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. It is hard to guess the size of the crowd, but half of the lawn was filled by the time Congressman Mike Pence gave a stirring speech calling on Hoosiers to continue to stand up against Obamacare. 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.

Of all the times in which one might think that Republicans might actually start to “get it” and see that Hoosiers are fed up with liberalism and political parties that mirror each other, this might be that year. Yet, in spite of political earthquakes in Massachusetts and now one here in Indiana this week, the Indianapolis Republican party leadership seems to be living on another planet right now.

Evan Bayh, Marlin Stutzman and John Hostetler walk into a bar.

They belly-up and the first one says, “I’m Marlin Stutzman and I’m running for Senate, give me a drink.”

The second one says “”I’m John Hostettler and I’m running for Senate, give me a drink”

The third one says “Hmm.. I’m Dan coats and people tell me that sounds like a good idea. Me, too.”

In the next seat was the RNSC representative. “Great, so it’s official!”

Yet another confused candidate enters the fray for the 3rd district house seat.

I have. This morning I got a monkey in my inbox.

Phil Troyer is running for congress. Troyer, or someone in his organization signed up my “personal” email address to receive his electronic newsletter. It’s an email address that is not associated with this site, and one I rarely use. Hmmm.. come to think of it, the last time I used this particular address was to receive email from a certain mayoral campaign.

From the Watertown Daily Times.

Dede Scozzafava, the Republican and Independence parties candidate, announced Saturday that she is suspending her campaign for the 23rd Congressional District and releasing all her supporters.

The state Assemblywoman has not thrown her support to either Doug Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate, or Bill Owens, the Democratic candidate.

“Today, I again seek to act for the good of our community,” Ms. Scozzafava wrote in a letter to friends and supporters. “It is increasingly clear that pressure is mounting on many of my supporters to shift their support. Consequently, I hereby release those individuals who have endorsed and supported my campaign to transfer their support as they see fit to do so. I am and have always been a proud Republican. It is my hope that with my actions today, my party will emerge stronger and our district and our nation can take an important step towards restoring the enduring strength and economic prosperity that has defined us for generations.”

It will be interesting to see how Newt Gingrich spins this. Maybe he’ll just crawl under a rock for a couple of months.

We have word that tomorrow, Indiana State Representative Jackie Walorski intends on filing paperwork forming her candidate committee. This is only the administrative filing, which allows her to begin raising and spending money to explore her options.

The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly (D).

From the News Sentinel:

Dr. Tom Hayhurst former and future candidate for Congress, 3rd District

“I like the president’s emphasis on the character of our country. I went to medical school because I wanted to take care of people when they get sick. We have millions of people going bankrupt, and the death rate from breast cancer is greater if people don’t have health insurance. We need to somehow make sure all people have health care. The president laid out his plan. In many ways it was rational. He said he was willing to talk to legislators on both sides of the aisle. That’s very good. I hope they take that to heart and don’t keep saying no to any plan that may come along.”
