Louisiana Voice

I’ve been relatively quiet as of late insofar as soliciting contributions to support the efforts of LouisianaVoice to keep bringing you stories like the one below on the exploits of former Angola warden Burl Cain, but that doesn’t mean your support is not needed – or deeply appreciated.

There’s only one week left in our October fundraiser and your help is still needed.

I know there are so many worthy causes out there that need your support, too. There is hurricane relief. Those victims really need help just as we needed help during the devastating flood of 2016. The Baton Rouge Food Bank is constantly in need of support to help feed the impoverished citizens of the area. Animal shelters are always in need of and appreciative of your support for our friends who are unable to speak for themselves. Plus, Christmas is just around the corner as we gear up for another holiday season.

All things considered, I hate to come asking for your help but journalistic freedom is critical at this juncture of our country’s history. There are so many efforts to erect roadblocks to our path to finding the truth about what our government is up to that it really makes us question the motives of politicians who would hide the facts from us – and you.

So, if you can see your way clear, I humbly ask for your continued support. You may contribute by clicking on the yellow DONATE button to the right of this post and following directions to make a one-time contribution by credit card.

Remember, the person making the largest contribution will receive an original copy of Huey Long’s autobiography, Every Man A King, published in 1933 by the now defunct National Book Co. of New Orleans. It’s considered a collector’s item that any serious collector would love to add to his or her library. Also, everyone contributing $100 or more will be eligible for a drawing for an autographed (by Edwin Edwards) copy of Leo Honeycutt’s biography of the late governor. Finally, everyone contributing $50 or more will receive a signed copy of my newest book, The Mission.

As always, your continued support over the past 13 years of LouisianaVoice’s existence is sincerely appreciated.
