The Poison Pill: Amendment #2

​It’s a well, well, well scenario in Louisiana……the bucket is in the well and the rope is broke situation in Louisiana with the upcoming Amendment TWO which has been so carefully crafted by the Republican Lawmakers who have a Super-majority in the Louisiana Legislature 2024/2025 style. The Governor went all in to make sure that every jot and tittle in the bill creating Amendment TWO met his specific approval.
How Poison is the Poison Pill Amendment TWO? Very toxic enough to send shivers through the Christian Community in Louisiana when they realized that the Legislature either unknowing or on purpose had taken by Legislative action non-profit entities protection out of the Constitution and left the fate of non-profit asset owning entities to the MERCEY of the greedy-gut Louisiana Legislature.  Where was the so-called staunch Republican conservative Governor when all this was coming down.
No, he was not missing in action or hiding out, he was making sure that every jot and tittle that went into Amendment TWO was to his liking. What was he thinking? WDC in 2028 as the number two man on a nationwide Republican ticket might be in his thinking. Whatever might be his thought process, his thinking has resulted in a very toxic Amendment TWO aimed at making churches and non-profit religious groups vulnerable to the whims of a tax and spend greedy gut duly elected public officials.
Certainly, people like Pastor Tony Spell, Attorney Jeff Wittenbrink, Newspaper Publisher and 28-year veteran of the Louisiana Legislature and member of the last Louisiana Constitutional Convention, Woody Jenkins, and Attorney Bill Moast have a good understanding of the repercussions of Amendment TWO. They, among many others, are vehemently opposed to the Poison Pill Amendment TWO. So should all churches, religious groups, and affiliated non-profit groups be very opposed to the Governor’s Amendment TWO and Christian themed newspapers such as INSPIRE LOUISIANA AMERICA.
Therefore, INSPIRE LOUISIANA AMERICA takes its stand in the forward line of Christian troops in extremely opposing the passage by Louisiana voters on Saturday, March 29, 2025 o amendment TWO.
