 6:00 p.m. to 9.00 p.m.. Price lists are available from the cannery at those times.

WTiile 1 agree with Mr. Ward and Mr. Jensen that it is indeed frustrating to have SC members from the Wasatch Front come to Emery County to build barricades, the fatt is that they have the nght to do so and the BLM would be foolish not to accept volunteer labor. Although North Salt Wash is within the boundaries of Emery County it is Federally owned land administered by the BLM. Approximately 82 percent of Emery County is owned by the Federal government.. This means that all citizens of the United States, including SC members, are equal share holders and have the nght to be involved in its management. This fact is very hard to swallow but ignoring it doesn't change anything. If we dont participate in this management then we could soon see more closures and barricades.
