Flipflopper: On June 27th, 2008, Louisiana's Secretary of State confirmed that a recall petition had been filed against Governor Jindal. Ryan and Kourtney Fournier filed the petition in response to Jindal's refusal to veto a bill that would more than double the current state legislative pay. The petitioners have 180 days to collect the signatures of over 900,000 registered voters to force a recall election on the ballot. If accomplished, a simple majority would be needed to remove the Governor. During his campaign for Governor, Jindal had pledged to prevent legislative pay raises that would take effect during the current term. [19] [20] Jindal responded by saying that he is opposed to the pay increase but that he had pledged to let the legislature govern themselves. [21] On June 30th, 2008, Governor Jindal reversed his earlier position by vetoing the pay raise legislation, stating that he made a mistake by staying out of the pay raise issue. In response, the petitioners dropped their recall effort. [22]

Ann: "This could be your next VP if McCain picks him: youtube.com; koan: He made no sense. He wants the science of intelleigent design taught in school along side the science of evolution and wants all of science used. OK, lets look at that. Two things: 1) Which intelligent design do we teach? There are over 5,000 religions. Do we teach them all? 2) He says he wants all of science taught. Well, all of science has never found even one piece if incontrovertable evidence for the existence of any religion. So exactly what do they teach? They can replicate evolution in the lab. Evolution is not a theory it is a fact. It is proven every day in some lab aroundthe world. And evolution is taught as a fact in almost every major university in the world. Jindel is nuts in my opinion.
