First of all, we haven’t forgotten to keep track of the number of days that Sen. John Kennedy has refused to hold a town hall meeting. It’s just that we’ve had a rather busy April thus far with no signs of a letup.
First of all, there’s the legislative session which kicks off on the 14th and already there is a cluster of bills that have been filed that we’re trying to keep up with.
Then there is the April fundraiser which we have not pushed that hard and which we will dwell on today.
News moves fast and it taxes my 81-year-old bones to move with it. But I’m trying my best and I will continue to try my best until I drop over and some preacher is lying about what an exemplary life I led.
But I need your help to do so. It costs money to chase down many of these stories. The clerks of court charge a buck a page for documents and some of those can run into the hundreds of pages. Other records cost, as does gasoline and those quarter-pounders I wolf down on the road.
Our April fundraiser runs through the end of the month and the largest individual contribution will win a first-edition copy of Huey Long’s autobiography, Every Man a King. All contributions of $50 or more will get a signed copy of my latest book, 101 Wrongful Convictions in Louisiana. A recent book-signing resulted in my having to order more copies, so there may be a wait of about a week for your book, but you’ll get it.
You may contribut by credit card by clicking on the YELLOW BUTTON to the right of this column and following the directions, or by mailing a check to: Tom Aswell, 107 North College West, Denham Springs, Louisiana 70726.
Whichever method you chose and whatever the amount you can contribute is deeply appreciated. Thank you for the past 13 years and, hopefully, for more to come.
