  6. Louisianians can restore their Republic ... but 'dey gotta vote

    There is an election going on this weekend in LA that few people know about and that is a shame. What turns the shame to an outrage is that this election has profound implications on how this state and maybe The Mobocracy we let pass for a union is governed.

He says it's the parties that are changing.
