The sad fact is that Indiana is right next to Illinois. Anyone who knows the history of this state can recall that in the 30s it was run by the KKK.
Frankly, we're fed up. We know there are numerous awesome local Dem parties who have been influenced by MoveOn, and OFA, plus DFA, who are just sitting there. I personally have had the pleasure of advocating for the Public Option, and I'm happy to say that all five of our Indiana Democratic Congressmen voted for it, in 2008.
It seems that we're down a few seats in the Congress. Indiana is, and remains, a tough sell here in the Bible belt. However I would like all Kos folks to understand that we worked EXTREMELY HARD for Barack.
I don't suppose any of you forgot that we also elected 5 of 9 seats in Congress, in '08? (Oh yeah: last time a Dem from North of the Mason-Dixon line won Indiana was ... '36)
Frankly, I think that it's kinda rude that all you "coastal" liberals have left us for dead. We actually work very hard here in Indiana, and we definitely need your support. Much as we love Wisconsin, this is a different state.
In case you haven't noticed, we've been totally ticked off about what Mitch Daniels has done to Planned Parenthood. Did ya see?
We absolutely refuse to give Indiana up to the Repubs in '12. We mean it. NO.
Please do not give us up for dead. We refuse to die. Okay, you can darned well do it. But you can't crush us. We live in the middle of the worst aspects of the Biible Belt. You try to kill us Indiana Dems. I dare ya. Go on! Try to stomp us out ... we'll be there ... you just can't stop us!!
That said, we have no statewide Dems now. We need your help. Planned Parenthood of Indiana needs your help!! :)
