There are only two days left for me to badger you for your contributions and believe me, I’ll be as happy as you when it’s over. I hate soliciting. That’s why I could never succeed in sales or the ministry inasmuch as both occupations depend a great deal on b.s. Come to think of it, I don’t think I would last a day in telemarketing.
But hey, at least those don’t involve hauling and cleaning porta potties, right?
But back to my panhandling. Two days and the April fundraiser is finished and we still need your help. You may contribute by credit card by clicking on the YELLOW “‘DONATE” BUTTON to the right of this post and following the instructions or you may mail a check to me, Tom Aswell, 107 North College West, Denham Springs, LA 70726.
Any contribution, large or small helps us defray the costs of keeping tabs on elected officials – especially Jeff Landry and his Repugnantcan legislature. You can bet they’re looking for ways for taxpayers to finance private education, particularly public education run by churches.
I’m currently writing my 12th book and it’s about child sex trafficking and a helluva lot of it takes places in churches, as news accounts have informed us – not just the much-publicized Catholic church scandal, but quite a few Protestant churches as well. So, we will be spending considerable time watching for legislation that might favor the evangelical/Republican agenda.
We will also keep careful eye on the manner of site selection for industrial plants. That’s because many of them seem to be purposely located near minority neighborhoods where they spew toxins and there is little ability to fight back. And too, there are those bills that legislators slip in that aid their own – or their clients’ – vested interests.
That’s what we do and your contributions will help us keep doing it. Thank you for 14 wonderful years.
