So far the Rev. has collected 19,000 signatures in 3 days as reported in the local newspapers. Lookis like Mr. Cao's days are numbered. The group has 180 days to get the total of 100,000 and they just might do it, if Gov. Jindel refuses the money.

My dear Friend Mr. Kitty something didn't seem right from the beginning. First the money in the Freezer was like an old movie, I question by all these people lived in a house and went in the freezer and never saw that much money. I remember the Feds from the old days set up a Mafia member by putting the money in the freezer. Next why did Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert run up the hall to stop the raid? Now at first I thought it was to support Dollar Bill but then I learned other officials were protected by a law and Dennis didn't want that Law to change because he could have been next. Then the results showed the real story as a Republican got Dollar Bill's seat and that's always a good thing when it comes to votes.
