Letter: Jindal loses Republican supporter

* Published: Sep 23, 2009 - Page: 8B

I was 100 percent for Bobby Jindal for governor during the 2007 campaign. I volunteered during the campaign, putting up yard signs, attending meetings, working in the phone bank etc.

My front yard was used as the Jindal tent was put up for the annual Kenilworth July Fourth parade. I had a huge Jindal-for-governor yard sign that was seen by thousands of people over the six months it was up.

I even sent a letter to The Advocate that was published on Sept. 8, 2007, defending Jindal when the Democratic Party brought religion into the governor's race.

I was even responsible for having two signs put up at the entrances to Kenilworth subdivision which stated, "Boyhood home of Governor Bobby Jindal."

After doing all these things, I never received a thank-you letter from Jindal or anyone in his administration.

I had confidence in him that he would be the best governor that Louisiana ever had.

I have lost my faith in him as have tens of thousands of other individuals statewide who voted for him. He has made mistake after mistake after mistake. The latest one is what prompted me to write this letter.

The Advocate headline on Sept. 4 stated, "Jindal calls church visits appropriate." Well, I totally disagree. He can attend Protestant church services every Sunday, but he should pay the cost, not the citizens of Louisiana. He can have town-hall meetings, but they should be at town halls, not churches of worship.

What makes America strong and different from most other countries is the fact that we have separation of church and state. Giving talks at churches on Sundays using taxpayers' money is a violation of the doctrine. Mr. Jindal is politicizing houses of worship.

As a lifetime Republican, having served 16 years on the Republican State Central Committee and two years as treasurer of the Louisiana Republican Party, I am willing to lead a group entitled "Republicans against Jindal."

He has no idea how much support he has lost. Every candidate that he has endorsed for the state Legislature has been defeated, including the Senate race in his home district.

I’m looking forward to the 2011 governor’s race to support anyone but Jindal. Let's geaux and work and find us a new candidate to support.

imperial whitetail clover

we've long been interested in the whitetail institute and their imperial whitetail clover deer food plot seed. so, this year we ordered one of their test plot paks to see how well their seeds do here.

we're not planting this to harvest deer over. we just want to see if it will come up here and if it will attract any deer. if we were harvesting deer though, we would be practicing quality deer management.

we chose the institutes "double-up" sampler pak, because it contains seed paks of imperial whitetail clover, double-cross, chicory plus, winter greens, no-plow, alfa-rack plus, extreme and chic magnet as well as 10 lbs each of 30.06 a mineral lick and cutting edge a spring and summer nutritional lick.

math isnt our forte at all, but we figured that since you get two paks of each product (the website says one package of double-cross but they sent two) and each package contains enough seeds to plant 100 square feet - 10'x10' that by combining the two paks of a brand, you should be able to have enough to plant a 14'x14'.

we read that double-cross is imperial whitetail clover but with an annual brassica seed mixed in; so by combining the two imperial whitetail clover and the two double-cross paks we should have enough to plant a 20'x20 plot.

so we picked a spot out. we took a hand-saw and cut down that tallow tree growing in the center and then took a hammer and a nail and made some holes in the stems as well as sawed down into them then poured about a tablespoon of herbicide into them. we mowed it out a couple of times to make it a little bit better.

the planting dates for all the seeds that we received is from 15 september till 15 november with better results they say the earlier you plant.

so we checked the famers almanac to see the best days to plant right after the 15th september -- according to it, the 20th - 22nd september are the best days for planting forage crops as well as hay, flowers, peas, beans, tomatoes, peppers, and other aboveground crops.

so on labor day we sprayed the area out with herbicide. it took two gallons at 6 tablespoons herbicide per gallon of water. we chose labor day because this would give us the 10+ day cushion you are supposed to wait between applying herbicide and planting.

one day last week we went and raked the stubble and clippings then measured and staked out an area slightly smaller than 20'x20'.

the famers almanac didnt say which sign the moon was to be in on the 20th. we always prefer to plant when the moon is in cancer and wondered if it was.

it took awhile to find a website with the moon phase and moon sign locally. we finally found one with a "moon phase calculator."

after about three hours of dragging around and being drug around by the 'ol mantis we had enough. it took a tankful of gas.

next we took the garden rake and raked out all the roots and stubble that had come to the surface. then we took the lawn rake and smoothed it out best we could.

we broadcast around eight pounds (10 double handful's) of 8-24-24 and raked it into the soil. we noticed the label on the fertilizer bag said that its manufactured here in louisiana at deridder by o'neals feeder supply.

on sunday morning when we got up it was drizzling rain but it stopped in a few minutes as the sun rose.

last night after we broadcast the fertilizer we brought the spreader home and washed it and wiped it out. this is to help keep the fertilizer residue from melting the metallic parts. we mostly wanted the spreader to be clean so that nothing could foul the seed gate partially open whereby we could lose a bunch of seed.

so it was back to the food plot where the first thing we did was take an empty barrel and roll it over the soil to pack it down.

we took the scissors and cut the tops off the four paks and dumped them into a mixing bowl to blend them together.

this is how all the seed looked in the spreader.

then we rolled the barrel over the seed bed again.

on monday we'll put out the 30.06 mineral lick somewhere in the woods nearby.

congressman dan burton complains about acorn "something funny going on here"

congressman burton complains about acorn and the millions of taxpayer dollars that the congress has given them and that in light of the recent allegations of wrong doing and corruption lodged against acorn that "we need a thorough investigation of acorn and why they have been authorized to get up to eight and a half billion dollars in taxpayer money for the services that they perform."

but did you know that congressman burton (along with many others including former louisiana congressman bob livingston) has been named by fbi whistle blower sibel edmons as being an actor in an organized crime ring thats passing classified information to foreign governments? where is that investigation?

crop circles explained

EUREKA!

www.circlemakers.org

Although the circles have appeared worldwide in wheat, oats, spinach, grass, peas, rice, linseed, maize, oil-seed rape, sunflowers, mustard, barley, sugar-beet, rye, and a multitude of other crops, most cereal artists prefer to concentrate upon just three.

These are grown and harvested in a smooth, overlapping progression; oil-seed rape in April through May, barley throughout May and June, and wheat from June until early September.

[W]e will give you all the information you will need to work with these plants, and eventually, with a little practice, produce genuine, dowsable, scientifically proven un-hoaxable circles patterns.

The tools you will need are relatively unsophisticated...
