Citizens for a New Louisiana says the goal ... is to protect kids from ... smut in the library.
John Guilbeau
The success we're seeing in Lafayette Parish would not be possible without vital organizations like Citizens for a New Louisiana.
Valarie Hodges
[Citizens for a New Louisiana] works very, very hard to let the public know what’s going on. Without them and what they do nobody knows anything except what the elite leftists media wants them to know. Thank GOD for their answering the call to be our voice to the state.
American Library Association
The whole area is being controlled by a political group called Citizens for a New Louisiana.
Acadiana Advocate
Citizens, whose executive director is ... Michael Lunsford, is a conservative "good government" operation that started in Lafayette and is expanding across the state. Its latest crusade is pushing for tighter controls on the books and other materials minors are allowed to access in public libraries.
Los Angeles Times
A defamation suit [Amanda Jones] filed against ... the conservative group Citizens for a New Louisiana, was dismissed.
National Public Radio
Citizens for a New Louisiana [is] the same group behind the conservative takeover of the Lafayette library board.

He sees you when you’re sleeping
We’re entering an era of non-stop video surveillance by our “big brother” government. Unfortunately, these “real-time crime centers” are not necessarily an effective use of taxpayer funds. These “easy” but expensive solutions aren’t even lowering crime rates. In fact, since their implementation in major cities, crime rates have steadily increased!
“Sex rights” mob objects to library parental consent proposal
There are still entrenched activists at the library who are after our kids. How do we know? Because they’ve been partnering with “sex rights” groups to stop parental involvement in book checkout policy. Fear not, though. Champions for our children are on the Library board, and they’re relentlessly pressing forward to protect our kids’ innocence. You’re welcome.
Injuring Public Record?
Back in November of 2021 Citizens for a New Louisiana sent a series of requests seeking information concerning changes that were made within the Lafayette Police Department pertaining to the release of public information. With rising crime rates across the nation,...
Not Media Enough, Censored by Schexnayder
Why does the Speaker get to decide who is media and who is not? I am well aware that Clay Schexnayder does not care for my coverage of him. Regardless, partisan politics should have no place in determining what or who is considered news media. If you’ve been worried about social media censorship, maybe you should instead be worried about the censorship going on right in the people’s House Chamber.
Lafayette’s DDA wants a 50% tax hike
The enabling legislation for Lafayette’s DDA sets forth goals and rewards for achieving them. The goal is to halt deterioration of downtown property values. The reward is getting an annual percentage of those property values as income. It’s ingenious, because their income will organically rise or fall in direct proportion to their success or failure.
Unfortunately, since director Anita Begnaud has taken over, DDA has failed so miserably that they now require a 50% tax increase just to maintain the same level of income. The Lafayette City Council continues to be arguably the most gullible government body in existence, as they’ve now been snookered into raising taxes to reward DDA’s catastrophic failure!
THE CHILL REMAINS
Should the Police Association be allowed to take a position on legislation that directly affects its members? Should they be able to brag on police accomplishments and even warn the public about criminals in the area?
Yesterday’s determination by the Lafayette Fire and Police Civil Service Board will have a chilling effect on exactly this kind of information. It will reduce the amount, quality, and diversity of information made available to the public. Check it out…
🚨 Louisiana’s Self Perpetuating Crime
Baton Rouge, Louisiana wrapped up 2021 with record breaking homicide numbers. While East Baton Rouge Parish suffers greatly with poor leadership, there are other factors to consider. Perhaps it is time for people to stop believing the government when they say “we’re here to help”.
Advocate reporter harasses black employee into resigning
It seems the Advocate just can’t leave success alone. Bayou Vermilion District has gone from extreme, almost million dollar deficits to a $173,960 budget surplus for 2022. However, instead of applauding this new board’s great accomplishments, one Advocate “reporter” has latched on to former employees’ “systemic racism” activism of nearly two years ago. To prove just how racist everyone must be, she’s now harassing black employees into quitting and asking the board’s only black man to resign?
Letters: Save the Artisans???
by Cody Leger Bayou Vermilion District has been no stranger to controversy in recent years. The latest controversy comes in the form of a campaign led by Jolie Johnson, who serves as a council member for the Louisiana Association of Museums. This campaign has been...
He won’t be returning these Christmas gifts from LCG
As the season of family gatherings, food, and giving winds down, receivers of gifts are assessing which to keep and which to return. For a fortunate few, it's time to pull out the adding machine to help tabulate just how well they did. One of those will be SUN CHDO, a...
