Friend and Brother: It was the will of the Great Spirit that we should meet together this day. He orders all things and has given us a fine day for our council.

This is for any and all sides - Hillary supporters, Obama supporters, Republicans, Independents, whoever, wherever, whatever.

Is it possible to talk about issues? How about the BIG issues that affect all Americans?
