VITTER TO BLOCK ATTORNEY GENERAL NOMINATION

In his recent email, Sen. David Vitter outlined his work in blocking the nomination of Loretta Lynch to Attorney General of the United States in response to the President’s decision to use executive action in regards to immigration.

President Obama’s executive amnesty is clearly illegal. It’s a horrible policy that will only make a desperate situation much worse. Plus, it encourages immigrants to come here illegally by rewarding folks who have already broken our immigration laws.

It’s also clearly beyond his authority under our Constitution. Presidents have the power to fill in details of legislation. That’s completely different from acting contrary to statutory law. But that’s exactly what President Obama is doing – he’s acting contrary to our immigration laws already on the books.

I’m doing everything I can to block his attempts to grant executive amnesty. As a U.S. Senator, one way I can do this is by opposing his nominee to be our Attorney General. President Obama’s nominee, Loretta Lynch, would directly help implement his illegal executive amnesty and give him legal cover to do so. I’m urging my Senate colleagues to oppose her nomination as well.

The Attorney General is the top law enforcement officer of the United States. But the Senate cannot in good conscience confirm a nominee that will serve only as a rubber stamp for the President’s lawless executive amnesty.

OBAMA QUOTES NONEXISTENT BIBLE VERSE IN IMMIGRATION SPEECH

Maybe he should stick to something he knows well, like aborting a fetus.

While there are plenty of Bible verses to mention while discussing immigration, President Obama on Tuesday quoted one which isn’t so great, mainly because it’s not real. “The good book says don’t throw stones at glass houses, or make sure we’re looking at the log in our eye before we are pointing out the mote in other folks eyes,” Obama said during a speech in Nashville. One problem, though: The Bible never mentions glass houses.

Gentle giant right????

During his September 16 grand jury testimony, Wilson, 28, recounted how he tussled with Brown when the teenager grabbed for his gun while lunging into the squad car. As they fought over the weapon, Wilson testified, the teenager taunted him, yelling, “You’re too much of a pussy to shoot me.”

BUDDY CALDWELL’S “ALL SHOOK UP” FOR MARY LANDRIEU

How can the people of the state of Louisiana trust an Attorney General who is obviously head over heels for Mary Landrieu?  Mary Landrieu, the same Senator that has supported the agenda of Barack Obama 97% of the time, is being serenaded by this Democrat in sheep’s clothing.  Can our fundamental rights, such as the 1st and 2nd Amendment, be entrusted to someone who, obviously, is tied at the hip with the clone of Obama and who is on the verge of being tossed out of the United States Senate and sent back home to her mansion in DC?

The video speaks for itself.

TIME TO BUILD THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE

Dear Friend, 

We’ve been working to pass the Keystone XL Pipeline for four years. It would obviously create good-paying jobs and increase our energy independence. It’s a no-brainer. 

But thanks to a President committed to undermining domestic energy production and major energy projects, it hasn’t been able to get approved. President Obama and Democrats in Congress just keep kicking the can down the road. 

But, we’re finally moving a step forward. The House of Representatives passed legislation written by Dr. Bill Cassidy to finally approve the Keystone Pipeline. 

There is no other single project that has the same positive jobs benefit, the same positive energy security benefit, and five clean environmental impact statements. It has broad-based support, reflecting the majority of Americans understanding that Washington needs to stop getting in the way of our economic recovery. 

It’s long past time to approve the Keystone XL pipeline. I’ve worked with colleagues in the Senate since 2011 to push this forward, and I’ll continue to fight until it’s complete. 

As always, I’m interested in hearing your thoughts on energy, the Keystone XL pipeline, and other issues important to you. Please contact me with your ideas at any of my state offices or in my Washington office. You can also reach me online at vitter.senate.gov

Sincerely,  

 

David Vitter  
United States Senator

HELP ON WAY FOR ACADIANA VETERANS

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 11, 2014
CONTACT: Leilani Hardee, 337-256-5832 or lhardee@landryforlouisiana.com 

Help on Way for Acadiana Veterans

NEW IBERIA, LA – NEW IBERIA, LA – Acadiana veterans will get transportation assistance to the Alexandria VA health clinic, thanks to a donation made by former U.S. Representative Jeff Landry and supporting local businesses.

Landry will present a check tonight to the Honor Guard of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 182 for the purchase of a new van to service the needs of our community’s veterans. The vehicle will transport the Honor Guard to official functions and help many of our 14,000 local veterans get to their healthcare appointments in Alexandria.

“Acadiana’s veterans put our country first, fought for our freedom, and protected our liberties. Unfortunately, they’ve had a difficult time receiving the respect and care they deserve,” said Landry. “I am proud to do what I can to help our community’s heroes get the services they need.”

“As a veteran, I have seen up close the sacrifices our men and women in the military make to serve our country. And I believe we must fulfill the commitments our nation has made to our veterans,” continued Landry. “That is why I went to work to help solve some of our Acadiana veterans’ problems.”

In addition to the van, Landry will also donate a bench dedicated to local veterans on Bouligny Plaza. Grateful members of our community are encouraged to attend the Veterans Day event, which will also feature a flyover 30 minutes before sunset by ace pilot Dick Spears in a World War II Navy Stearman Trainer, beginning at 6:00 PM at 150 West Main Street in New Iberia.

#

Donors who contributed to the van cause include Linier Controls, Jackie Judice, John Curry, Fremin’s Metal Buildings, M.A. Patout and Son, Barry Naquin, Iberia Aggregates, Juan Segura Farms, Sweet Interiors, Ricky Gonsonlin Farms, Miguez Oil, Cargill Salt Avery Island, Joey Zagar Bayou Welding, Casey Sorrell Electric, Nathan Granger QCP, Teche Home Builders, Laris Insurance, Delcambre Boat Parade, and Cajun Building Systems.

BOUSTANY DOES IT TO US AGAIN!!!

Pandering to the left yet again this year, Charles Boustany has sold out his “conservative” credentials and aligned himself with the likes of Mary Landrieu on the United Ballot in Lafayette.  The same ballot pushed for Boustany’s election in his 2012 run against Jeff Landry.

Just a few days ago, The Independent in Lafayette ran a piece in their paper outlining the activities behind United Ballot that are less than desirable.  Boustany aligning himself with such an organization, which reportedly costs nearly $30,000 to get on the ballot, shows exactly the character of the representative from Louisiana’s 3rd District.
