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.

Filed under: Accountable Representation — Tags: , , , , , , — Northwest Indiana Patriots @ 3:26 pm

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.
