When...

is enough, enough?
Like many of you, I have watched all the bickering and bantering and mud slinging for too long now.

Let's get on with things. I remember my full blood Caddo grandfather telling me - and I'll pass it on - that you can disagree with someone (Caddo) but to do so repectfully. And that just because you don't agree with them on an issue doesn't mean it has to be personal. We are all living, breathing Caddo people. Let's disagree, if appropriate, and then move on without malice, without swearing retaliation.

Unfortunately, I sometimes introduce myself as Caddo and half-abashedley as the only tribe in Oklahoma without a casino.

We are so far behind the curve right now. We are soon to miss the casino boom. Only I40 might save us from that. But we have to get along for a common good. Let's not "punish" people for making honest mistakes. I don't know what happened in the Joyce Hinse case and I don't care.

IMO, those who now can (Tribal Council), should now answer every question by asking themselves, "What is best for the Caddo Nation as a whole?" Forget personal jealousy.

Many of us are in personal situations where we don't need to depend upon the tribe. But don't we all still want to be proud of who we are, of our tribe? Please, please, let's move forward, let's have some real progress, some real accomplishments.

I know that both sides (pro-LaRue and anti-LaRue) probably believe that they have the best interests of the tribe in mind. And that is fine. But don't get personally offended when a decison is made that goes against yours. Don't feel the need for retaliation. Find a way to make that decision work for us all.

Just my humble opinion.

Let's quit fighting amongst ourselves.

Re: When...

How can you say we should not get personally offended by contrary decisons that take funds,jobs and honest elections away from the caddo people.

What are you talking about? This is a dictatorship when someone is in office for 9 years without legal elections. What would or will happen if the tribe has a casino and the real money becomes the issue.

We don't want retaliation we want honest government by the people of the people for the people.
You can not expect us to sit back and wish for the right thing to happen!!! I have said many prayers that I get to vote for someone of my choice and not get cheated out of any real choice for free and fair government.

They (LaRue and her faction) don't have the best interest of the tribe in mind. Rigged elections to stay in power and no audits to truthfully tell where the money has gone and to whom.

What a joke to say that is the Caddo Way to let them cheat us, our children and elders out of our constitutional rights.

The "Pro-LaRue" only has LaRue's and Posse's best interest in mind and does what ever she wants with no accountability and the "Anti-LaRue"(the Caddo tribe)
have to take it because there is no honesty for us.

Get a clue and don't insult us with "find a way to make her decisions work for us"

If you have been following this pathetic saga as you say, how can you not recognize the injustice unless you voted for her??

Re: When...

Double DITTO !
Mke decisions work , well the decision of the council was to remove Hinse, then Parker and her crew should recognize that decision but a letter to the agency from Hinse states otherwise, THe chairman has not declared the seat of Vice-Chariman vacant. First of all, the Chairman does not have to declare it vacant, if she, the removed and will remained removed, would read the Constitution, it states upon the removal- the seat becomes vacant.
And yes I will take it personally, the Constitution if for us all. It is too be followed, and under LaRue terrible terms as Chairman, the Constitution is just like toilet paper, just something to wipe your butt with. So yes, I take it personal,
The only thing you are right about is that we are behind, she can't blame the previous council 5, and she can't blame this one, its her. She can not lead.
You all need to wake up, and realize that fact, the sooner we are rid of her the better off we will be, and the audits that another thing, Hey you hire the audiot for day to day operations-you are going to have a clean audit But wait, guess what you can audit your own work. DUH Wait until the federal government sends every audit back that he has done , and states redo them .
Please don't insult us with this lets get a long crap. Enough is enough alright, I for one can not wait until her term is up knowing she can not run again, and will not be in that office.
