Making A Difference In Warsaw

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

A lot of enthusiastic people filled the gymnasium at Lakeview Middle School in Warsaw, IN, on Saturday, November 21, 2009, for the “Making A Difference in 2010″ rally.  I haven’t yet seen any official estimates, but there were well over 1000 present.  The event was sponsored by 12 Tea Party and 912 organizations.  If you weren’t able to make it, you missed some rip-roaring speeches and an illuminating question-and-answer session between three contenders for the position of Republican challenger against Senator Evan Bayh in 2010.
