Demonstrating the extent to which some judges are willing to go in their attempt to legislate, and not simply interpret, a federal judge in Wisconsin ruled on Thursday that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional. The National Day of Prayer is an important part of our nation’s heritage and history, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Indiana Right to Life endorsed Don as a pro-life candidate for United States Senate late last week. Earning the endorsement of the premier pro-life organization in Indiana is quite an honor. For years Evan Bayh was an inconsistent pro-life vote at best, frequently saying he was pro-life, but failing to come all the way through [...]]]></description>

If the Democrats were hoping for a groundswell of support after they passed their health care reform bill, I’m afraid they are being sadly disappointed. As we find out more and more what was in the actual bill that passed, some special interest groups are upset, and Americans continue to voice their [...]]]></description>

Congress is on the verge of passing a $2.5 trillion health care reform bill that will take health care decisions out of the hands of Hoosiers and place them in the hands of bureaucrats in Washington.  The choices that should be left to you, your family and your doctor will be [...]]]></description>
