The Old River Road: The burden of bad advice, part II

The Old River Road: The burden of bad advice, part II: "Bobby Jindal's inner circle needs to answer a very serious question -- where the hell are your brains? His staff declined an invitation to attend a Blue Star Mothers luncheon, despite a promise to the contrary last year from the Wunderkind himself."
In case you're unfamiliar with Blue Star Mothers -- it's a group comprised of mothers with children serving our country in the military. They provide support for each other and send care packages overseas among other things. As Greta Perry points out, many of them are also Soldier's Angels -- a group that adopts servicemen and women and sends them cards and care packages.
According to Janet Broussard, the state Blue Star Mothers president, a luncheon invitation was sent to the Governor's office in November of last year but she was told it was too early. So a follow-up invitation was sent in February. After no response, Broussard contacted the Governor's office last month and was told:
"Well, if you haven’t head anything yet, then he won’t be there" and that the Governor "receives thousands of request."

UPDATE: As Janet Broussard has informed us via a comment below, the
luncheon invitation Bobby's staff declined was in honor of parents whose sons or
daughters were killed while serving.

I'm sure these Blue Star Moms are wondering why their Governor can take time to jet set across the country picking up $5,000 checks, but can't spare a couple of hours to attend their luncheon. Once again, Jindal's staff has made their boss look bad -- really bad.
Call the Governor at (225) 342-7015 and tell him to make time for Louisiana moms with children serving our country honorably.
