Republican Senator David Vitter has been pushing hard to fight corruption and cronyism for his constituents in Louisiana:

U.S. Senator David Vitter Advances In Fight Against Corruption and Cronyism“Together we are working toward ushering in a new era in Louisiana – an era of open and honest government that leads to an environment for businesses to grow and create jobs,” said Vitter. “It’s an exciting, positive time to be in Louisiana. Effective action against corruption and cronyism is at an all time high. And public acceptance of corruption and cronyism is at an all time low.”
During his address, Vitter announced a toll-free number for residents statewide to conveniently and confidentially report detailed, credible tips to be called into his U.S. Senate Office. The hotline number is 1-866-345-0931. Vitter’s Web site also offers an interactive form where tips can be anonymously reported. After receiving these calls, Vitter’s office will then forward the information to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
Not only has Vitter been dedicated to fighting corruption and cronyism but he works hard on other issues as well:
He’s been particularly focused on lowering prescription drug prices, saving our coast, and preserving and improving Social Security for future generations.
I am pretty certain most Americans are familiar with his, and other Republicans, superb efforts concerning prescription drugs and improving Social Security but when it comes to seeking out corruption and cronyism that effects Louisiana I would like you to remember the fine efforts of FEMA’s Brownie and the general efforts of the Federal government overall as I direct you to Crooks & Liars recent post:
Vitter should be forced to resign immediately by the people of LA. If anyone should want an independent commission to sort out what happened it should be him because his people died. The fact that he failed to vote is just as powerful as voting against the measure.
Is there some particular reason that Vitter doesn’t really want to get to the bottom of corruption and cronyism that may have hindered relief efforts for the people of Louisiana?
Got Email?
Vitter does!
Tell him what you think, ok?
Or maybe you would prefer to call his tipline to report Brown and other unqualified Bush appointments that resulted in the disaster after Katrina?
