Hello,
I hope my email does not intrude on your privacy or offend you.
Today is election day in my home state of Louisiana. I am Louisiana, born and bred.
I am
officially of Cajun/Catholic heritage. I consider myself Acadian/Spanish as that is
the true
origins of my ancesters.
I have supported Bobby Jindal since he first announced his candadicy for governor,
not because
of his religion, of which I knew nothing until I read your postings. I support him
because he
is brilliant, young and ambitions.
I have the priviledge to be a public school educator in Louisiana for 28 years.
Politics in
Louisiana is at best a mixed bag of tricks. I see Bobby Jendal as a refreshing
change to that
policy.
I know the feeling of being ostracized by the fundamentalist Christian community,
which is
against Catholics. Believe me, I have heard that the only way to salvation is
through Christ
and have been reprimanded when I say that my God would never send victims of the
Holocast to
hell simply because they were Jewish. My daughter has converted to a
non-denominational church
and has changed some of her views. She is an adult and is free to do so. But she
also
recognizes that Bobby Jindal is a refreshing change to the status quo.
Please do not think that all Christians are fundamentalists; we are not. I do not
support Bobby
Jindal because he is an Indian/American, I support him because he is highly
intelligent,
energetic, and a refreshing change to the old-time politicians. I hope my candidate
will be
successful because Louisiana needs a fresh approach to its leadership and I think
Bobby Jindal
offer us the best opportunity for a good future.
Again, I hope I have not intruded on you or offended you. I read your postings to
get a new
perspective on Bobby Jindal. My vote has been cast previously to reading you
postings. My mind
has not changed. I hope I cast a little insight for you as to what Bobby Jindal
could mean to
my home state.
By the way, my ancestors and I have not forgiven the French for selling the
Louisiana Territory
to the Americans 200 years ago. We are still waiting for an apology. My Spanish
ancestors, who
were officials in the Spanish government in Louisiana were transferred to other
Spanish
territories. Traditions die hard here also.
American by birth, Louisianian by the grace of God. There is one destination, but
many paths.
We are free to choose the path of our own.
Sincerely,
Jane S. Hebert
