Cedar Lake Goes Republican!!!

Cedar Lake and Hanover Township went Republican.   ME?  I got so ill that I could do very little but my wife walked and walked and worked to spread the word.   I did some blogging and networking but the candidates worked hard, many going door-to-door.   I remember Mitchel Lopez coming to our door and telling us that he was going to walk the entire neighborhood and he wound up beating Jim Hunley for Hanover Township Trustee.   I believe I recall Randy Niemeyer and Robert Carnahan out going door-to-door as well.   Debbie printed up a bunch of literature and passed it out as well and helping prepare information for the County and Hank Adams actually won!  Hurrah!!!   Way to go all you winners!

Now Cedar Lake is a part of the general conservative kick-back that has swept the country.  People want no part of Obamacare and socialism and want the spending to stop and the jobs to be back.   We need energy and transparency in government and leadership that listens to the people.  

Congratuations to Dawn and Greg Wornhoff and the rest of the Cedar Lake Republican group who worked to see this result.   Congratulations to Kim Krull for spearheading an election in Lake County that saw real gains in local elections plus the great victory of Hank Adams over Seaton!

Very sorry to see that we are still stuck with Porky Pete and most of the County offices go Democrat even if Freddie Krueger would run.   But if Hank can do it this time, maybe Fine and Bursac and other good candidates can wind up and make another run at it in 2012 and come out ahead?

Let's watch this one more time for kicks...

Ballot for 2010, please? Also some video pleas...

You can find your sample ballot and confirm your voting precinct and such pertinent information at this site.

Yes, you can confirm your registration status there as well.   If you live in my neighborhood, I would recommend the following Cedar Lake candidates.   I have met and spoken with almost every one of these candidates.   The local Cedar Lake candidates have been very involved in local government and made an effort to be available to local voters during the run-up to the election.   I am impressed with their ability to work together as a team and I believe they have a great plan to continue the improvements being made to Cedar Lake that were begun by Republicans in the first place.  Cedar Lake?Hanover candidates are underlined.

Senator Sue Landske is of course now a legendary public servant.  Richard Mourdock is a tremendous student of US history and the Constitution and a fine public speaker.  Mark Leyva formed the Lake County Tea Party.  Hank Adams and William Fine are running against candidates who are very likely not even qualified to run for public office in Lake County.  Dan Bursac is a good-hearted and experienced lawman who is far more qualified to take over the Sheriff's office than his opponent.   Statewide candidates are in bolded type and Lake County candidates are in red.

Review the Republican Candidates for Lake County here!

Also, I heartily recommend that Judge John R. Pera be retained. If only every government official was as professional as Judge Pera, who makes sure that politics and judicial decisions are never mixed. 

If you live on the other side of Cline Avenue from me, you will see Dan Klein on the ballot for Indiana District 19.   A personal friend has recommended him to me,  so I am happy to recommend him to you.
