"Government belongs to those who show up"
This quote has been proven true time and time again in Louisiana. Despite polling showing 67% of Louisianians opposed to higher taxes, our legislators for 2 years have raised over $2 billion in taxes on this state. Why? That 67% does not show up- we're busy working while liberal special interest groups bus people in to beg for moretaxpayer dollars before committees. It is time that we show up again and again​ and stand up against higher taxes!!
If you can attend and show your opposition to the gas tax increase, please reply to this e-mail.We need 100 people to help pack the committee room-

URGENT ACTION ALERT # 2 for all TPoL members...... TELL GOV. JINDAL TO VETO HB 953 (re Common Core)
HB 953 (Leger) has passed the legislature and is now with the Gov to be signed . We cannot allow this bill to become law.
Link to the bill (HB 953): https://www.legis.la....
URGENT ACTION NEEDED by all TPoL members:
THE GOV. HAS THIS Common Core BILL ON HIS DESK!!
PLEASE CONTACT GOV JINDAL AND ASK THAT HE VETO HB 953 AND RESTORE LOUISIANA CONTROL OVER OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION.
GOV JINDAL's Phone: 225-342-7015 or 866-366-1121 (Toll Free)
Fax: 225-342-7099 and/or call
CONSTITUENT SERVICES : ( 225 ) 342 - 0991
EMAIL (click on the following link & complete email form and copy and paste – VETO HB 953 and all Common Core related implementation bills in Louisiana and/or any or all of talking points below):
MAILING ADDRESS : Office of the Governor, PO Box 94004, Baton Rouge, LA 70804
TALKING POINTS ON HB 953
VETO HB 953 because:
1. This bill removes parents from the LA educational process of determining standards.
2. HB 953 destroys our state sovereignty over education by requiring "nationally recognized standards" and assessments that are defined by other states and tied to the "rigor" of the NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) Test that is fully controlled by the FEDERAL Department of Education.
3. HB 953 requires that beginning in the 2016-2017 school year, the assessment "results" (from tests over which we have little control) will be used to evaluate our Louisiana students, teachers, and schools. Outcome based high stakes testing "results" which we do not control must not be the foundation of our state's educational system.
4. For our children, we need to: STOP COMMON CORE AND PARCC TESTING IN LOUISIANA.
Call to Action: Louisiana Rally Against Common Core, Sat June 14 (9am - 12) at La State Capitol Steps http://t.co/e01GafBNFr

Louisiana Democrats are pushing
a 500 Million Dollar
Obama style tax increase plan
in the Louisiana legislature.
Some misguided Republican legislators
have also signed on
to this tax increase compromise.
The vote may be as early as Monday.
Please call your representative and senator today
and tell them that any tax increase
is unacceptable.
Remind them that we will vote
the Government Gone Wild Democrats
and RINOs out of office in the next election.
