I support the Wilkes and Russell's petition asking Congress to change the law as it pertains to all Indian tribes in the United States. The change would allow persons/corporations the right of redress of civil wrongs committed by Indian nations/enterprises in both federal and state courts.

Example: My daughter and friend were traveling down AL HWY 14 when a drunk driver hit them head on almost killing her, she was life flighted and the drunk driver was on the clock employed by Wind Creek Casino in Wetumpka AL, she was giving keys that morning to one of there vehicles and she was 3 times over the legal limit, she left there property and shortly after that hit my daughter and her friend, the Indians have immunity to situations like this and so does she because she works for them so that makes them not liable for her actions when they were the ones who let her get behind the wheel and drive that day, I did not know that they had immunity on situations like this and it is not right, any other business in the USA is liable for there employees when they are on the clock and they would be held responsible just as the employee would be, this did not happen on Indian property and it changed these young adults lives forever, so I am asking to please help my daughter and her friend get the justice they deserve. Thank You.

I have been reading through the experiences others have shared and I am humbled by how many of you have stepped forward to bring this issue into the light. This is entirely because of your willingness to speak up about something that should never have been allowed to happen to anyone. Please know that your connection to this cause is the only thing keeping me focused on the path ahead.

I am honestly overwhelmed by the momentum behind this because I never imagined so many people would care about this injustice. The attention this has received belongs entirely to each of you who chose to pay attention and speak up. It is your determination that is keeping this conversation alive.

If they are not accountable on our roads they should not be able to use them. This is insane.

I hope this helps. I'm not sure this is still active, but I just read the story. That is ridiculous.

To whom this concerns this law is absolutely dreadful and wrong. She was drunk very drunk AND behind the wheel.

No one should be excluded from the acts of this kind ,including the Indian Nations .They are not above the law like they think.

This happened to my best friends, they were the ones in the car wreck. What happened that day could have been avoided if she has stricter punishments. Lives could have been lost, and one was very close to it.
