I AGREE WITH SENATOR APPEL’S LETTER
State Senator Conrad Appel (District 9) sent this letter to United States Senator Mary Landrieu. Highlights are below:
Louisiana, and in particular the New Orleans region, has been blessed with incredible assets that should insure that we are one of the most prosperous regions of our Country. For many reasons we have experienced the opposite, years of economic and social decline resulting in wealth stagnation and population out-migration unmatched by other Southern states. In just the last few years our state has undertaken a new way of doing business and is concentrating on capitalizing upon its assets instead of just ignoring economic realities. The future has begun to look much brighter than it has in decades.
This is in no small part to the election and accomplishments of both Governor Jindal and the willingness of the people and legislature of Louisiana to strike out in a new direction. Ethics reform. Business-friendly tax and regulatory environment. Attracting and keeping jobs in the state.
Senator Appel urges Landrieu to act in the best interests of her state:
In the strongest terms I am pleading with you to assist the hard working people of Louisiana in turning back some of the Washington generated wave of regulation and taxation that threatens to swamp our economic life. Please help us defeat both the healthcare reform initiative as it is drafted and the Cap and Trade Bill. As our Senator there is nothing more important that you can do for the future of our state beyond helping us stop these misguided bills. I know that you will do the right thing.
Senator Landrieu has tried to stake out a centrist position in the Senate. I believe she will listen. I urge all my Louisiana readers to contact her office and let her know you agree with Senator’s Appel’s letter.
(I thank the Republican Party of Louisiana as the source for Senator Appel’s letter. You can get their materials by email. www.lagop.com)
I would add that Senator Appel is a strong supporter of Governor Jindal. His website has a great quote in support of the Governor.
