Means can be all over the board, but he was a supporter of the Nicaraguan resistance in the 80's (because of Sandinista oppression of the Miskito Indians). Also one of the few causes his friend Marlon Brando embraced that I could also embrace.
Thune better check to see if he's still got his wallet.
Russell Means is also a pro-lifer.
Means goes out and gets support whereever he can find it. Lets face it...the number of senators out there talking about Indian affairs are very limited. So if Thune is a pro-Indian supporter...fine with me. Thats 4,000 more votes to beat the "D" man.
