News you can use - March on out and April springs in!

Friday - March 26 - 7:00-9:30 PM
The Huntington Tea Party Candidate Forum was a bridge too far for us so no official blog post coverage.  All five U.S. Senatorial Candidates were there answering questions and visiting with voters.  We need to find the best candidate and show Washington who's in charge!  We The People!!!


Fair warning...I believe that Marlin Stutzman is the best candidate at this time and that is my opinion and is not an official opinion of the Republican Party.   I do know that Marlin Stutzman won the straw poll after the debate.  Stay tuned for a report from an attendee coming soon!

All Republican candidates were invited. We have confirmations from Eric Olsen, Adam Dombkowski, Ric Holtz, and Peter Lindemulder. We have finalized the forum format and will be sending out to all of those who have confirmed their presence.

Lake County Right To Life Chairman Len Reynolds emailed me this:

A little baby boy saved today March 23. 

We were given the chance to talk to a mom who did not want her 16 yr old to abort.

We were then able to talk to her and got her to the Doctor  (the doctor was very busy and this almost did not happen) and he did an ultrasound and she is having a boy she is 16 weeks.

I told her that many times parents make young girls abort, however her mom and dad

wanted her to have the baby.  She left with an ultrasound picture of the baby!!!

This was very intense and a real battle.

Even though the 40 days is over we still need  to be at pp, please continue to come out!

God Bless

Dee

We that pray need to pray for babies to have a chance at life.  Those who can, give something to the effort.  Donate baby clothes, phones, money, volunteer time, pass on information...all these activities work together to save lives!

We are a non-partisan, social organization that seeks to unite liberty-minded individuals not only with one another, but also with freedom-based organizations within their local communities.

Please share this information with your Facebook and MySpace pages as well as your friends and family members. All are welcome.

Why do I keep talking about the Tea Party Patriot movement on this blog?  Because these are the people who have realized that their country is broken and therefore it is time for them to get up and get out and be part of the solution.   They want the Republican Party to be a party of Constitutional Conservatives and not a bunch of Beltway Boys.   If we are true to our principles they will join with us.

Ronald Reagan would, were he alive and well today, be very likely on tour with the Tea Party Express.  My fellow Republicans, open your eyes and ears!   Tea Party Patriots want the same things Republicans used to stand for, before we fell for the lure of centrist moderate go along to get along mediocre muddle instead of fundamental conservative principles that Ronnie stood for and by which this country was formed and by which we grew and prospered!

I will be posting a few bios on some of the candidates running locally if said candidates send me some good information.  Informed voters make better choices!

My fellow Republicans may not like this but my personal opinion is that Dan Coats has no business running for office in Indiana.   I will tell you why in a subsequent post.  Why did our State leadership want Dan Coats to come back from Virginia?   I just don't get it!  But that debate is for next time...
