Nearly 10,000 Navajo people voted for Chris Deschene in the Primary Election, this gave him one of two spots in the General Election. The people had decided who they wanted to vote for and a discriminatory technicality took that away from us, took our voice away, took our rights away. This "fluency test" had never been given to any other candidate and was given with the intent to disqualify Chris Deschene. Despite the fact that he is a Marine Corps veteran, an engineer, a lawyer and a supporter of preserving our culture the Navajo Nation courts decided to take away the rights of the people. We need a president who is knowledgeable, who is educated, who is driven and understands what the Navajo Nation needs most right now, Chris Deschene is that president. Please sign this petition to convince the Navajo Nation to allow Chris Deschene to run.

I voted for Mr. Deschene and I have a right to choose who I want as our Navajo Nation President. As a member I truely believe that our nation is in desperate need of changes. Mr. Deschene is the change we all have been longing for! He is our next Navajo Nation President and he will represent us very well. I have a voice and a right to vote! Honor my vote!

I voted for Chris Deschene for changes within our NN Government for our young generations, veterans, elders and to end all the corruptions within our government. I want my vote to be honor and the right to choose who I want to be our next NN President.

The people spoke and we deserve to have our choice on the ballot. This is so unfair to all the voters who show up.
