Today there was a rally in Lafayette Louisiana at the Cajundome. The very fact that a rally occurred speaks to the anger and frustration of Louisiana natives. Normally a lazy blue-collar state that has not protested to this extent in decades, today the people spoke. The final count according to their site put attendance at 11,000 in the Dome, 11,000 different viewers (IP Addresses) online, 3700 at one time on line in 40 different countries.
Is that clear enough for you Washington? If not there is also the petition that now has 171599 people and counting....BTW if you'd like to sign the petition you can find it here. Twice so far the moratorium has been struck down in a court of law. Once when first issued and again in appeals court. The response of our government? To put in place another moratorium under a different name. (Ummm...I think I heard something about the spirit of the law and letter of the law...guess who's not following the spirit of the law here?)
In response, the people of Louisiana rose up in an out cry of solidarity and contacted all major media outlets. The media's response? To post articles of Klingons (CNN) and stone age sex toys (FOX) on their main pages and ignore this historic moment. Sounds like freedom of the press only applies when it's not owned by big government.
The Rally also has a facebook page that can be viewed here. To view the rally, the full video is available here.
Please support the local economy and the will of the local people.
