Jindal Trying to Suppress Black Vote?
http://southernleftist.blogspot.com/2007/10/governors-race.html

"So apparently Bobby Jindal is now running attack ads on black radio against John Georges and Walter Boasso criticizing them for donating to George Bush. I shit you not. Jindal is trying to link his opponents to Bush to depress black turnout."

1. The first few Repuke hate mailings I got were against Boasso
Then they shifted more to Georges, as he garnered more support and was an attendee at the Jena 6 rally.
So yes, this is also supporting evidence.

2. Nagin Endorsed Georges
A Nagin endorsement is usually the kiss of death except in the Jefferson race.

Didn't Jindal also donate to George Bush?

Georges has some printed pieces that were widely distributed in NOLA directed at the black voters. This is the first time in the race that Jindal even acknowledges that there are black voters.

3. Jindal is a "rubber stamp" Republic
who rubber-stamped every bush-backed Iraq vote, and spent 2 days in Iraq, and returned saying the progress was astounding, and the surge was completely successful.

Someone tell me about Georges. I really want Foster Campbell to win, as he has always been a friend to public education....BUT, I will vote for either Boasso or Georges if one of them have a chance in forcing a runoff. Who has the best chance of forcing a run-off? Were both of them former Republics? Is Campbell the only true Democrat?

4. Vote your choice (Campbell) and pray for a run-off!
If Jindal gets 50% + 1 vote he wins outright in the primary. If not there is a run-off. No matter who the other votes go to! So this is your opportunity to vote for any "No-J" candidate!

If there is a runoff you may then have to compromise.

A site I just found today, it has tons of info on J's votes (when he showed up), campaign contributions,
and history:

The amount of money I've read about going to Jindal is staggering.
In particular, the avoidance of limits by the use of LLCs appears to violate the law. $500,000 went to the Jindal campaign from a group of 100 LLCs controlled by 28 individuals or companies. "The use of multiple LLCs controlled by these individuals or companies has enabled them to contribute more to Jindal's campaign than the $5,000 limit on contributions set in the CFDA." For example, "Boysie Bollinger made contributions to the LCRM through 19 LLCs he controlled. If the kind of multiple maxing found in Jindal's reports is legal, then Bollinger could theoretically give a candidate for statewide office $95,000, or $5,000 for every LLC he controls."

That's why we need public financing of elections!



Remember:
No J!
No J!
No J!
