Indianz.com… Rep. Tom Cole: The 'American dream' is all about free

markets

Freedom is the American Dream

By Rep. Tom Cole (R-Oklahoma)

Congrats to all the little Educare

graduates whom will be in first grade

next year at the "Big School."

Little Priest graduates presented a gift

to keynote speaker, Sharon Frenchman.

She shared some of her core values and

beliefs which has kept her motivated

throughout her tribal career.

Ever since our brave forebearers

declared America’s independence, the

United States has been a beacon of

liberty, hope and opportunity.

Indeed, America is still regarded the

world over as a land where success can

be achieved regardless of where you’ve

come from. And that is because our

forebearers trusted free people, free

speech and free markets – all of which

continue to undergird the “American

dream.”

The American dream never fails

to inspire old and young alike, and I

believe its promise will continue to motivate future generations to work hard

and innovate. Because our country

has always valued hard work, we seek

to achieve and often succeed because

opportunity exists here. But it’s important to recognize that free markets are

fundamental to American opportunity

and prosperity.

V i s i t

u s

a t

How do free markets contribute to the

American dream? The answer rests in the

philosophy of freedom so foundational to

our nation. Free markets allow consumers and producers to freely participate

in mutually beneficial transactions, empowering entrepreneurs and innovators

to create the future.

While opponents of free markets often criticize corporations for dominating

an industry, their proposed solution is

typically socialization – which would

by definition grant the government an

unfettered monopoly in regulation of an

industry. The result of such regulation

would hold back job creators, including

small business owners and would-be

entrepreneurs.

Unelected bureaucrats should not

pick winners and losers in the market. I

trust the American people to do that on

their own.

Where there is more government regulation, there is always less opportunity

to innovate and allow the market for

products and services to follow its natural

trend. To illustrate, think back on rental

stores like Blockbuster or Hollywood

Video. If the government had socialized

the movie rental business in the 1990s,

Americans would still be driving to the

store hoping to borrow the one movie they

wanted to watch.

However, thanks to free markets, we

get to enjoy the benefits of innovation,

which in the case of video entertainment

has led to popular rental services like

Redbox and video streaming services

like Netflix and Hulu. Similar examples

could be drawn about cell phones, cars,

household appliances and just about

every other industry.

You don’t have to look far to find

proof that free markets have helped

Americans. It is no coincidence that the

recent economic boom was preceded

by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the

Trump Administration’s massive regulatory rollbacks.

Due to much-needed tax relief and

regulatory reform, job creators on Main

Street have been able to expand and

invest more in their employees. Wages

are on the rise, more jobs are available

and hiring continues to tick upward. In

fact, unemployment is at an astounding

50-year low.

Free markets truly thrive when insulated by healthy institutions that instill

virtue and encourage charity, including

strong families and tight knit communities. When the end is purely self-interest,

free markets cannot succeed. Rather,

they are most fruitful when they are the

means to a good end—like having enough

money to take your family on a vacation,

purchasing your spouse a gift “just because,” donating money to a cause you

believe in or simply lending a hand to

help someone in need.

As evidenced right here in America, a

free market economy shaped by virtue

is indisputably the most productive economic system for fulfilling the promise

of the American dream for generations

to come.

Thoughts on a Struggling Community...

By Lance Morgan

The legacy we live with as a community is really hard sometimes. The

baggage we carry from generations of

poverty is hard to escape. The lingering

effects of abuse and the cycles it sets in

motion are so hard to stop. Every once

in awhile we have to face these realities

and it is a hard truth.

I was out of town most of the last

two weeks. However, I heard about the

allegations of abuse and early death of

one of our members. I read some of

the harsh comments on facebook. I

saw the rush to judgment. I felt the

concern of parents for their children. I

felt terrible when I heard that someone

took their own life.

I wasn’t sure I should even write

about it to be honest, but I think we

never really talk about these issues

publicly and that keeps us from really

healing. I am no expert by any means

on abuse or how to handle it. All I

know is that I hate child abuse in all

forms. They are the youngest and the

most vulnerable of our people. They

deserve every chance at happiness and

a good life free from the conflict that

such things embeds into their minds.

I will just share what I heard and

thought. My gut reaction when I heard

about what was being investigated was

disbelief. I knew the person. I liked the

person. He made me laugh or chuckle

100 times. I wouldn’t go so far to say

he was a good friend, but I have never

had a cross word with him and thought

he represented a lot of good things

about our community and what we are

trying to accomplish.

I then saw some of the facebook

posts which were so aggressive. In

my mind, I didn’t want to believe it

was as bad as I heard. I thought the

investigation would shed some light on

the issue and I really wanted it to be a

mistake. But then I heard about what

happened and I honestly felt for him

and his family. Don’t get me wrong, if

something did happen to the children

then I feel that is a tragedy too, but it is

just that I think it is more complicated

then picking a side.

