Endorsements:

We The People: NorthWest Indiana Patriots, has not and will not endorse any candidates for the primary.

You may have heard member of NorthWest Indidna Patiots name associated with endorsements….this is true. We have members and board members that have personally endorsed candidates. We have no control of how the media or candidates use that information for radio spots and print media. That is the opinions and right of these individuals to pursue what is right in their lives. Personally if I was a candidate I would be proud to receive an endorsement from a member of NorthWest Indiana Patriots.

So for the record……NorthWest Indiana Patriots has not and will not endorse any candidates for the primary. Post primary we intend to continue to educate ourselves and our membership on the election candidates and score them against our mission statement. Candidates with a higher percentage of matching to our group and movement will be obvious choices even if we elect to not endorse them.

Senate Vote On Abortion Funding Amendment Today

There may be a vote on the abortion-funding amendment in the Senate health care reform debate today.  If you have strong feelings about whether your tax dollars go to funding abortion, today is a good opportunity to get your view on the record with  Senator Lugar and Senator Bayh.  A simple “I am opposed to tax-payer funded abortion in any health care reform bill” will do.
