Considering that Louisiana's New Governor Jindal promises lots of reform...?

Question

and the Adoptee Rights Demonstration is going to be in New Orleans (I think?) this year...are the demonstrators expecting a greater voice or to be heard more clearly than usual?

Answer 1

I plan on being heard. I could use a little help. Please send me information, I would like to get it into the news.

Answer 2

Jindal has advocated against children's rights in the past.  In the area of providing medical care to underprivileged children, specifically.  Then his own son developed a severe health problem and he and his wife struggled through the quagmire of insurance, doctors, hospitals (some of the problems were his own doing).  So part of his campaign was to tell that he now understood what folks were going through and was going to change his position on medical benefits for children.  So, it seems to me he needs to be hit on the head with an issue prior to really supporting it.

Answer 3

WOW, interesting question because I was JUST reading on the NCSL website how the louisianna gov. was promising lots of reform and was wondering this same question myself.

I'm hoping for strong support from all state legislators and governors!

we have just launched a mailing list and plan to start an active writing campaign this week to build some type of communication between us and the leggies :) So hopefully with the next 6 months of communication and then meeting face to face in New Orleans we WILL be taken seriously and will be heard and our passion will be honored and laws reformed accordingly.

Answer 4

I know that I am going to nail those legislators with statistics, case law and others.  I hope this means a change for the better.

Answer 5

They have a website and I hear people are going to be there! I hope something good happens. I am adopted from LA!!! I should go...
