Rhonda,
Thanks for this authentic passionate message. I agree with what you said here and I do hope we are able to help Mychal complete his education. He needs as much help as possible to be restored as a confident citizen of America. We need him to be whole, healthy and a viable citizen it makes all of us better when anyone is lifted up.

Sigh.
It’s not as if the drama weren’t obvious. Mr. Bell should not be in jail. Jail is not a good training ground for this young man. Race, even submerged, is a part of this drama. These young men should not be in jail. Duh.

Today in much of Louisiana, the Democratic Party exists on paper more than in any tangible sense. There is staff and a building, but where the Party does exist, it is often an exclusive club.
We want to create
…a working network of Democratic activists who will view the Party itself as worth building.
… an association of Parish Executive Committees that will take responsibility for building Party operations within individual parishes.
… a movement within the Democratic State Central Committee that will initially pressure the Party leadership to focus on Party building, with the ultimate goal of becoming the Party leadership.
We want to bring the Louisiana Democratic Party to an agenda based on Social Justice, Healthcare for All, Economic Opportunity, a Commitment to Energy Transformation, and comprehensive Ethics Reform that includes campaign finance reform.
We invite Democrats who are committed to building an effective Democratic Party at the local and state level to join us in Lafayette on January 12, 2007 for "Rebuilding the Democratic Party"
hosted by Democrats for a New Louisiana
