It’s no secret that Dan Claitor has been attacking Lee Domingue‘s character and integrity throughout this Senate race, but what’s been even worse is the one-sided media coverage. I have lost all respect for The Advocate, and though I wrote them a great letter to the editor, they SHOCKINGLY didn’t print it. I have copied my letter below for you to read, as well as links to articles Pastor Dino Rizzo of Healing Place Church and Rolfe McCollister of the BR Business Report wrote about the nonsense (he reveals some interesting secrets of Claitor’s buying media coverage, The Advocate’s unethical treatment of Domingue, and his opponents’ undercover connections).
Take some time to read this stuff and really educate yourself. The lies you are hearing and the “whisper campaign” going around are just that- LIES. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again- you want Lee Domingue as your next State senator. He has a proven record of creating jobs, bringing life to the impoverished, and doing a lot for the community. What’s a lawyer who has run for three different positions in the last couple years going to bring new to the Louisiana legislature? Been there, done that.

Dear Editor,
I have to say that I am thoroughly disappointed by your one-sided coverage of the District 16 State Senate election campaigns. While never once airing Dan Claitor’s “dirty laundry”, you continue to attack Lee Domingue both outright and through “fact sharing” nonsense. Anyone who knows Lee knows that he is an open book and is glad to share with you about his mistakes and failures. Is Dan Claitor willing to do that? What 40+ year old man has not made mistakes or been hurt in the past by friends or associates?
Lee Domingue will never stoop down to dirty politics, because he is here to bring CHANGE not more of the same Louisiana bantor. By harping on things of the past and not focusing on the GOOD he is bringing to our city, our state and the world, you are only hurting the people of this great community. Why don’t you talk about the millions of dollars he has given to give sex slaves a chance at freedom, or the years of hard work and dedication he has put into becoming a successful businessman, or the recognition he has received for his pro-activity in making things happen? Why don’t you write a piece about his PLANS for making Louisiana better, about his partnerships that can help make that happen, or his upstanding character and never-give-up attitude?
It’s disgusting to read the slander you write about him. Do you even check your facts? It really makes some of us believe that you are either being bought and paid for, or are scared of his connections to other local publishers. Really, next time you go to print something praising Claitor and bashing Domingue, I hope you do your homework and find out maybe the person you are attacking is the person you should be thanking and voting for.
