READERS' FORUM
Continued from Pago 2
heritage as an American because of my Lumbee family.
The Lumbees deserve the full recognition that other tribes
m America receive.
Although I was raised in Chicago, Illinois by my
Irish-American Father and my Lumbee Mother, my
Native-American krnfolk have always been involved in our
lives. Many of them, including my grandmother, would
stay with us in Chicago when I was a growing child.
Often, we would visit "down home" and usually one of
the kids would spend summers in bumberton, NC. The
influences of the Lumbee culture and values are a part of
me. The Ufe of the lumbees is unique and rich with
culture. This culture is one that must be preserved in
America. The bill before Congress for Lumbee
recognition will enhance the lives of the Lumbee people
and assist our people with the support they need.
Mr. President, the resources of America are many.
Chief among these is our people. Preserving the lifeblood
of America means preserving our people and assisting
them as we move into the 21st century. While America
supports people the world over, please consider us,
American people, Native Americans, as paramount tn our
desire for recognition. The bum bees are a part of the
fabric of this country. We are a reflection of America's
backbone. ..a quality resource that you can help preserve!
As a San Diego, California resident, I praise your
efforts as President. San Diego has a large Native
American population. Lumbees are here and across the
country helping in our personal and professional lives
with the plight of the Indian. We seek your help now!
Respectfully, 1
CALVIN B GAVIN [ of the Canady-BeU Lumbee family]

"I Can't Believe

9.4% Interest

"Welcome To

mmm iPj
If your current credit accounts have a higher annual percentage rate than Wachovia's Pnme Plus VISA
or MasterCard, we can help you save a lot on interest payments. In fact, a Wachovia Personal Banker' can
even show you how to transfer your current high-rate balance to Wachovia's lower-rate Prime Plus cards and
begin saving immediately. For example, if you transferred a $1,500 balance from an account charging 19.8%,
you'd save $156 in finance charges over the next year alone. So if you're paying more than 9.4%* for credit,
stop by and talk with a Personal Banker at any Wachovia branch today. And welcome to one of the best
credit card rates available. Welcome to Wachovia.
