Today Governor Jindal and Wisconsin Governor Walker at their $25,000 a plate fundraiser for the Louisiana GOP at Calcasieu Ball Room  in the Warehouse District of New Orleans.

We demanded the following, especially that Jindal Save Southeast Louisiana Hospital and end his School Voucher System.

  • Louisiana opt in to federal Medicaid expansion.
  • Keep Southeast Hospital open.
  • Jindal and company restore recent funding cuts to higher education including UNO, SUNO, and Delgado budgets.
  • Jindal and company restore recent funding cuts to public education and public healthcare.
  • Jindal and company repeal the Louisiana Right to Work Law.
  • Walker keep hands off workers’ rights to organize

Jindal was seen emerging from a vehicle but quickly ducked into the building, at which point those in the ballroom upstairs  began photographing us. When we used the People's Mic to voice our concerns and demanded Jindal's recall, those inside the ballroom drew the curtains. They obviously heard us.

It rained throughout most of this event, but the rain did stop long enough for us to Chalkupy "Recall Jindal" on the sidewalk. Authorities photographed us but did not attempt to interrupt our protest.

  • Jindal and company restore recent funding cuts to public education and public healthcare.

Bring signs, chants, megaphones, chalk, friends, Family, and most importantly yourself.

Wherever the 1% is plotting the plunder of Louisiana’s 99%, you can bet Governor Bobby Jindal is nearby!  So it should come as no surprise that Jindal will be pimping himself out to the super-rich at Friday’s $25,000 a plate fundraiser for the Louisiana GOP at Calcasieu Ball Room  in the Warehouse District of New Orleans. Governor Jindal is the chief architect of the 1 percent’s historically unprecedented plunder of public hospitals, public healthcare, and public education in Louisiana. This plunder, unfortunately, is still underway.  Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin is a natural match for sharing the stage with Jindal.  He is the nation’s best known gubernatorial union buster. Join us to voice your demands.
