Green Party Mobilizes for Louisiana Congressional Election on December 6
November 22nd, 2008The Green Party is focused on Louisiana’s late U.S. House election, to be held in the 2nd district on Saturday, December 6. See this story at Green Party Watch. The Green candidate, Malik Rahim, is running against incumbent Democrat William Jefferson, Republican Joseph Cao, Libertarian Gregory Kahn, and independent Jerry Jacobs. Rahim is very well-known in New Orleans, and Congressman Jefferson is under an ethics cloud.

Let’s hope Mr. Rahim wins.

A win for Malik Rahim would be a great thing not only because Rahim is an admirable person. It would also strike a resounding blow against the idea that we have to tolerate massive corruption in our federal government just because the Democratic and Republican leadership does. I would urge everyone who values good government to visit http://votemalik.com/ and help Malik Rahim unseat Rep. Jefferson, who is possibly the most corrupt person in Congress after Ted Stevens.

Any polling numbers, or any indication of how well he is doing?

The alleged elections after 4 Nov 2008 in GA and LA blatantly violate 2 U.S.C. Secs. 1 and 7 — FIXED election dates for U.S.A. Senators and Reps. — pursuant to Art. I, Sec. 4.
See Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67 (1997) — ignored especially by the LA MORONS.
Who will hammer the GA and LA State MORONS involved — as in Bush v. Gore (FL legislative, executive and judicial govt MORONS smashed flat) ???

I have not found any polls, just the expectation that this is a safe democratic seat in spite of the corruption. It is worth noting that the independent is a republican activist, and that the incumbent is black, as is malik rahim.
Cynthia mckinney had her best showing in louisiana, which is the only state where she beat ralph nader.
