Voices from the Statehouse Urge Congress to “Kill the Bill”

On Monday afternoon, I was privileged to be a part of the Indianapolis TEA Party “Kill the Bill” rally on the South steps of the State Capitol.

There were easily 1,000 people standing in the cold drizzle to show their concern about the massive health care legislation that some want to ram through Congress this week.

Just before council started last night one member noticed a large drawing of the Ardmore corridor taped to the wall and lamented “that will take three hours.” He could not have been farther from the truth. Half an hour at the max. Not even Liz Brown challenged assumptions. Only Marty Bender commented, from his position as president and from experience in “working accidents there” that there might be some minor design flaws. Nothing much, John Shoaff, an advocate for the project, had two star witnesses on the bench ready to call in, but there was no need. David Ross, the city engineer, repeated note how involved the process had been and how many hours had been spent working with the neighborhood to get “everyone on board.” It was his mantra last night. Neighborhood involvement. So, a few simple questions and a vote. Yeas carried. Everybody was in favor. The price tag is well over $3 million, but Mr. Ross noted that the bids came in much, much under, around a million dollars under, the estimates. Great savings, according to Ross. So they seem to be.

What do you get when you take someone that enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1999, served in Fallujah as a sergeant in 2004, calls himself a libertarian and a constitutional conservative, and has the backing of Ron Paul, the Republican Liberty Caucus and the 912 Project?

Sex can be very, very divisive. It certainly was at council last night. Just ask Councilman Tom Smith how it felt to be personally attacked for a rude and insensitive statement he is alleged to have made. Just ask the dozens of young people who showed up to lobby for “their rights.” Just ask the score or so who were there to rail against “those people.” Just ask the rest of council all of whom who sat through forty long, long minutes of contentious arguments from both sides. It was an impassioned evening that can be described as sad.
