Stop One-Time Money Spending on Recurring Expenses!

Representative Brett Geymann (R-Moss Bluff) has authored a number of budgetary control bills.  LaGrassroots supports responsible spending and encourages its members to support his efforts.  However, the legislation he's written is not being heard.

We did it last year.  We can do it again!


For now, we must communicate to our House of Representatives that we do not want them to spend one-time money on recurring expenses.  The habit of spending rainy day fund money on recurring expenses has been 'our way' long enough.  Our legislators must live within a budget! 

*One-time money may not always be available and is often set aside for other programs or projects. 
*By using this money, it makes us dependent on "extra cash" instead of living within our means.

Senator Vitter recently spoke out against this practice and called it poor fiscal policy.  Read the article here.

Last year, we helped Rep. Geymann with a rule to stop this spending and it passed.  WE CAN DO IT AGAIN!!!

Please contact your representative and tell him/her that they must pass the amendment to stop this and that you expect them to vote down any budget/spending bills that use one-time money on recurring expenses!!


More action needed on Sharia Finance

SB 388/SB757: Senator Daniel "Danny" Martiny has authored this bill which makes it unlawful for any person to fail to disclose that a mutual fund, when offered, sold, or purchased, in this state is subject to, bound by, or otherwise controlled by a foreign law, in which any part of that foreign law, relevant to the security or not, would violate an existing state or federal law if applied in this state.

This bill will protect American investors from Sharia finance laws and uphold our own American laws.

The bill number has been changed to SB757.  Please contact your senator and ask him/her to support SB757!  It could come up for final passage through the Senate Floor at any time.


Good news!
