"To replace this seniority with a junior member of the minority party who cannot decide whether he is a Democrat or Republican, Progressive or Conservative, Pro-War or Anti-War, would be foolish in the extreme.

"Our nation needs your leadership, vision and determination to fight for working families and older Americans," former Congresswomen Barbara Kennelly, D-Conn., who is the organization's President and Chief Executive Officer, said in a letter to Sen. Landrieu. "You understand that congressional efforts to privatize Social Security, which would undermine the most successful social insurance program ever, continue... National Committee members and supporters want you in the United States Senate to continue protecting Social Security and Medicare -- the twin pillars necessary to a good quality of life for Americans of all ages."
– National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare
"During her 12 years in Congress, Sen. Landrieu has been an ardent and effective advocate for Louisiana. One of her main priorities was to get the state a share of the oil and gas revenues produced off our coast and, after years of hard work, she was successful in 2006. Louisiana expects to get $200 million in the first decade and $650 million per year after 2017, but Sen. Landrieu, who has a coveted spot on the Appropriations Committee, hopes to speed up the payout to give the state more money to use for rebuilding the coast over the next five or 10 years."

Landrieu in the next few months to make sure we do everything we can to show Louisianians what she has done for the state and why we need to send her back.''
– Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo
