WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 2002 Oglala Lakota tribal member Ed McGaa is facing a challenge from his own Green Party over his candidacy for U.S. Senate. A rival faction says McGaa is not pro-peace enough. To prove he is, McGaa says he will introduce a bill, patterned after Lakota tradition, to draft all appropriate age sons of members of the government and Congress into the Army or Marines. "You'll be surprised how this would eliminate future wars," his web site reads, according to The Minneapolis Star Tribune. According to a poll conducted by the paper, McGaa has 3 percent support.
