In a state where our justice is so lopsided, many critics refer to it as "Louisiana-style" just like our red beans or jambalaya. The Louisiana NAACP, Concerned Citizens Coalitions and many other individuals marched to the state capitol to demand justice for all. One of our main concerns was that Governor Bobby Jindal needs to accept all of Louisiana's portion of the stimulus money offered by President Barack Obama. I think our state's share was over $98 million. Maybe it's just me, but when I look and see the condition of the hoods of New Orleans or the elderly of my community not being able to afford all of their medication, I can't fathom why Jindal would want to turn any money away...
