Snyder to Obama: Veto PACT Act
The Seneca Nation is calling on President Obama to veto the PACT Act when it reaches his desk.
Seneca President Barry Snyder Sr. says the Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking Act is a blatant attack on Native American treaty rights.
If signed into law the PACT Act will bar Native American tobacco businesses from using the U.S. Postal Service for shipment of their products. Snyder says this would result in the loss of about 1,000 jobs in Western New York.
Snyder says this is a sucker punch to federal treaty rights and a direct assault on the Seneca's economy and people.
