Join us for the Hoosier Conservatives Rally for Richard Mourdock!  The media is reporting that the Tea Party movement is dead!  Join us on May 5, 12:30-2:00 in Indianapolis at the Veterans Memorial Plaza, 50 East Michigan, Indianapolis, IN for a national conservative rally in support of a Tea Party Senate candidate to show the naysayers that the Tea Party movement remains powerful.  This race has national implications, and is a chance for Tea Party activists around the country to unite behind Tea Party activist Richard Mourdock against 36-year moderate RINO incumbent Richard Lugar.  The race is close and your presence can help the Tea Party win a monumental victory.  If we descend on Indianapolis and build momentum for the Tea Party, we’ll be unstoppable in 2012.  45 Hoosier Tea Party groups have signed on as sponsors already for the rally, as have Tea Party Express and the NRA.

Marion County Election Board will hear voter fraud charges against Senator Richard Lugar on March 17th at 11am.

This is big news for our cause! Many of you joined us the day we delivered the petitions to Governor Daniels. You also helped participate in the voter fraud complaint petition that was delivered to the Marion County election board the next day by Greg Wright. Please note: This is separate from the Inhabitant issue. This issue is regarding Senator Lugar voting from a home he sold in 1977. (if you remember when the Indiana Election Commission met, this is the part they were hung up on, but they could do nothing about it because that was not what the complaint was.) Here is a copy of the letter. WE NEED AS MANY OF YOU TO ATTEND AS POSSIBLE!

March 7, 2012
Mr. Greg Wright
Certified Fraud Examiner
Mr. Wright,
This letter is to provide you notice that the Marion County Election Board (“Board”) will meet at 11:00 a.m. on March 15, 2012 in room 107 of the City-County Building, 200 E. Washington Street, Indianapolis, IN. During this meeting, the Board will consider staff’s preliminary review of W. Gregory Wright’s complaint against Richard and Charlene Lugar filed February 17, 2012. Both Petitioners and the Lugars should submit any additional information that they would like to be included in staff’s preliminary review by close of business on Monday, March 12th. Both Petitioners and the Lugars are invited to attend this hearing in person or by counsel, but whether statements and/or testimony are heard at this meeting will be at the discretion of the Board. As a result of the Board’s preliminary review of the complaint, the Board may take action including, but not limited to the following:
(1) determine there is not substantial reason to believe an election law violation has occurred and no further action is required;
(2) determine that there is substantial reason to believe an election law violation has occurred and instruct counsel and staff to conduct further investigation pursuant to the Board’s direction;
(3) determine there is substantial reason to believe an election law violation has occurred, find that sufficient investigation has been made, and take appropriate action, such as referring the matter to the Marion County Prosecutor; or
(4) take all matters under advisement and reserve action for a later time.
If you have additional information or analysis for staff’s review, please forward it to my attention as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Myla Eldridge
Director of Elections – Marion Co. Election Board

> Fox 59 News had a segment Monday, February 20, about Senator Richard Lugar’s Indiana residency. He was asked what address is on his drivers license. That address is 3200 Highwoods Ct, a house that Lugar sold in 1977 and to which he has no connection. The U.S. Constitution requires an elected official to live in the area he represents. Lugar permanently moved to Washington D.C., just a year after he was elected to the Senate and has not been an inhabitant of Indiana since.

Lugar said he did spend 89 nights at a home on the far southwest side while he was in town to take care of his tree farm. He said it’s not appropriate to put that address on his registration papers because that’s not where he lives. If that’s the case, how is it appropriate to claim 3200 Highlands Ct as his address on his voting record and drivers license when he has had no connection to that address in over 30 years. Would anyone else be allowed to put a residence address on voting records and a drivers license that was not accurate? Isn’t a residence where you live? Senator Lugar says it’s too expensive to have a house in Indiana, but is it ok for taxpayers to be charged for his expensive hotel stays for over 30 years? The senator has spent more on hotels than most Hoosiers have spent on their houses. If the senator claims he has a habitable house in Indiana, it is even more outrageous that he sticks Indiana with his hotel bills. Besides that, Senator Lugar has received over $150,000 in farm subsidies from the federal government. So Indiana taxpayers are paying to keep a business afloat for a non-resident.

No matter how you slice it, the Senator has no claim to being an inhabitant of Indiana, as is required by the Constitution for him to be a representative of our state. It’s time to retire Lugar.

Join us on Wednesday, February 15th at 7pm for the general meeting of the Constitutional Patriots. We meet at North Indianapolis church of Christ, 9618 Shelborne Road in Carmel. We’ll be reviewing the legislative issues that the Patriots have been involved in and also discuss the candidates for the upcoming 2012 primary. Our meetings are free and open to the public. We try to adjourn by 8:30. See you then!!

Great news!
The Indiana Health Care Compact (HCC), HB 1269, has been successfully passed out of committee – now it goes to the House Floor for a vote!

Thanks to all involved in this effort to bring health care jurisdiction back to Indiana.

The Indiana Health Care Compact Team appreciate all you have done in this basic, Tenth Amendment issue – to determine WHO decides in health care decisions.

Keep a watch out as this goes to the House floor.

On Wednesday, January 18th, there will be a public hearing at the State House on the proposed new law designed to improve regulation of Indiana redevelopment commissions. The meeting, called by the Committee on Local Government, will be held in room 130 at 1:30 PM for the purpose of hearing public opinion regarding Senate Bill 25. At this time, we will present the petitions we collected to Senator Phil Boots who is co-sponsor of the bill with Senator Luke Kenley.

The more of us who can attend, and perhaps testify in support of the bill, the stronger influence we can be on our lawmakers. There are plenty of special interest groups who compete for the attention of legislators. We need to diminish their influence, and support our lawmakers who are sympathetic with the Tea Party.

We have several Tea Party members who plan to testify in favor of SB25, but it wouldn’t be possible for us to have too many Tea Party folks converge on the State House. Our presence shows our unity of purpose and demonstrates our strength. See you there!

Dwight Lile, Spokesman
