 78. | | Arjun Pisharodi  March 3, 2009 at 2:57 pm | Mr. Jindal, these are seious times, not a time for you to play politicl games for your own image and career advancement. Be a man. |
| 79. | | Leila Forsythe March 3, 2009 at 3:03 pm | I commend Kelsey on such an insightful and well-written proposal. Such an expression of free speech and assembly (albeit virtual) is a true exercise of our democratic values. I hope for the sake of Louisiana's residents that Gov. Jindal will reconsider his position. Best Wishes. |
| 80. | | Candace Laughinghouse March 3, 2009 at 3:12 pm | Agreed! |
| 81. | | Kerry Kennedy March 3, 2009 at 3:14 pm | |
| 82. | | carl schindler March 3, 2009 at 3:15 pm | i had hoped for better. color me sorely disappointed. |
| 83. | | Vitalisa Mikolajczak March 3, 2009 at 3:18 pm | Agreed! |
| 84. | | Jill Usrey March 3, 2009 at 3:18 pm | Governor Jindal, please re-think your stance on these issues. Thank You. |
| 85. | | Georgette Fisher March 3, 2009 at 3:19 pm | Well put! I am not a LA resident,but Jindal's refusal of the money is concerning to me. |
| 86. | | claire fauci March 3, 2009 at 3:19 pm | JINDAL IS A DISGRACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Par for the course concerning the Republican Party |
| 87. | | Ben Jay March 3, 2009 at 3:23 pm | I am not a Louisiana resident, but as a US citizen, I find Governor Jindal almost as scary a prospect as George W. Bush. His ideas are misguided, and his ability to communicate is terrible. It felt like he was talking to 5 year-olds during the GOP response to the State of the Union. This man should not be allowed in the White House in 4, 8 or more years. |
| 88. | | Rhonda Silver March 3, 2009 at 3:32 pm | Think of the people instead of your own political aspirations. These are serious times and the people of your state come FIRST. |
| 89. | | Michelle Marchese March 3, 2009 at 3:34 pm | How irresponsible for a governor not to do everything he can to help his constituents in such a dire economic situation! Jindal is yet another Republican out of step with common Americans. |
| 90. | | Frank H. Jump March 3, 2009 at 3:35 pm | Refusing aid- especially a state as hard hit as Louisiana - is just foolish. Jindal is playing politics at the expense of the people of Louisiana. Jindal should be impeached!

| 91. | | Sarah Goodwin March 3, 2009 at 3:35 pm | agreed! |
| 92. | | Griffin Sager-Gellerman March 3, 2009 at 3:43 pm | |
| 93. | | Lynn Savage March 3, 2009 at 3:47 pm | totally irresponsible |
| 94. | | Ali McLaughlin March 3, 2009 at 3:55 pm | I was right in not voting for you. Completely irresponsible. Rejecting the money just because you want to gain points with your fellow republicans. |
| 95. | | Keith J Murphy March 3, 2009 at 3:57 pm | Jindal help the people in your state. With out that unemployment many common people will be with out food, water, electricity, if this doesn't mean anything to you, you should grad a box leave your big fancy house and live under a bridge for a few months. then tell me the people of your state don't need it. |
| 96. | | Victoria Koegel March 3, 2009 at 4:11 pm | You spent the money given to you for Katrina relief to build casino's and so many of your citizens still don't have homes. You need to think more about the people of your state, and less about your selfish party. |
| 97. | | Alexander Michael Hillmer-McGee March 3, 2009 at 4:13 pm | Dear Gov. Jindal,
As a concerned citizen of the United States I was deeply disturbed by your embarrassing excuse for a response to President Barack Obama. I was told you were to be an intelligent man, especially since you are a Rhodes Scholar. Clearly, this assumption by others is deeply misguided since you believe that the United States can solve all their problems with tax cuts and little government intervention. In this sense, you are no more intelligent than the former president. |
| 98. | | cassandra zimmerman March 3, 2009 at 4:18 pm | i am very happy i didn't vote for you, but now i'm screwed. i'm a college grad and unemployed and have a 2 month old to feed. what are you going to do for me if you take away my unemployment extension? |
| 99. | | reavis eitel March 3, 2009 at 4:25 pm | I found Jindal creepy, awkward and hard to trust. |
| 100. | | Honora Price-Laszlo March 3, 2009 at 4:25 pm | I understand from other sources that Gov. Jindal is an intelligent man. One would never know that from the "response" he gave to President Obama's address. I suggest he fire his "handlers" and speechwriters and be himself, if he's able to at this point. The GOP machine is a very difficult thing to overcome. |
