At the repeated suggestions of several readers, we have added a feature to LouisianaVoice which we hope will increase our readership. (At least that’s what we’ve been told.)
At the bottom of each story we now have links readers may go to share our stories with others via Facebook, Twitter, Tumbler, Linkedin, and others.
And I personally have never really gotten into social media, there is even a button readers may click on to “like” us—whatever the heck that is. My car, after all, still has an 8-track player and my cell phone has a rotary dial and I still watch movies on Beta tapes—though they and the 8-tracks are getting harder and harder to find.
After adding these links we scrolled through a few stories to see what kind of hits we were getting and found that our story on U.S. Rep. Steve Scalese’s speech to David Duke’s group has already been forwarded more than 3,000 times on Facebook.
And that’s a good thing…we think.
At any rate, please feel free to avail yourselves to the new LouisianaVoice feature.
As for us, well, we’ll just keep writing about good ol’ Louisiana politics.

Excellent! In the past I’ve copied the link to your story on my face book page. Now I can do directly. Good show!
Benghazi, does Bobby have one?
I have been sharing your columns in my face book groups since I started receiving them. Thanks for making the sharing easier!
Great move. You have the best journal going as far as tracking Louisiana corruption. Keep holding their feet to the fire!
Tom- There are a number of orgs that will no doubt benefit from your research and dedication to truth and justice.This is a sound way to engage the orgs and various individuals. Looking forward to the response.
I share your columns with my brother-in-law who lives in IL. We have an ongoing challenge as to who has the worst politics, IL or LA. Through your columns, I am usually able to win. Thanks for writing about “bad ol’ Louisiana politics.”
Finally. I noticed the improvement a couple of weeks ago. It is so much easier to share the articles now.
Thanks, Tom. I’m a LA native who now lives in GA, but will always be a LA girl at heart. Thanks for all you do. Have been reading your column about six months now & love it…glad to see you take this serious subject head on. Seems like you’re the only one really putting it all out there…excellent, REAL reporting that is seriously lacking everywhere else these days. Corruption in politics in LA has been going on way too long, but I must say Jindal really takes the cake (and we’ve had some biggies in the past)! Makes me sick to see what has been done to my home state duing his reign. Keep up the great work!
Now you just need to add links to the FBI tip page, the US Attorney and the EBR Parish DA who should be doing something about all these improprieties!!! 😉
Good one!
Tom
You definitely need to listen to “Analog Girl” by Guy Clark…female version of you….
Good move! Thank you!
