I like you to read this.


Louisiana at it's best.

Don't all these politicians have anything better to do with their time than make all kinds of stupid laws that infringe on the rights of the people? This law is just another dollar in the pockets of the criminal justice system. Making crimianls out of law abiding citizens. Smoking is legal (freedom of choice). It's only going to give the cops another reason to stop women and try to seduce them. It's going to take their time away from tracking down the real crimials. Who is going to give the cops a ticket? They break the laws all the time. Or is it they lost their camp down the bayou and need more money for a pay raise to fix it?
How much more can you squeeze out of the people?
I'm sure the Governor will not read this email because she has never responded to a single one I have sent her. But this will be sent to every Congressman and Senator in Louisian and posted on as many web sites as I can.
If you are so concerned about our children, why aren't you fighting tooth and nail to get us the money we need to fix our levees so our children don't have to worry about having to move away because our land is washing away. You are more concerned with who's smoking where? This is not the time to be wasting time on such a freedom of choice issue.
Governor Blanco, you seem to only be worried about New Orleans. What about us in Terrebonne Parish? Do we not exist? We flooded just like New Orleans. We are struggling to fix our homes as best we can. Terrebonne Parish floods every time there is a storm to our west. Not once in 75-80 years like New Orleans.. Our lower part of the parish floods with a South wind. We have been fighting for years and years and getting no where.
If they have so much time to waist then why don't they come here and help fix our house. Instead of having volunteers from out of state coming to do it.

Is this a good one.


Can anyone tell me what is going to happen if the price of cigarettes keeps going up? I feel this is what will happen.
Besides getting people to quit because they cannot afford it, it will cause more people to start stealing them. Or stealing anything they can to sell to buy a pack.
Is this what the Federal, State, and Local governments are banking on? That way they will be able to put more people in jail and collect on the fines and fees. So they will have more "trustees' " to pick up trash on the side the roads?
Are maybe they don't want to say it free labor
is slave labor and by pasting them law that is what they are doing.
One more thing we have to obey the Laws but they don't.
You sure don't hear them talking about going up on the tax for alcohol and that kills more people than smoking!
I have been emailing Senators and Representatives for a long time now and none of them EVER answer my questions.
Maybe someone can shed some light on my concerns.