| 101. | | Aglaia Venters March 3, 2009 at 4:29 pm | Bobby Jindal makes me sick. He is nothing more than a narcissistic megalomaniac. |
| 102. | | Charmaine Venters March 3, 2009 at 4:34 pm | You need to help this state by accepting the stimulus money, especially since this state is still recovering from several hurricanes. The federal government may not be so willing to help in the future if you don't. It would help to prevent closing Earl K Long Hospital, which provides so much good service to the poor. |
| 103. | | Meagan McKinstry March 3, 2009 at 4:49 pm | I agree with Keynesian economics and I believe stimulus money is neccessary to end the recession. I'm concerned that Jindal rejects this idea. |
| 104. | | Dennis London March 3, 2009 at 4:53 pm |
|
| 105. | | Joel T. Terranova March 3, 2009 at 5:08 pm | Governor,
You are headed down the same path as George W. Bush if you continue on as you are. And no, that is not a good thing. |
| 106. | | Jeff Carter March 3, 2009 at 5:13 pm | Why was Larry King not allowed to ask him about his little fantasy story about Katrina??? |
| 107. | | Nilotpal Saha March 3, 2009 at 5:18 pm | bobby jindal is almost the same as George W. bush maybe even worse |
| 108. | | stephanie cross March 3, 2009 at 5:32 pm | I did not hear one positive thing come from your mouth about obama you should not have been allowed to speak at all. |
| 109. | | Luci Winsberg March 3, 2009 at 5:47 pm | I agree with this petition |
| 110. | | Lynn Ratoff March 3, 2009 at 5:54 pm | Jindal spoke down to the viewers in a very derrogatory way and which was offensive. These misdirected GOPs need to have a Reality Check. President Obama has a huge mess to try and fix from George Bush. Where were they to complain for the last 8 years? |
| 111. | | Randall L Emert Sr March 3, 2009 at 5:57 pm | I agree with this petition! |
| 112. | | olivia lo March 3, 2009 at 6:07 pm | I thought this was very well written and intellegent. I don't know why FB would deny it |
| 113. | | Chelsey Wells March 3, 2009 at 6:28 pm | . |
| 114. | | Alejandro Armando Otero Caicedo March 3, 2009 at 6:33 pm | Your absolutely right. It's seems republicans are getting more idiotic after every election. Expecially this Bobby Jindal. Without the government we wouldn't been were we are today. We still have our own goals we need to succed and getting out of this recession shouldn't be one of them, but it is, due to our previous president and the republican party who restrics any process and brings policies that will destroy our American dream. |
| 115. | | Olivia H.W March 3, 2009 at 7:33 pm | I hope this gets lots of signatures! |
| 116. | | Brian K Philson March 3, 2009 at 8:02 pm | I am very disappointed that I am a resident of the state of Louisiana where you are the governor. Several people actually support you and i have yet to see why, you are a typical politician. YOu have spent more time outside of the state campaigning then you have in the state you claim that you love, get it together Mr. Jindal you have disappointed us all. |
| 117. | | Darshan Sawant March 3, 2009 at 8:19 pm | I support this petition |
| 118. | | Tre'Vaughn Mizrahi St. James March 3, 2009 at 8:25 pm | Thanks for showing your true colors. You are a true politician...businesses first and people last...remember...it takes spending from the people for a business to survive...DUH!!! |
| 119. | | Debra Spurlock Theiss March 3, 2009 at 8:25 pm | Bravo Kelsey. I'm going to try and direct MSNBC's attention to this petition right now. |
| 120. | | Kevin Hampton March 3, 2009 at 8:28 pm | No mention of his support of creationism in LA schools or his self-described exorcism experience have yet made it into these comments. Oh well, we can all despise the guy for different reasons. |
| 121. | | Emma Mattesky March 3, 2009 at 8:44 pm | Nice job Kelsey! |
| 122. | | John Kriese March 3, 2009 at 8:49 pm | I support this initiative. As a resident of New Orleans, I cannot believe he'd turn away funds from Louisiana when we need it so terribly. |
| 123. | | Brian K. Overall  March 3, 2009 at 9:28 pm | I am not a New Orleans Resident, but whatever I can do to stand up against this wannabe, I will. |
| 124. | | Nat Sir March 3, 2009 at 9:43 pm | Agreed. |
| 125. | | Emily Good March 3, 2009 at 9:50 pm | Totally agree! |
| 126. | | Rebecca Pearson March 3, 2009 at 10:00 pm | Jindal is a disgrace, and frankly the Republican party should be ashamed.
