Looks sort of official with the state seal and all, but if you read the fine print, you see the guide is from Louisiana Family Forum. Thanks, but no thanks. I will not follow your guidance.
Louisiana Family Forum is an organization committed to defending faith, freedom and the traditional family in the great state of Louisiana!
....
Our Mission…Yes, I know. LFF commands, and Bobby Jindal obeys. I had a laugh when the group noted that neither Sen. Mary Landrieu nor Edwin Edwards responded to their questionnaire. Former Gov. Edwards is the lone Democrat among 12 candidates in my 6th District, so he will get my vote.
To persuasively present biblical principles in the centers of influence on issues affecting the family through research, communication and networking.
Here's my friend Lamar White on Louisiana Family Forum.
The Louisiana Family Forum is the most powerful and successful lobbying organization in a state brimming with lobbyists and special interests , and Gene Mills, its President, is arguably Louisiana’s single most powerful registered lobbyist.
....
Even though he has never been elected to public office, Mills talks like someone who believes he controls the legislature, someone who thinks he possesses the same type of veto authority as the Governor, and it’s not puffery: He does.
I feel as you do on this one - strongly! What bothers me most about these politicians is they do not represent the rest of us. Here in Michigan we had Republicans back in the late 70s who would listen and often follow their conscience NOT the party line.
ReplyDeleteIn the past, we had Republicans who actually listened to and represented the people here in Louisiana, but no more. They are too frightened of groups like the LFF, the Tea Party, and the NRA who will pour money into the campaigns of their opponents if they don't toe the line.

ReplyDeleteYou should see the mailings full of lies that we receive about Mary Landrieu, courtesy of the Koch brothers. They can take me off their list, because I voted already.
DeleteLike the left-wing socialists don't spew lies and are not given huge sums of money by the likes of George Soros. Also, I would be embarrassed to say that I voted for Edwards.
ReplyDeleteà chacun à son goût. I will vote for Edwards again in December. Surely, you do not expect me to give my vote to Jindal's sidekick, Garrett Graves.
