Let's Look At the Votes on HB 212 - The Recall Bill
With a focus on the New Orleans delegation
HB 212 Passed in the Louisiana House Today!
First, we extend our thanks to the dedicated soul behind a Twitter account that we rely upon and trust for great and timely information: “Fix New Orleans” using the handle @FixNOLA. Though we communicate by messaging with this Master of the Internets, we do not know him. We give credit where it is due, however, and he (?) highlighted the votes from the New Orleans delegation on the list below.
Wherever you live in Louisiana, however, you can see how your representative voted:
“Nays” rhymes with “Democrat.”
Here are the more respectable people who voted today:
And this note from our friend:
Please keep the pressure on as the Recall Bill moves to the Senate. Your emails have an impact on how your elected officials vote… I know it’s easy to be jaded and presume it doesn’t affect them, but your input truly matters.
Please take a moment to email the SENATORS now that the bill has cleared the House:
Copy and paste this list:
hewitts@legis.la.gov, whitem@legis.la.gov, connickp@legis.la.gov, henryc@legis.la.gov, talbotk@legis.la.gov, sen11@legis.la.gov, mizellb@legis.la.gov, poper@legis.la.gov, foilf@legis.la.gov, wardr@legis.la.gov, lamberte@legis.la.gov, sen20@legis.la.gov, allainb@legis.la.gov, millsf@legis.la.gov, cortezp@legis.la.gov, abrahamm@legis.la.gov, sen26@legis.la.gov, johnsr@legis.la.gov, sen28@legis.la.gov, sen30@legis.la.gov, sen31@legis.la.gov, sen32@legis.la.gov, sen33@legis.la.gov, morrisjc@legis.la.gov, rmills@legis.la.gov, sen17@legis.la.gov
peacockb@legis.la.gov, sen38@legis.la.gov
The BODY of your email need only include:
“Every single Republican present on the House Floor voted YES on HB 212, to fix the Recall Law. Not one Republican voted against it! Let's keep that record going. Thank you for supporting the Recall Law.”
Close the email with only your name, and do not mention the city where you live, as some elected officials might ignore you if you’re not their direct constituent.
There may be no more significant bill this session! The ability for “We The People” to recall failing officials provides us the leverage that empowers all of us.
Thank you!
P.S.
I just emailed Representative Paul Hollis to thank him for introducing this bill. If you’d like to send him a note: hollisp@legis.la.gov
