Senator Landrieu has been in office since 1997. She has served the State of Louisiana with pride and resolve. If it weren't for Senator Landrieu there would be no recovery post Katrina. She has brought tens of billions of federal dollars into Louisiana to rebuild. The Army Corp of Engineers has built the most sophisticated flood prevention system in the country, if not the world. The monies brought into that project exceeded all of the Army Corps budget for the entire country.

Appropriations Subcommittee, today announced a preliminary agreement between
the United States and Mexican governments to suspend the ongoing antidumping
and countervailing duty investigations of illegal sugar exports from Mexico.
The deal follows yesterday's preliminary finding by the United States Department
of Commerce (Commerce) that the Mexican government dumped sugar on the
U.S. market at a price lower than legally allowed, effectively hurting Louisiana's
sugar industry. In August, Commerce also announced its affirmative preliminary
determination in the investigation of countervailing duties on imported sugar from
Mexico. Countervailing duties (CVDs) are trade taxes imposed to combat the
negative effect of subsidies on certain industries....

Protection (CBP) will pay $19 million to the Louisiana crawfish industry from unpaid
duties the agency collected in a court judgment against Chinese processors that

industry, and is nearly three times more than last year's payout....

Poverty Point will be preserved for generations to come and will boost Northeast
Louisiana's tourism industry, attracting many explorers that seek out
World Heritage sites. Poverty Point's designation as a World Heritage Site will
also increase the demand for jobs in Northeast Louisiana, allowing families to
have high-quality and high-paying jobs in their local communities.

"More than 3,000 years ago, Poverty Point was an economic engine for this
region, and it will be again as a World Heritage Site. In the past, it brought
goods and materials to be traded, today it will bring tourists and jobs to grow
and expand the middle class," Sen. Landrieu said. "The process to secure this
status for Poverty Point has truly been a team effort. Without the work of
Lt. Gov. Dardenne and his staff, State Senator Francis Thompson, and the staff
and high-ranking officials of the Departments of State and Interior who have
spent countless hours on this nomination, we would not be here today. I
appreciate that the World Heritage Committee gave Poverty Point this
recognition and confirmed what we in Louisiana have known for many years:
Poverty Point is a true cultural landmark and it deserves this recognition."...

were moved over long distances, some up to 1,400 miles (2,250 km). Many
kinds of materials were traded, including flint, sandstone, quartzite, slate, shale,
granite and other coarse igneous rocks, limonite, hematite, magnetite, soapstone,
greenstone, crystal quartz, copper, galena, and dozens of others. They came
from many areas of the mid-continent, including the Ouachita, Ozark, and
Appalachian mountains and the Upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. Even
gravels were probably traded, since they were not always available within easy
reach of every Poverty Point site.
The Poverty Point trade network reached throughout the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Sites, like Claiborne near the Gulf coast, participated. So did sites, like Jaketown,
in the northern sections. Many other sites were also involved, especially those
close to the larger sites, where trade seems to have been more intensive.
However, trade was by no means uniform nor did every site or community in the
Lower Mississippi Valley participate. The trade that took place at the Poverty Point
site was the most intensive of all....
Senator Landrieu has worked hard for the State of Louisiana. She deserves to be
re-elected. Quite frankly, she is a relief to the ruthless found in the US Senate.
Louisiana has a gem in Mary Landrieu and should let her go. There are just a small
number of her accomplishments as she seeks to strengthen Louisiana.