Did he seriously think a completely fabricated story would go over with the American public?? |
| 127. | | Bryce Kardon March 3, 2009 at 10:38 pm | Well spoken, Kelsey. I strongly back this letter. |
| 128. | | Sanjey Navaratnam March 3, 2009 at 11:06 pm | Nothing positive and the same old rhetoric. Furthermore. denying your state people money that could help them especially given your state is one of the worst off is despicable. All for your political greed. |
| 129. | | Fallon Collins March 4, 2009 at 1:46 am | I feel that Governor Jindal is forgetting that he is the governor of one of the poorest states in our union.By rejecting the stimulus money he is only slapping his own state in the face and furthering his selfish motives to become President! |
| 130. | | Corbin Tanenbaum March 4, 2009 at 7:18 am | Well said Kelsey! I agree. |
| 131. | | Hope Murphy March 4, 2009 at 7:38 am | This man is a disgrace to what America stands for, especially helping each other in trying times....His people have not caught a break in recent history...this is the chance with the Stimulus, and this selfish Bush Clone is denying his hard pressed citizens the help they need. SHAME ON YOU JINDAL AND SHAME ON FACEBOOK FOR NOT ALLOWING THIS TO BE PUBLISHED..TSK TSK |
| 132. | | Margaret Davis March 4, 2009 at 9:09 am | I support this petition as well. |
| 133. | | Olivia J. March 4, 2009 at 9:32 am | go kelsey! :) |
| 134. | | Alison C. March 4, 2009 at 9:45 am | I completely support. |
| 135. | | Tandu Alfredo March 4, 2009 at 9:57 am | I am all for this petition |
| 136. | | Winter C. Randall March 4, 2009 at 11:05 am | Rather than playing politics and catering to an out-of-touch, selfish conservative base, maybe you, Mr. Jindal, should do the job you were elected to do, and put the well-being of our state ahead of your own personal ambitions. |
| 137. | | Beth Redstone March 4, 2009 at 12:06 pm | All of these so called patriots are only supporting our government if it's their party. They are not patriots and seem to be rather un-American. I support the petition |
| 138. | | Keegan K. March 4, 2009 at 3:47 pm | Very true. Who is he to deny money for the less fortunate in times of great need? Also, Kevin Hampton has a good point. First amendment rights anyone??? |
| 139. | | Jaime T. March 4, 2009 at 4:45 pm | Very well said, I agree! |
| 140. | | Kayla Rodney March 4, 2009 at 6:37 pm | my mother works for the LA government, and i see them laying people off left and right, cutting budgets, and lowering salary. we could use that money. |
| 141. | | Anthony W Strohm II March 4, 2009 at 7:06 pm | He is part of the reason why I left LA and returned home. |
| 142. | | Robert Caylen March 4, 2009 at 8:17 pm | His proposed idea to reject of any part of the Stimulus Money is very irresponsible. |
| 143. | | Patricia Friedmann March 4, 2009 at 8:55 pm | Posturing for self-aggrandizement is shameful. Especially when he is governor of the neediest state in the union. Thank goodness Obama is going to be too successful by 2012 for Jindal to do anything but sit in Baton Rouge and look like a fool. |
| 144. | | Carlene Bohler March 4, 2009 at 9:44 pm | This man is a disgrace to the state of Louisiana. |
| 145. | | David Myer March 4, 2009 at 11:12 pm | In the current R Party turmoil, if Jindal represents the "winning" side, then we can expect the same old same old from them. Rich get richer. Poor get poorer. |
| 146. | | Adam F Cornford March 4, 2009 at 11:25 pm | Governor Jindal has shown his contempt for the poor and working-class people of his state by his rejection of Federal unemployment extension funds; for the Constitution by fostering the teaching of creationism (disguised as "intelligent design") in public schools; and for the truth, with his mendacious posturing about open government when he exempts his own office from such openness. And on top of that, he is an arrogant, condescending creep! |
| 147. | | Kelsey Reider March 5, 2009 at 8:50 am | |
| 148. | | Eris Johnson-Smith March 5, 2009 at 10:08 am | It is beyond me how too many can not see the transparency of the republicans egotism and centrist view of themselves and the rest of the country. While they are in the back room tracing their tired and dehumanizing techniques to reconquer this country, real people are suffering. Like the behavior of the bailed-out-bank C.E.O's,its disgusting! |
| 149. | | Katherine Renken March 5, 2009 at 9:25 pm | Jindal's recent behavior is irresponsible and dysfunctional. |
| 150. | | Samuel Hanson March 5, 2009 at 11:43 pm | Jindal is not the visionary leader that many predict can lead our nation... What a terrible display and attempt to bring our country in the WRONG direction. |
| 151. | | Angela Sandifer March 6, 2009 at 7:11 pm | REPEAL SB 733 NOW!!! |
| 152. | | Billy Jones March 7, 2009 at 11:23 am | I personally think he's really funny on "30 Rock." |
| 153. | | Chris Penny March 8, 2009 at 5:07 pm | |
| 154. | | Robin DeLamatre March 8, 2009 at 5:20 pm | Everything heard suggests that things will get worse for awhile. I can't imagine this money won't be needed. |
| 155. | | Gilda Werner Reed, Ph.D. March 10, 2009 at 10:30 pm | Jindal,
You are grandstanding at the expense of our unemployed. |
| 156. | | Jacob Thibodaux March 13, 2009 at 3:33 pm | Thank you for slashing higher education Jindal. Two more years of TOPS and 50th ranked education and my ass is out of here. |

| 169. | | Eric Conner Marlin March 24, 2009 at 10:19 pm | I fully support this petition. |
| 170. | | Dana Humphrey March 25, 2009 at 2:11 pm | I am ashamed to say you went to the same high school- BRHS. What did you learn? You are simply grandstanding and trying to win political points at the expense of Louisiana residents. I hope they recall you as Governor. |
| 171. | | Brandon Brooks  March 25, 2009 at 9:40 pm | It's goes to show that Louisiana still has not accept the change that the rest of the country is moving on!!!!!! |

| 174. | | Jared Greco April 21, 2009 at 9:26 pm | Stop concerning yourself with the national spotlight and take care of the REAL issues facing Lousiana. Combat that, or step down, or we will recall/not re-elect you. |
