Dear BF Reader:
I just read over all the comments on the Indiegogo site regarding the Buffalo’s Fire video fundraiser for this website. You can read the full text yourself. If you go there, also check out my Indiegogo daily updates that I’ve been posting on this campaign. I’ve also added some new opinion, commentary and analysis posts today. Did you see what Gloria Wells submitted regarding the imprisonment of Indian women in Montana prisons? I also put Steve  Newcomb’s latest column online. He addresses Congress and plenary power — a must read.

Meanwhile, please navigate over to the Indiegogo site, you can read the full story and all the fundraising details about this campaign, including when and how money will be spent. Also, please note that the comments section on this page is open again. I had to figure out how to handle spam. It’s under control. No more spam.

Keep sharing the word on your social media networks. Let’s turn the campaign spark into a flam
