We are in opposition to Senate Bill (SB1) in the splitting of New Orleans East and the historic lower Ninth Ward. This violates Section Five of the Voting Rights Act by doing harm to the compactness, contiguity and commonality of interest of our area. Please cast your vote and share with others to do the same. Use Facebook and Twitter also. Thank you. To view bill go to: www.legis.state.la.us Under Bill Search, 2011 Extraordinary Session, click dropdown box HB and click on SB, in next box type in number 1, press view followed by "Text-Current" you will find the SB1 bill and maps.