Someone I know in Sioux City sent

me a message condemning the person

even after he took his own life. I only

responded by saying it was a tragedy

all the way around. The person wanted

me to condemn him also, but I really

couldn’t in my mind. This is complicated. This is layered problem with a

lot of wrongs to address. When you

live in a place with so much tragedy

and abuse who do you blame? The

person? The original abusers who put

the cycle in motion? The system who

ignores us? The government who exploited us? The churches who abused

us? I think there is a lot of blame to

go around when you have lived in this

kind of system for as long as we have.

I think I choose to blame no one. I

choose just to be sad. I apologize if

writing about this offends someone,

but I think that until we can at least

have a conversation about the depths

of our issues and the root causes that

we will continue to struggle. My hope

is that things will get better and the

type of trauma we face on a regular

basis will start to slow down and then

end. In the meantime, all we can do is

push forward and survive and protect

our children and hopefully create a

better future.

JESUS OUR SAVIOR

LUTHERAN OUTREACH

"The Fruit of the Spirit is love"

How would you define the word 'love?'

The word 'love' is easily spoken but the

living the life loving not only of oneself,

difficult in itself at times to do, but others is a daily sacrifice. A Winnebago man

recently told me that his father taught

him 'that once that he became a father

- that his life would be over.' He meant

that then the life of his children would

take precedence. I am sure the same

can be said for a woman who becomes

a mother.

Here is how God defined 'love' through

Paul's letter to those sanctified in Christ

Jesus and called to be holy: 'Love is

patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it

does not boast, it is not proud. It is not

rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily

angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices

with the truth. It always protects, always

trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails' [1st Corinthians 13:47a (NIV84)].

When it comes to 'love' there has

been only one man who has loved in

this way. That man is the Son of God,

Jesus the Christ. Jesus loves us to

death - his death. God calls us to love

in the same way.

Again we turn to the Sacred Word of

God: 'Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone

who loves has been born of God and

knows God. Whoever does not love does

not know God, because God is love. This

is how God showed his love among us:

Pastor Ricky Jacob

He sent his one and only Son into the

world that we might live through him.

This is love: not that we loved God, but

that he loved us and sent his Son as an

atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Dear friends, since God so loved us,

we also ought to love one another. No

one has ever seen God; but if we love

one another, God lives in us and his

love is made complete in us.

We know that we live in him and he

in us, because he has given us of his

Spirit. And we have seen and testify

that the Father has sent his Son to

be the Savior of the world. If anyone

acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of

God, God lives in him and he in God.

And so we know and rely on the love

God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love

lives in God, and God in him. In this

way, love is made complete among us

so that we will have confidence on the

day of judgment, because in this world

we are like him. There is no fear in love.

But perfect love drives out fear, because

fear has to do with punishment. The one

who fears is not made perfect in love'

[1st John 4:7–18 (NIV84)].

Each Sunday morning at 10 we

will be taking up one of the fruits of

the Spirit. '[T]he fruit of the Spirit is

love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,

goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and

self-control.' I am also offering the same

study on Wednesday evenings from 5 to

6. Please join us at Jesus Our Savior

Lutheran Church, located directly west

of the Blackhawk Community Center.

Alexander Mallory seized travel

opportunities through scholarships

May 8, 2019

Alexander Mallory

J.D. Candidate, Class of 2019

Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law,

Arizona State University

Alexander Mallory, a J.D. candidate

graduating this week from the Sandra

Day O'Connor College of Law, is grateful for his experience at ASU Law, as

well as for the fellowship he has experienced as a student.

Mallory was the recipient of a Diversity Legal Writing program scholarship,

a study abroad scholarship from the

ASU Study Aboard Office, and a scholarship from the Indian Legal Program,

which was generously provided by Kate

Rosier of the Indian Legal Program at

ASU Law.

Coming to ASU Law he knew he was

in the right place, but was surprised

that he would be able to spend half of

his law school experience elsewhere.

“I went from Maui, HI to San Diego, CA to Milan, Italy and finished in

Washington, D.C. Each experience had

an indelible impact on my personal

and professional development,” Mallory said.

These travel opportunities were

made possible through the generosity

of donors.

“My scholarships enabled me to

spend time studying abroad and it

would simply not have been possible

without the financial support I received,” said Mallory. “Thank you for

your generosity and for changing the

lives of so many students. I, and countless others, would not have had access

to a legal education but for donors like

you who invest in students like me,”

he added.

He is most grateful for his time at

ASU Law and for his experience with

the Indian Legal Program. As a Winnebago (Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska),

Mallory is often inspired by the stories

of his ancestors.

“Millions of stories stretched across

time. Each one of them different. Each

one of them the same. I am an evolution of their stories, and each of us

contributes to an indispensable part

of something greater,” Mallory stated.

“I’m grateful my Creator gave me ears

to listen, hands to serve, and a heart

for justice. May I use these gifts and

my degree to fight for a more just and

human world,” he added.

After graduation he plans to move to

the Dallas/Fort Worth area to participate in a clerkship through the Department of Justice Honors Program.

Congratulations Alexander!
