***********
WE, THE PEOPLE Tomorrow (Saturday), Kitchen Korner in Georgetown, 10:00 AM, The Honorable Birch Bayh and Baron Hill will be having breakfast, and we're all invited to attend. Having never had the opportunity to meet Mr. Bayh, this is an honor.****************
We, The People Next Thursday, on the 26th the City will start shutting down Pearl Street at 2:00 PM. Baron Hill and Evan Bayh will appear at 4:00 PM. This is another event I hope all Democrats can come out to and help rally these two forward.
We, The People Excellent news for New Albany and a chance to be among these people and see what they're about. My sincerest admiration to all 3 individuals for their civic works.
We, The People As a Democrat, I have been neglectful with my Blog because of family and life's obligations. Gratefulness has set in on me for delaying my responses on this blog, simply based upon one statement I heard today which was "they can't even get Sean Hannity on board (of Hannity & Holmes on FOX).
We, The People Reading the political science experts from Virginia and elsewhere, I believe, too, there will be a Democratic sweep in the fall.
We, The People Reading in the paper the other day about some of Baron Hill's, Mr. Sodrel's and Mr. Eric Schansberg's responses to various issues surprised me a bit. Yes, Baron admits to being duped into this war in Iraq; Sodrel said he would have voted the same way if shown that evidence; yet Mr. Schansberg's response was it didn't matter to him how we got there... Well, it matters to me, and it matters to some voters. First we were told it was because of weapons of mass destruction (NOT); now we are being told so we can create some kind of "democratic" state in the middle of the Middle East; I'm waiting on the true answer and it DOES MATTER WHY WE ARE THERE AND WHY OUR GUYS ARE DYING AND BEING INJURED AT SUCH ALARMING RATES.
We, The People Also, Mr. Schansberg, you sent me a message regarding some of your philosophies; and I for one will not fit into your mode that I am only voting along party line if I support Mr. Hill. Knowing him personally; knowing what he stands for; and how he always listens to me may set me apart from your normal voter you would/should be talking to.
We, The People The ads Sodrel are running against Baron Hill saying he voted against the burning of the flag; he voted against banning gay marriage, etc., etc. Baron Hill did not mind passing legislature for same -- he was simply protecting OUR CONSTITUTION. He felt, and so does my family strongly, LEAVE THE CONSTITUTION ALONE.
We, The People Baron Hill also believes religion and politics should not be used in the same sentence. Separation of Church and State - yes, another one of my conservative values.
We, The People To me, the voters are noticing that in every TV ad on TV ran by a Republican attacking a Democrat are all using the phrase "this "..." Is too LIBERAL for the appropriate state" the commercial shows in. What a crock. It's transparent being oh so obvious in trying to make the word LIBERAL dirty.
We, The People With the now unfolding Mark Foley scandal, and now another one from the state of Arizona -- Jim Colby; I feel this will tilt the elections even further. Is Mr. Foley now maintaining because he was molested by a priest when he was a child is "justification" for his actions now? Unfortunately, we will not hear from the new "ethics" committee appointed until after the elections.
We, The People For Indiana State wide elections, in Floyd County, the Democrats are looking good. Senator Connie Sipes has her supporters in the City and County because of her passion working on "eminent domain".
We, The People For State Representative, Bill Cochran looks to be a shoo in.
We, The People The County Auditor, Theresa Plaiss (who does a good job) has no opponent and will be your next Auditor. I predict Barb Sillings will win Township Auditor, no problem. Brenda Egge may have a tight race. There will be a tight race for the Sheriff's office with Mills and Loop (no doubt about that one). There will be a tight race for the Prosecutor's Office, also, between Judge Lee Cotner and Keith Henderson. The Township Board makeup and their races will be interesting. Linda Moeller should win County Clerk. She has always done a bang up job, whether it was being the work horse of the Democrat party, or in her position as Deputy County Clerk. She'll do well. The County Commissioner seat looks like it is leaning towards Stumler. The County does not want sewers, and we don't want their sewage until ours is fixed, and Mr. Seabrook can't untie himself from the sewers.
WE, THE PEOPLE That's all for this eve...The Moderator has been removed and posting at will anonymously will be allowed. As the publisher of this blog, I reserve the right to remove remarks not pertaining to the current elections, and any slanderous comments that may be levied. Thanks.
