A federal felony conviction keeps Edwards from running for state offices, but not from a congressional seat.

Makes perfect sense.

A federal felony conviction keeps Edwards from running for state offices, but not from a congressional seat.

Makes perfect sense.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
AND LEGALLY, he can’t vote for himself.
But a couple of cemeteries makes that a moot point.

Think a lot of OUR problem is we are taking on too many challenges. (Granted there are far too many cases of BS going on) We should concentrate on one thing at a time.

Whatever order you put them in, it has to be done as a group with enough people going after their so called ‘representatives’.

Approach them with say ‘term limits’ and barrage them with our dissatisfaction with the present system.

Going at these things with a ‘shotgun’ approach and not enough attention is brought to a lone issue.

About boycotting, wouldn’t it be great if 1000 ‘Irish’ bars or ANY bars would contact Guiness, Sam Adams, Heiniken and tell them to discontinue shipping as you will no longer be selling their product because they apparently don’t like or respect YOUR values.

Remember ‘Chic-fil-a’ and how ‘WE’ came together as a group and ‘pointed out’ the error of some peoples ways. AND WE got ‘good press’.

NOT wall street protest coverage but GOOD coverage.

10 years in the slammer? He was just making new contacts and learning new techniques. An excellent RAT resume enhancer.

Prison is like attending an Institution of Higher Learning for a CorruptocRat. Now he can return to the Congressional workforce and apply his new skills and knowledge for the detriment of the nation.

Edwin seeks to follow the example of Alcee Hastings. An opponent needs to swipe Edwards' old slogan from the gubernatorial race against David Duke and modify it:

"DON'T Vote For The Crook -
It's Important."

A perfect employment: one convicted felon (ex-Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards) wants to surround himself with undicted co-conspirators in the Congress.

A felony conviction means he cannot vote, right?
