What happens when good people don't Vote & do not take the time to pay attention -
More & more Ignorant Brain Washed Anti-American Socialists are elected to office in Louisiana and into our Legislature
These People Need to be Recalled by their constituents' - other Legislators need to call them out!!!
Excerpt: State Rep. Barbara Norton, D-Shreveport, objected to the legislation because African-Americans weren't "free" in 1776 when the document was written. She doesn't think children should have to recite it in school.

Rep. Barbara Norton’s assertions are false premises. Many blacks were free during this time and even before! Please read on!!! Everything concerning Marie Therese Coincoin Metoyer and her family are documented in Land Grants and Conveyance Records in Natchitoches Parish!
Marie Therese Coincoin Metoyer, a slave who owned a hundred or so slaves was born in 1742, lived in Natchitoches Parish and became a VERY SUCCUSSFUL AND WEALTHY BUSINESSWOMAN. Her parents were from Africa and they were once all slaves in the 1700’s. Marie Therese Coincoin Metoyer passed away at the age of 74 in 1816. Her story is testament of the greatness of her abilities, her freedom, and a most wonderful State of Louisiana that apparently didn’t slow her down or diminish her wealth. It is paramount that our citizenry know our History!
Marie Therese’s freedom came more than 70 years before the Emancipation Proclamation of the Civil War and 178 years before women of any color could vote!
I applaud Rep. Valerie Hodges and Rep. Mike Johnson who know the greatness within our people and our founding documents as well as the Great State of Louisiana.
Our leaders need to be JUBILANT over the greatness in our state and nation instead of continually whining over same.
