DAVID VITTER TAKES ON FEMA ON BEHALF OF VICTIMS OF DISASTER

It’s a shame when a mistake made by the federal government almost a decade ago will haunt taxpayers who have done nothing fraudulent on their part.  It is refreshing to see at least one person in Washington stand up to the feds.  With the amount of waste that is created on a daily basis in Washington on other activities, the Obama administration needs to focus their attention elsewhere.  FEMA has become nothing more than another bureaucracy that has become a bullying arm of this administration.

“All these cases we’re talking about, are my definition, FEMA mistakes and FEMA screw-ups.  And then they’re trying to go after people, and again, in virtually every case.  This money is spent on legitimate purposes, so this means that people in a hole would have to borrow money in a desperate situation to try to come up with these dollars that FEMA is going after,” said Senator David Vitter.

REAL LEADERSHIP

Despite the feeble and leadership-deficient President that we have here in the United States, Israel has Netanyahu who is not afraid to stand up against Islamic terrorism and use the allies that stand with Israel in Congress. In this video, he outlined the reasons for coming to America and addressing Congress next month.

Real leadership. Something we definitely lack.

JEFF LANDRY FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL

Republicans have a critical election in Louisiana this year.

I am not talking about the Governor’s race – although that is important.  I am talking about our state’s next Attorney General.

Right now Louisiana has an Attorney General who spent nearly his entire lifetime as a Democrat and only became a Republican for the sole purpose of trying to hold onto his taxpayer-funded job.

He has been called out by news media across our state, including in an investigative report on WWL TV in New Orleans, for unethical practices like giving huge state contracts to his campaign contributors – paying them millions for work that could have been done by his office.

He attacked the oil and gas industry which employs thousands of our neighbors, and he continues to do so by supporting legacy lawsuits that cripple our vital energy lifeline.  

He told a national, liberal blog that Obamacare didn’t go far enough because there was not enough government control.

And our Attorney General, liberal Buddy Caldwell, endorsed Mary Landrieu for re-election last year.

Need I say more?

Simply put, we need a real Republican to serve as Attorney General of Louisiana.

Serving our nation in uniform, I received commendations for my eleven years of service in the Louisiana National Guard. I am an attorney who has worked across our state helping job creators grow Louisiana’s economy. Prior to law school at Loyola, I helped start and run a successful small business – employing people in our state.

I served as a Sheriff’s Deputy and as a Police Officer, in addition to being an attorney, so I understand law enforcement first hand.

Unlike almost everyone in my home Parish, I took a stand when I registered as a Republican at the age of 18.  I believed then, as I believe now, that our Party – the Republican Party – is the Party of freedom, families, conservative values, and economic opportunity.  I served as a Delegate to the Republican State Convention and served on the Platform Committee.  When I saw no one else stepping up, I re-established a Republican Parish Executive Committee. 

When I saw the destructive policies coming from Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi – I decided it was time to step up and serve my nation once again. 

I ran for Congress, won, and defended our values in the United States House of Representatives.

And although my old Congressional District did not survive redistricting when we lost a seat in our state, I proved that speaking out and fighting for what you believe could work in government.

I was named the 4th most conservative Member of the entire U.S. Congress. The national Washington Examiner newspaper called me “the only honest man in Washington” for standing up for our principles.

I fought the oil and gas moratorium that harmed Louisiana’s economy… and I sent the message which is still true today that DRILLING EQUALS JOBS. I truly opposed Obamacare.  And I proved I was a real fiscal conservative by saving hundreds of thousands of dollars from my office budget… and you know what I did… I returned it to the taxpayers.

I declined special Congressional healthcare and retirement benefits.  If you don’t get special benefits as a citizen, I don’t need them as an elected official.

Now I see a need, along with many other strong Republicans, for a new Attorney General here in Louisiana. 

I hope you will join me in this campaign.  I need your support, I need your help, I need your vote, and I need your prayers.

Please learn more about my campaign at www.LandryForLouisiana.com.

Thousands of Louisiana citizens have already signed up to help – contributing financially to our effort and speaking to their friends about the need for change.

We need a real Republican to serve as Attorney General.  I hope you will stand with me.

Sincerely,

Jeff Landry

SEN. RAND PAUL ENDORSE SEN. DAVID VITTER FOR GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA

Sen. David Vitter has picked up a significant endorsement today in his bid to become the next Governor of Louisiana.  Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has stated in an email sent out from Sen. Vitter’s office that he has endorsed Vitter in that race.  Wordage of the endorsement is as follows:

I am writing to you today to talk to you about my good friend and colleague, David Vitter. Ever since I joined David in the Senate, I have respected his dedication to fighting for the best interest of Louisianans. David and I immediately started working together on issues like balancing the budget, immigration and Auditing the Federal Reserve. We have worked together ever since to represent conservative values in the Senate.

I am honored to tell you that David has chosen to run for governor of the state of Louisiana in 2015. While I will miss his strong conservative voice in the Senate, I know that the people of Louisiana deserve a governor like David Vitter. He is the right choice for governor.

Throughout his time in the Senate, David Vitter has listened to the needs of the people of Louisiana and has been a strong advocate of Louisiana values. I know that he will continue to answer your needs as governor, and this is why I support him as a candidate for Governor of Louisiana.

As a stalwart supporter of limited government, states’ rights, and the taxpayer’s best interest, David Vitter will bring confidence, knowledge, and experience to the governor’s seat. He will advocate for the needs of the people of Louisiana, help the economy grow, and move the state into the future.

