In regards to FULL Federal Recognition for the Lumbee tribe, I believe we ARE long overdue! To my fellow Lums: If you have a problem with the tribal government, get involved! Not ALL Lums are greedy, and not all Tribal Council members are corrupt. You must trust your decisions & have faith that the people YOU elect are the right individuals to get the job done in an ethical fashion. If not, then run for it yourself & make a change!! Last but not least, to the "individuals" who wish to REMAIN ignorant to the Lumbee culture & history: Just remember that your public ignorance is more damaging than greed, lies, and any other problem combined. I suppose you still believe that Christopher Columbus discovered America and the moon is really made of cheese... How silly of you to promote discrimination in this day and age.

Robeson County pays enough taxes that our agencies should not depend on the commissioners for handouts. Get real when a real budget is put together to keep the commissioners from taking our tax dollars to by votes then we won't settle for the slithering around saying here is a little donation. IT IS OUR MONEY THEY ARE HANDING OUT. In 24yrs what has he done for our economy, education, and crimerate. OH 100 out of 100. We can stop there. It gets worse. I pray Faline blows him back to the big house where he resides. JUST SAY NO TO BUYING VOTES. Wake up RESCUEBOY. He gave you your own money back!!!!!
