Louisiana Voice

Counting today, there are only four days remaining in LouisianaVoice’s October fundraiser.

I’m confident that you are happy that the month of shameless begging is almost over until next April* but the truth is, we still need your help in filling the void left by the cowardly Washington Post’s refusal to endorse any candidate in the all-important Nov. 5 election. (In case you didn’t recognize it, that was my feeble attempt at parody; we would never be so vain as to suggest we could ever step in for the Post, though its credo of “Democracy Dies in Darkness” has certainly taken a hit.)

Seriously, if you can see your way clear to do so, 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.

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.

Whether you feel you can help or not, please do NOT forget to vote!

*(It won’t be a true fundraiser, but I will be offering copies of my upcoming book, 101 Wrongful Convictions in Louisiana when it is published later this year or in early 2025.)
