Re: Constitution News from the "Official" Caddo Nation Website

I don't think this should stand. Firstly, there are three election board members on there. Two of which are on as illegal election board members. One of which is not only on the election board but is being paid to set in the election board office and collect data. FOR WHAT AND FOR WHO?

While I think the Caddo tribe needs there to be ongoing communication to those people who want or need to be registered, this task could be taken on by a part time person and not an election board member.

Secondly, what is the **** big hurry to change the constitution? As one of the posters on her pointed out earlier, how about working on the constitution along with the court we are planning to put in place.

Could it be part of this council is wanting to amend the constitution to fit their future needs. Lets say, and I have heard the rumor, that Parker plans on running again.

What about this people?????????????????

You sure this isn't the illegal election board ? How can the council allow for this type of board. This just make me sick when I ask when are the Caddo people going to have enough of this type of dictatorship and get her the hell out. The only reason they are one there is because they want a way that LaRue can run again, she needs this- its her income the best she has ever had in her miserable life, I know that is cruel but its a fact. GET HER AND THEM OFF NOE

Re: Constitution News from the "Official" Caddo Nation Website

Thank you, Darko, for putting this on the site. Hopefully there will be many comments and suggestions.

People have been saying for years that we need to make changes to our constitution - not necessarily the ones that were made most recently. I will contact one of these good ladies and tell them some of the changes that have been suggested to me and to past constitution committees. then we will see what comes of it.

Also, one of the changes that I would like to see is something that says we must have an election at the regular time and something forbiding people like Parker from staying on and on in office without being properly elected.

Thanks, again!!
