Welcome to One Baton Rouge, an outreach of the One Baton Rouge Committee

One Baton Rouge
Dear Friends, One Baton Rouge was a success in uniting various people of East Baton Rouge Parish. One Baton Rouge fulfilled its main purpose in providing a forum for individuals interested in free speech and free association to foster a community environment where everyone was safe to congregate, teach, learn and live - even if that meant forming a new city.

The "One Baton Rouge" that operated and maintained this website was NOT a part of the St. George incorporation controversy, pro or con.

A new entity, incorporated as "One Baton Rouge" advertised and publicized against the new city, but none of the original people involved in One Baton Rouge were involved, so far as we know. One Baton Rouge ceased operation for all practical purposes shortly after Together Baton Rouge began its public operation. One Baton Rouge was not associated with TBR in any way.

PLEASE DO NOT CALL former members of One Baton Rouge mentioned on this page for comments on St. George, Together Baton Rouge, or One Baton Rouge, Inc. One Baton Rouge stood for the rights of ALL citizens to determine their own future, individually or as a body. At least one former member of our group has been harassed by phone concerning OBR's supposed role in stopping St. George. If you cannot find information about the new, incorporated OBR, or the people running it, we don't know.

This page is being maintained as a matter of historical fact and interest.

Thank you!

What were YOU doing May 19th?

One Baton Rouge wanted people from all walks of life and every imaginable characteristic to participate in our movement..

We do not want to try and change people, or force anyone to accept people, places, or things they are not interested in or accustomed to. We believe everyone should be free to lead their life as they wish. It is our sincerest hope that people will discover the joy to be had living in a diversified community through the idea of oneness, which is much different than sameness.
