[StBernard] Constitutional Principles at Risk in the Louisiana Legislature

[Westley Annis]

And this is why Walt Leger should not be elected to any office again.

Fellow Conservatives - 
 
On Monday, the Louisiana House of Representatives will be considering
legislation that seeks to alter the foundational principles of the United
States. HB 1095 by Democrat Walt Leger would force Louisiana to cast its
Electoral College votes for the winner of the national popular vote
regardless of who wins the state of Louisiana. Under this plan, Louisiana
would have given its electoral votes to Al Gore in 2000 and  Barack Obama in
2008 despite both being rejected by a large majority of Louisiana voters. 
 
This is a well-funded nationwide initiative led by ultra-left billionaires
such as George Soros to damage America's Federalist System. The Electoral
College is an important institution, which helps preserve the separation and
balance of powers between the States and Federal Government. We cannot allow
the liberals in the Louisiana legislature to cede our states rights and
undermine America's Founding Principles.  
 
We must stop this bill in the Louisiana House! The vote is expected to take
place on Monday afternoon.  Please take a few minutes to call and/or email
your Representatives and tell them to vote NO on HB 1095, the National
Popular Vote Compact.
