----
today around 4:25 pm the louisiana house of representatives governmental affairs committee passed house bill 12 which enables "voter fraud" by allowing displaced citizens to register to vote by mail and vote by mail without proving who they are. there is no need to change the voting laws in our state as there are already adequate absentee voting laws in place. oh sure representative jefferson-bullock the bills sponsor and who we might add is the daughter of u s representative william "dollar bill" jefferson (himself being investigated for corruption) stressed that this is just a "one time only" allowance its still a precedent and an uneeded one at that.

we will just have to get out our bud nippers and contact our representative and senators and nip this in the bud when it hits the house and senate floor.

louisiana state representatives that support voter fraud are:

arnold - yes
bruneau - yes
lafonta - yes
pitre - yes
lancaster - yes
jefferson-bullock - yes

montgomery - no
smiley - no
