Someone who is not working with me

What happens when Congress does not work with you. You get these types of email.


Dear Friend,

As you know, I enjoy hosting town hall meetings. In fact, I've been hosting regular town hall meetings all over the state since I was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2004.

Last week, while Congress was home for its district work period, I hosted six town hall meetings in Webster, Natchitoches, Avoyelles, Jefferson Davis, Iberia and Lafourche Parishes. And although I visited different parishes in different regions of Louisiana, three issues dominated the discussions: spending, debt and rising gas prices.

If Washington stays on this reckless path, it will kill our economy. Every man, woman and child in this country right now has $45,000 worth of debt on the federal level. We need a spending straitjacket for Congress. That's why I'm coauthoring a bill to require Congress to present a balanced budget each year.

At the town hall meetings, I also discussed how I'm using every tool I have to fight this Obama de facto moratorium on domestic energy production in the Gulf – including my decision to block President Barack Obama's Interior Department nominee, Dan Ashe, until the administration issues at least 15 deepwater drilling permits.

With the unrest in the Middle East and the Obama administration's determination to halt all production of traditional energy, I fear we are very close to $4.00 a gallon gas in the near future. Louisianians are incredibly frustrated by this because we can prevent that by harnessing our own vast natural resources.

I'm working on bill that will do just that and will continue to fight the wrongheaded energy and spending policies in Washington.

Sincerely,



David Vitter
United States Senator

Black Lightning is more than ready for prime time

Black Lightning It is finally here.   I do mean finally for I have been waiting for seems to be ages (1977).   I am calling for a second season having only watched the first two episodes.   I am not sure of the level of involvement Tony Isabella & Trevor Von Eeden in the production of each episode.     The first two I enjoyed, did I say that already?   The first two episodes seems to have been packed with every issue seen in mainstream media and think pieces regarding the Black community.   This posting is not a think piece. It is my piss piece.   Before I touch on the piss, thanks, many thanks, to Salim and Mara Akil for making it happen. Black Lighting   opens with a Black parent, once again, having to bail a child out of jail for exercising his/her right of protest in the USA. We need to question why peaceful protests with no guns see protestors arrested. Please do not take I am saying people of color should have guns at protest marches.   We would be shot before the

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discovery .  Guys chill out ,  future  happens . 

OWS dead? Again?

I am so angry at this moment I cannot type straight. http://townhall.com/columnists/susanbrown/2011/11/30/we_are_not_the_99_percent/page/full/ I am sick of false stories planted in the media to kill a real people's movement (OWS). OWS is not dead nor is it dying. Please read the article. We must get more real stories into the media about Occupy. This woman has not been to Occupy she is only repeating a lie created in the MSM to kill Occupy. The people of Occupy are too busy attempting to make a change to think of orgy and the like. MSM is being irresponsible to all at Occupy as Occupiers. There are those at Occupy camps who are not Occupiers but people intent on killing the movement by any means necessary. Please spread the good of Occupy. We must be the media until the media reports truth.