Thank you,  
 
Senator Rand Paul

OBAMA’S BUDGET BLOWS A HUGE HOLE IN LOUISIANA’S OWN BUDGET

As if the State of Louisiana did not have enough budgetary issues at hand, with Obama’s proposed budget, we as a state stand to lose millions of dollars in revenue from offshore oil rigs.

The Gulf of Mexico Energy Security Act, or GOMESA, requires the federal government to distribute to Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, 37.5 percent of the money it collects from offshore oil and gas rigs in the Gulf of Mexico. 

Our Senator, David Vitter, said in a statement released on Monday: 

“The President’s budget plan to funnel the Gulf states’ offshore energy revenue out of those states is incredibly insulting to Louisianians. In Louisiana, federal revenue from offshore energy activity goes directly to coastal restoration. Our coasts are the first line of defense to a hurricane or tropical storm; plus, they represent a critical part of our ecosystem. We’re losing large amounts of coastline every day, and funding our coastal restoration projects is incredibly important,” said Vitter.

The article from The Washington Post identifies the following information from the budget:

Funds will instead be directed to programs that offer broader natural resource, watershed, and conservation benefits for the entire Nation, help the Federal government fulfill its role of being a good neighbor to local communities, and support other national priorities.

Obama’s administration is yet again using money that has a specific intent and purpose in his grand scheme of “redistribution.”

REPORT: COMMON CORE ‘INAPPROPRIATE’ FOR KINDERGARTEN

As a father of a child in second grade, I can attest to this quote.  My daughter is frightened of math and the stresses that it puts on her and has also mentioned that she feels like she’s failing and that we, as her parents, are “not proud” of her.  Our focus should be on letting kids be kids and tailor a learning curriculum around the age appropriateness of the child rather than some standardized teaching tool.

“What kids are losing is as detrimental as the stress being put on them,” she said. “They’re not ready. When you ask even an adult to do something they’re struggling with they think they’re inadequate. Kids are going to assume it’s their fault.”

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY INVITES JEREMIAH WRIGHT TO LOUISIANA

After the absolute uproar over the prayer rally held last weekend that was sponsored by the American Family Radio and promoted by Gov. Bobby Jindal, will the radical left say anything about this?

During his 36 years as the Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois, Wright preached sermons filled with anti-white, anti-Jew and anti-American messages. He claimed that America’s "chickens" were coming home to roost after the 9/11 attacks. In a 2003 sermon, he thundered that the government "wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people."

JUST EXACTLY HOW OUT OF TOUCH IS BARACK OBAMA???

Obama should be concerned with the most sacred of places where life truly begins, which is in the womb, and should concern himself with the drilling of the abortion doctor.  This is exactly why our “President” is so out of touch.

This far northern region is known as “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins” to Alaska Native communities. The Refuge sustains the most diverse array of wildlife in the entire Arctic — home not only to the Porcupine caribou, but to polar bears, gray wolves, and muskoxen. Bird species from the Coastal Plain migrate to all 50 states of the country — meaning that no matter where you live, the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is part of your landscape.

VITTER INTRODUCES PRO-LIFE BILLS IN HONOR OF “MARCH FOR LIFE”

“The annual March for Life is always an inspiration, and I’m proud to stand in defense of life with my family, folks from across Louisiana, and thousands of others from across the country,” Vitter said. “Together, we’re turning the tide toward respecting, protecting, and dignifying innocent human life.”

VITTER TO CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION TO TACKLE BUDGET CONCERNS IF ELECTED GOVERNOR

“Governor Jindal should be doing this now. I’ll do it the minute I’m sworn in. We need to break out of this never-ending cycle of budget chaos and cuts to vital areas like higher ed,” Vitter said.

BUSINESS GROUP ENDORSES BLAKE MIGUEZ FOR HOUSE DISTRICT 49

December 9, 2014 by Object 9

Baton Rouge, La. – WESTPAC, a political action committee of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry (LABI), has announced its endorsement of recruited candidate Blake Miguez in the upcoming House District 49 special election to replace Rep. Simone Champagne (R-Erath).

“Residents of House District 49 are very fortunate to have Blake Miguez step up to fill the recently vacated House District 49 seat. Miguez’s business background and conservative principles will represent the district admirably,” WESTPAC Chairman Charles Trent said.

Miguez is a lifelong resident of Iberia Parish, a small business owner, world champion shooter, and Acadiana philanthropist with a passion for creating jobs, fighting to protect gun rights and investing in bettering our future generations.

A graduate of Catholic High, Miguez received a degree in Political Science from Louisiana State University and a law degree from Southern University Law Center. To further his education in the legislative process at an early age, he worked in the Louisiana State Senate and the Louisiana Attorney General’s office while attending his college studies.

According to his website, he has always taken an interest to Constitutional law; he is adamant on protecting our liberties and freedoms that were founded in the constitution.

“We believe Miguez has the ability to not just represent House District 49 well, but will be a leader for the business community,” Brian Landry, executive director of WESTPAC, said.

“As a business owner myself and member of LABI, I understand that creating the type of state where new businesses can relocate and existing ones can thrive is critical to creating good paying jobs for Louisiana families. I’m honored that WESTPAC supports my efforts to bring conservative solutions to Baton Rouge,” Miguez said.

A special election for House District 49 has already been set for Feb. 21, with a runoff if needed on March 28. Qualifying begins Jan. 7.

About WESTPAC 

WESTPAC is a political action committee for the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, the largest and most effective business advocacy group in the state. WESTPAC provides a unique opportunity for the business community to work together to elect and support a pro-business legislature and achieve significant reforms to move Louisiana forward.

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.
