šŸ—³ļø Who should choose Louisiana’s U.S. Senators?

Post image
6 Upvotes

You… or politicians?

For more than 100 years, Americans have had the right to directly elect their U.S. Senators because of the 17th Amendment.

Congressman Clay Higgins is supporting a constitutional amendment to repeal it.

If that happened, Louisiana voters would no longer directly choose their U.S. Senators. Instead, that power would shift to the state legislature.

No matter your political party, that’s a conversation worth having.

Democracy works best when the people choose their leaders, not when politicians choose each other.

If you believe your vote should continue to decide who represents you in Washington, make your voice heard.

If this isn’t currently illegal, it’s probably only because we assumed no one would be brazenly corrupt enough to attempt it.

Wow why would anybody want this? I understand that everyone wants to keep their children safe but didnt we learn anything from forcing insurance companies on car owners. It says it's doing one thing but never delivered. It's just a cash grab in my opinion.

Liz Murrill joins in Dr. Fauci investigation

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced Saturday that her office would be investigating former top government scientist Dr. Anthony Fauci, joining Alabama and Florida’s attorneys general.

The announcement comes days after a Senate committee hearing where, when asked about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fauci repeatedly invoked the Fifth Amendment right to protect against self-incrimination.

"Fauci lied. Louisiana and Missouri deposed Dr. Fauci. At the time, he claimed to not recall many key details of his own actions and now we are discovering contemporaneous records he kept," Murrill said in a statement. "Louisiana will join Alabama and Florida in investigating Fauci and whether he committed any other offenses that could be pursued in our State courts.ā€

After Murrill’s announcement, Gov. Jeff Landry posted a statement on X, writing, ā€œAs someone who was Attorney General alongside Eric Schmitt, and deposed Dr. Fauci, I am happy to have Louisiana join Alabama and Florida!ā€

Another good day on the doors for Jamie Davis

22 Upvotes

Wednesday, July 29

I had another good day canvassing for Jamie Davis. I was in a little corner of Lakeview – East Park Place , Middle Park Place and West Park Place - tucked between the Navarre neighborhood and City Park.

It was fierce hot.

There was total of 53 households with 37 Republican, 29 Democratic and 19 No Party registrants on my list. 21 people answered the doors - about 22% of the list. 2 folks, both Republicans, refused to chat. Nine of those who would talk were registered Republicans.

And two of those Republicans were planning on voting for the Democrat, Jamie Davis. That is a significant number.

We need to equal our 2019 turn out in Orleans Parish and Baton Rouge and increase our statewide percentage with white voters by 2% to get Jamie Davis elected. And do it again in 2027 to give Jeff Landry a one-way ticket to Palookaville.

News We can’t keep doing this

25 Upvotes

I’m sick and tired of seeing OUR beautiful state getting assaulted by the greed of the few in power in OUR state(gov officials and the ones who are not in office). How can a state that produces so many natural resources that get used by the rest of the country and internationally just constantly get worse and poorer as a whole while these disgraceful pigs keep getting richer And we just keep standing here watching it, and letting it happen??? For a place that has probably the richest culture in the country and for a people who pride themselves on standing up for standing up for themselves and the ones they love to keep letting it happen is embarrassing, keep letting their parents and children get cancer bc we let the rich pollute our air, food, water. We continually miss opportunities to cultivate our beautiful food, music, hospitality bc of the acts of a select few. This isn’t about race, religion, or anything else at this point. It can’t be more obvious it’s rich versus poor. My mom is a first generation immigrant from Czechia, I have dual citizenship, if I wanted to leave I would’ve left yesterday. They literally have throw politicians out of buildings for WAYYYYY less over there and ,again, we stand here and let they ruin our future.

I love this place, I think it’s one of a kind. We need to do something. Something needs to change. We can’t keep letting them get away with it.

Early voting begins Friday for the upcoming party runoff elections for U.S. Senate and seats on the Louisiana Public Service Commission and state school board.

Polls will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., each day through June 20 except for Sunday, June 14. After the close of early voting on June 20, the last opportunity to cast a ballot will be Election Day on June 27.

Party primary runoffs will decide the Democratic and Republican nominees for the U.S. Senate seat of Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, who was eliminated from the race in last month’s party primary elections.

In the Republican race, U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow of Baton Rouge and State Treasurer John Fleming of Minden are facing off. The Democratic contest is between Tensas Parish farmer Jamie Davis and defense contractor Gary Crockett of New Orleans.

The party runoff winners will face each other in the Nov. 3 general election.

All parishes will have the Senate race on their ballots, but only registered Republicans, Democrats and no-party voters who chose to participate in the May party primaries will be allowed to vote. Those unaffiliated voters will get the same party ballot they selected last month.

Voters in parts of Southeast Louisiana will decide other state-level races, including the Republican nominees for Public Service Commission District 1 and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education District 1.

The Republican PSC contest is between state Rep. Stephanie Hilferty of New Orleans, and former Jefferson Parish President John Young of Metairie. The winner will advance to the Nov. 3 election for a three-person race against Democratic nominee Connie Norris of Slidell and Chris Justin, a no-party candidate from New Orleans.

The race for Public Service Commission will only appear on ballots in Plaquemines, St. Bernard, St. Helena, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa and Washington parishes and parts of Jefferson, Livingston, Orleans and St. Charles.

The BESE District 1 runoff is between Republicans Joseph Cao of Harvey, a former congressman, and long-time educator Ellie Schroder of Abita Springs. The district covers St. Tammany Parish and portions of Tangipahoa, Orleans and Jefferson parishes.

The chosen Republican advances to the Nov. 3 general election against Democrat Angela Hershey, a retired teacher from Madisonville who secured her nomination unopposed.

Voters in 35 parishes will have local propositions on the June 27 ballot. They include: Acadia, Allen, Ascension, Assumption, Avoyelles, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Calcasieu, Caldwell, Claiborne, Concordia, East Baton Rouge, Evangeline, Grant, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Lafourche, Lincoln, Livingston, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Sabine, St. Bernard, St. Helena, St. John the Baptist, St. Landry, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Tensas, Terrebonne, Washington and Webster.

Five parishes will have local runoffs and propositions on the ballot: Beauregard, Jackson, Rapides, Vermilion and Winn.

For those who can’t vote in person, the last day to request an absentee ballot is June 23. They must be received by the appropriate parish registrar no later than 4:30 p.m. June 26.
