Emails Catch Ralph Reed in Lies

Quicklink Submitted By Barbara Tutor No comments

Reed's work to shut down two Indian casinos in Texas, and a third proposed for Louisiana, in 2001 and 2002, cost the Coushatta tribe of Louisiana, whose sole source of income is a casino, an estimated $4 million. The Coushattas were another Abramoff client.

Reed maintained through a spokeswoman that he didn't know who was financing those efforts. But in e-mails made public last year, the funding was a topic of open conversation.

On June 5, 2001, Abramoff e-mailed Reed: "Not sure I understand what this bill is all about. ... Please let me know so I can discuss with the tribe."

"Rob explores the difference between a natural, organic, bottom-up connection consciousness and our corporately imposed top-down hierarchical collective consciousness. What Rob is speaking about is the difference between an artificial and ultimately stagnate way of organizing the world and a natural, organic growth, which starts with a seed, sends downs roots and sends up shoots which blossom. By returning to a Nature-based theory of connection, the Bottom-Up revolution brings us back into alignment with Earth?s laws, returning humanity to its place in creation. Like a good gardener, Rob works into the soil of his thesis different voices that exemplify how this Bottom-Up revolution is expanding in politics, business, religion, personal self-awareness and story. And he places technology where it belongs?as a tool to further our connection consciousness, not an end in itself. The bottom-up revolution is about democracy finally living up to its original ideals, where we the people decide what we need from our society."
