Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep. -
Weekly Legislative Digest
Louisiana Federation of Teachers Weekly Legislative Digest May 1, 2015 Steve Monaghan, President * Les Landon, Editor 2015 Regular Legislative Session Now available on the Web at http://la.aft.org Panel votes to silence public employees Despite the best arguments of teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public servants, the House Labor and Industrial Relations Committee approved a bill that will make it inconvenient for employees to join and maintain membership in the union or association of their choice. The purpose of HB 418 by Rep. Stuart Bishop (R-Lafayette) is to weaken unions like the Louisiana Federation of Teachers and Louisiana Association of Educators. These are the groups that have raised questions about, and led the opposition to, so-called “reforms” backed by big business that all too often result in the privatization of education and diminution of the teaching profession. HB 418 would revoke the right of public employees to pay their union or association dues through payroll deduction. Since local governments currently have the authority to grant payroll deduction, the bill is seen by school boards and others as legislative meddling in their prerogatives. The bill is the brainchild of the Louisiana Association of Business and Industry, which has been twisting the arms of lawmakers to force its passage. The big business lobby recruited the Koch brothers backed Americans for Prosperity to publicly promote the bill. It is an example of what columnist Stephanie Grace, in another context, called “an ugly yet ascendant strain in American politics, a willingness to use any means necessary, no matter what chaos ensues or who gets hurt.” The vitriol motivating the bill’s supporters was on full display when an amendment was proposed to exempt the teacher unions from its prohibitions. -

Jim Harris NOVEMBER 3 PRIMARY ELECTIONS…
Wednesday, November 4, 2020 FROM: Jim Harris NOVEMBER 3 PRIMARY ELECTIONS…While the seat of the U.S. presidency remains contested, Louisiana also saw an eventful election night. Elections for state and legislative officials occur in “off years,” but there were contests for congressmen, one U.S. senator, judges and several other positions last night. Overall voter turnout in the state neared 70 percent. U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, handily won reelection with 59 percent of the vote. Of his 14 opponents, the next highest was Democratic Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins, who took 19 percent. Each had the backing of their respective national parties. All sitting congressmen were easily reelected: 1st District U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-Metairie (72 percent); 2nd District U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans (64 percent); 3rd District U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins, R-Lafayette (68 percent); 4th District U.S. Rep. Mike 521 LAUREL STREET BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA 70801 1.800.545.3404 225.344.0381 FAX 225.336.0211 Johnson, R-Shreveport (60 percent); and 6th District U.S. Rep. Garret Graves, R-Baton Rouge (71 percent). All had multiple opponents. In the 5th Congressional District vacated by U.S. Rep. Ralph Abraham, R-Alto, who did not seek reelection after a failed attempt at the governor’s seat, there will be a runoff on December 5, as predicted. The candidates remain Luke Letlow, R-Start, who served as Abraham’s chief of staff and campaign advisor, and state Rep. Lance Harris, R-Alexandria, former head of the House Republican Delegation.
