"Indiana government has grown so complex there are not enough reporters or even informed activists to stay with its twists and turns. There is simply too much going on. We are left to the mercy of last-minute deals, spin doctors and fast-talking lobbyists."
--Craig Ladwig for INDIANA POLICY REVIEW
If Indiana's Tea Party activists would work toward the goal of reform of local government, I believe we could get Indiana's government under control with the help of a handful of good politicians who are doing all they can to serve us well. It's time to take the tea parties to school board meetings, city council meetings, and the state legislature. --Melyssa for HFFT

I don't disagree and respect your leadership and experience, but I believe in a type of focus and discipline. Focus in having a compelling, understandable case on a particular issue. Discipline in staying on it and not drifting to others that are divisive, either from those disagreeing within your own big tent, or those that want to splinter your movement. I see opportunity from the townships to D.C. in spelling out the consequences of economic fantasy- California being the petri dish & majority of polled America expressing concern. Mervilde's raise was batted aside for now. There was some rising in the rabble against the economically dysfunctional state budget proposed at the end of the regular session. There is a stirring. But, I again, respectfully, suggest that unless we want to see the pepetuation of this childish notion that everybody can have everything, we need the incredulous middle of America to move abortion, immigration, et al, down the list for now. To pull this out of the fire, we have to focus on government that is accountable and expects sacrifice from ALL- not just the constituency of the other party.
Well put, anonymous.
