Some person or persons working in the US Senate has created or copied a list of talking points which 
they describe “Key Talking Points” and “Points For Possible Press Release or Letter to the Editor” on 
behalf of U.S. Senator David Vitter and has been used for distribution to bolster David Vitter’s position 
as he begins to return to the U.S. Senate this week.  

The “talking points” revelation comes at a time when some Republicans are coming out in support of the 
Senator and have written letters of support for the embattled politician. 

The documentation of the talking points is the metatag which is coded in Microsoft Word software.  
Because of the metatags, these talking points came directly from the US Senate but it is uncertain who 
drafted or copied the content.  Nonetheless, they were likely written or  copied and dissiminated by an 
individual with access to Microsoft Word from a Senate computer. 

The content of the talking points are evidence of an orchestrated device to create support for Senator 
Vitter at a time when he has not made any public appearances since the breaking of the D.C. Madam 
story.

The document is further evidence that a US government institution is being used for political purposes 
instead of governmental purposes.

The word document did not have the name of the author, nor did it have the identity of the organization 
such as the “U.S. Office of David Vitter” which would indicate that it was an official document or 
press release from that office.  Also, it did not have a heading or symbol that it was from any 
political organization such as the “Friends of David Vitter” or the “National Republican Party” 
which would be a political document.

Here is the content of the “Key Talking Points” and “Points for Possible Press Release or Letter 
to the Editor”.  The document was sent to Bayoubuzz by a David Vitter supporter with two 
attachments of two articles written by a Louisiana columnist which content indicates he used the 
talking points since some of the content was verbatim.

Key Talking Points

Senator Vitter did the right thing by telling the truth, taking

responsibility for his actions with God and his family, and apologizing

to us.  He deserves forgiveness.

It's unfortunate that political enemies and the news media have turned

this past mistake/sin - before he was even in the Senate - into a feeding frenzy and a license to report false rumors. 

David Vitter is doing good work in the U.S. Senate fighting against

illegal immigration, for access to cheaper prescription drugs and to

help Louisiana recover from the hurricanes.  I'll continue to support

him so he can continue this good work in the U.S. Senate.  We need him in the U.S. Senate to 
continue this good work.> 

Points for Possible Press Release or Letter to the Editor

Senator Vitter did the right thing by telling the truth, taking

responsibility for his actions with God and his family, and apologizing

to us.  He deserves forgiveness. 

These incidents occurred many years ago in David's past - prior to his

work as a U.S. Senator 

David Vitter has accomplished a great deal while serving in the Senate

including:

Effectively leading the charge to kill a bad amnesty bill

Fighting for access to cheaper and more affordable prescription drugs

Securing vital highway and infrastructure project funding for the state

Fighting tireless for water resource and hurricane protection

It's unfortunate that political enemies and the news media have turned

this past mistake/sin - before he was even in the Senate - into a

feeding frenzy and a license to report false rumors.

And one other point:  The Canal Street Story is Completely False

The Canal Street Madam is pushing a book and television deal -

effectively using David's situation to further her own financial gain.

All FOUR attorneys on the Madam case say Vitter wasn't involved -

including U.S. Attorney Jim Letten, the madam's own defense attorney and the attorneys for her mother and daughter.  

This week, a flurry of emails were also sent to Bayoubuzz from high-ranking public officials from Jason Hebert, the former Executive Director of the Louisiana Republican Party.  The emails by his supporters were hoping that Vitter would heal, and to note that Vitter was an effective government official.  The most detailed and provocative of all of the emails came from Congressman Richard Baker.

Here are his comments:

The dean of the Louisiana congressional delegation, U.S. Rep. Richard Baker, R-Baton Rouge, issued the following statement today in support of Sen. David Vitter (R-La.):

"The past conduct that Sen. Vitter has acknowledged and taken responsibility for is serious and disappointing, but it does not define the whole of the man, and it is not irredeemable.  I extend to him and his family my support and prayers, and I would ask that the media also keep his family in mind and demonstrate some restraint and professionalism in the days ahead.

"Since the initial revelation, the news this week has been filled with lurid and unsubstantiated, and often contradicted, accusations.  I do not know the facts involved, and I understand the public's right to get the facts.  But I sense the media does a disservice to the public and the Vitter family in not abiding by their basic obligation to seek some verification of the truth before running with any allegation that comes along.

"David has been a great Senator.  Just recently he was a hero in the fight to defeat amnesty for illegal immigrants, and nobody has worked harder to help the state since Hurricane Katrina.  I look forward to our future work together on these and other important issues, and I have every expectation that he will continue to serve as a great Senator.

"If a man has values and standards, but does not always live up to them, it does nothing to discredit the validity of those values and standards, and he is far preferable to those timid souls who, without values and standards, cannot fall short of them, nor ever run the risk of being charged with hypocrisy."

Bayoubuzz has not received any documents from any governmental agency such as the U.S. Senate that have even mentioned David Vitter. 

Bayoubuzz has received an email from the Louisiana State Democratic Party calling for the resignation of David Vitter.  That document said, “The Louisiana Democratic Party has launched an online petition calling for the resignation of Sen. David Vitter. The petition appears on the Party’s website, www.lademo.org.

The purpose behind the petition is a way to collectively gather names of the many phone calls and email from voters who are intolerant of Vitter’s hypocritical behavior and his irresponsible behavior in the U.S. Senate, according to Louisiana Democratic Party Chairman Chris Whittington.”

To date, the Louisiana Republican Party which often sends of emails in support or against issues, elected officials, and candidates has not released any correspondence in support or against the continuation of David Vitter as the U.S. Senator.  Nor has Roger Villere, the Chairman of the Louisiana Republican Party issued any formal statement although he has been quoted by the Daily Advertiser as saying that “The consensus is they don’t want him to resign,” Villere said after spending hours in phone consultation with Republicans for the past three days.”
