Mitch McConnell wants corporate CEOs “out of politics,” the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) notwithstanding. But he wants to keep accepting campaign contributions from those same CEOs.
At LouisianaVoice, we’re not hypocritical: We actively solicit contributions from those who can afford it and we just as actively solicit their participation in the democratic process we call government in this country.
Unlike politicians, however, we don’t come around with our hands out on a constant basis. We hold our fundraisers twice a year – April and September.
It’s April.
Please help us pursue journalistic investigative reporting by contributing what you can – and no more. We’re striving to shine a bright light on the way in which your tax dollars are being spent. We’ve got a couple of pretty good stories we’re working on even as this is being written that will likely make the subjects a tad angry. But then our job is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. It takes time and it takes money, however, to do this.
I’m retired, so I have the time.
I’m retired, so the financial funds are another matter.
