		<title>The Fight For A Bolder, More Conservative Louisiana State Government</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Great news in our fight for a bolder, more conservative Louisiana state government.

		<title>Still No Explanation for Moratorium from Obama Administration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We had a U.S. Senate Small Business Committee field hearing in Lafayette on the effects of the moratorium on Louisiana businesses today.

		<title>Elena Kagan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have heard, the U.S. Senate voted today to confirm Elena Kagan&#8217;s nomination to the Supreme Court. As I&#8217;ve previously stated, I have deep concerns over Kagan&#8217;s past legal work &#8211; specifically her hostile views toward Americans&#8217; right to keep and bear arms, military recruiters on campus, and right-to-life issues.

		<title>My op-ed on the Obama moratorium</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Obama moratorium could prove to be more devastating than the spill itself. Last week, I introduced a bill that would lift Obama’s newest moratorium.
