Louisiana Voice

We’ve entered the final week of our Spring fundraiser and if you haven’t noticed, I have not posted very many solicitations for this one. That’s because of the guilt I feel for asking for your hard-earned money when we’re fighting higher costs of fuel, food, medicine, housing and transportation, to name but a few of the consumer goods and services that have skyrocketed out of control because of gross indifference in Washington.

It’s true. Those 535 members of Congress, the occupant of the Oval Office and the judiciary have no concept of the struggles Americans are facing, nor do they seem to really care. The would-be Jesus President is far more preoccupied with his $400 million ballroom, his proposed golden archway, begging for the Nobel Peace Prize while invading Venezeula and Iran and threatening Canada, Greenland and Cuba, planning a redneck UFC Freedom 250 fight, molding the military to his desired level of featy and grifting billions of dollars for him and his family. They’re all out of touch with reality while we try to balance the household budget.

That’s why I feel pangs of guilt in coming to you when I know there are disabled veterans, homeless people, mentally ill people in need of help. That’s also why I always try to plug the food pantry, or food bank. They do wonderful work and are deserving of all the help they can get.

But if you have anything left to spare and you like to see journalism speak truth to power and to not shrink from its responsibilities, we would greatly appreciate your support. We at LouisianaVoice strive to maintain a high level of credibility with interesting, factual information that others seem to try to avoid or to merely give superficial coverage to.

Those who contribute $50 or more will received a signed copy of my new book, The Dinosaur Club. It’s about six geriatric former news reporters who become angry over the sex trafficking of children and unite to go after the traffickers.
