On MUTA and MUTUK; Tim Nyor
Nobody, I believe, is against these two organisations, what they stand for, and their activities. What is being faulted is the humongous prodigality, monstrous improvidence and the titanic squandering of taxpayers money associated with the annual jamboree in America.

They want our land; But who are they?
