A few days ago, the Baton Rouge Advocate presented two long articles about the two sides of a possible incorporation of a new municipality in East Baton Rouge Parish to be called St. George. We applaud the Advocate for it! The Conservative Party USA of which the Louisiana Conservative Party is an affiliated state party has always stressed the right of the voter to assert “self-determination” in presenting new ideas. After respectful debate, it is then at the ballot box that the “winner” is found. The fact that opposing sides exist does not mean there is a divided allegiance about the “public good.” We have to get away from the notion that one side possesses a superior answer to what is always the “public good.” No side or class is permitted to dominate in our country.
This evening, Florida Sen. Rubio will announce his candidacy for the position of the President of the United States, joining with already declared presidential candidates Sen. Cruz, Sen. Paul, and Hillary Clinton. In Louisiana, state-wide candidates are beginning to announce. The political “season” is heating up which is why I write.
The State of Louisiana has the most open election system in the country. Contrast that with the State of West Virginia which has not elected anyone but a major party candidate since 1906, or 109 years. In fairness, they are attempting to change that now. I hope you are as proud of our Louisiana system as I am. Louisiana voters can make a huge difference in Louisiana when it comes to voter “self-determination.” But the critics will say that’s why Louisiana can get a candidate the likes of David Duke. Yes, but that is freedom. When the freedom door is open, it’s open to all. That means you and the Louisiana Conservative Party can make a difference.
The Louisiana Conservative Party is looking to recruit a volunteer “Chief Political Officer.” You see, we believe in working “smart.” Our volunteers, and we are all unpaid volunteers, have strong conservative values, and express them often. However the “art” of politics requires talented experience. This would be a person that is experienced to walk the halls of our capital building. Loves to corner elected officials for commentary. And understands “spin” when it’s spoken.
Help us find that person. They, or if it’s you, should contact me at mail@cp-usa.org.
