It’s been awhile, yes, it’s me again, Sherri Welsh. I’m the wife of Barry and also aka Congressional Candidates Wife.

First and foremost, I need to say "Thank you" to everyone that have supported Barry in his efforts to unseat Mike Pence in Indiana’s 6th Congressional District. My thanks is heartfelt and sincere and with out question from the bottom of my toes to the top of my head.

I’m not sure how anyone is going to feel about this diary nor even what to do. So here’s what I’m thinking – I’ll write my diary, put it on here. I do not have any expectations, if anyone wants to read it, comment, I will as always appreciate the fact that someone reads it and I’ll be grateful for any comments that anyone wishes to leave. My intent is to tell it how it really is and maybe it will be cathartic or maybe helpful? I’m just going to apologize up front for any improper grammar, sentence structure, spelling errors or anything else my English teacher would grade me on.

Ever have a day where you feel like you are ground into the earth? I’ve been feeling like that the last few months, like everyone else in our nation - there is work, worrying if one will have a job in this recession, watching hard earned pensions shrink (if we have the luxury of having a pension), groaning under the burden of higher health costs while painfully noticing what medical benefits one has are covering less and less, heating costs, rising inflation, trying to make a paycheck stretch to the next pay period – sound familiar? Then I find out John Edwards dropped out. It was almost too much. I so admire John and Elizabeth and everything they are trying to do. How crunched they must have been.

Ok, I am not a former President, so there should not be much of a fuss if I stump for my spouse. See I am getting this political lingo! lol

Yes, it’s me – Congressional Candidates Wife aka Sherri Welsh, wife of Congressional Candidate for Indiana’s 6th District – Barry Welsh.

I’m writing today to ask for your help; Barry is on the DFA Grassroots All-Stars site to vote as one of the nominees, you can vote more than once and you can vote for Barry in all three boxes. Now really, who’s more Grassroots than Barry??!!

For example, Barry ran as a complete unknown against the incumbent, the name I do not speak, with under $50,000 and received 40% of the vote. How grassroots is that??!!

Seeing as it’s that time of year (yes, I know I can’t believe it either) and since I’m doing the baking amongst packed and semi-unpacked boxes. I have areas where there seems no rhyme or reason to have boxes labeled "bedroom" in the office and it seems someone thinks I really must work in our bedroom (there are a number of boxes labeled "office" in the bedroom). I thought I’d share with everyone here.

Hello, yes I am still alive.....IN-06

Hi, I’m Sherri Welsh. I write as Congressional Candidates Wife, my husband is Barry Welsh – Indiana’s 6th Congressional district Democratic candidate (although Barry is really disappointed with the Democrats in Congress at the moment).
I haven’t written in a while, we’ve moved to our new home, scouted and setup our Barry Welsh for Congress headquarters, survived bronchitis, electrical outages, and I could have sworn there was a plague of locusts somewhere in the mix.

Congressional Candidates Wife is the name I write as and my name is Sherri Welsh. My husband is Barry Welsh, Congressional Candidate for Indiana’s 6th District.

Today is 9/11, like other diaries I’m sure a lot of people are writing about their experiences both positive and negative - pre/current and post 9/11, some have personally known victims and families of victims of 9/11 and it’s a release of emotion, heart felt and fierce.

Hi Folks it’s me again - Sherri Welsh, Congressional Candidates Wife of Barry Welsh (www.barrywelsh.org) - Indiana's 6th Congressional Candidate. Barry is the one who will replace Mike Pence in 2008. The Pence that compared Iraqi markets to "any market in Indiana in the summer time" that Pence!

If we want to change the outcome of our future, we have to change the way in which we proceed towards our future. We need Barry to affect change and put people back as the top priority of true representation.

Three of the top ten in the country. Top ten in poverty. One (Muncie) is at the heart of the 6th district. Here are the best and the worst from the US Census and the AP.

Three of the top ten here in Indiana.
That statement alone is bleak – staring at the number of poverty stricken cities that make up the top 10 in the country and 3 of them are in Indiana.
It is depressing, it’s humiliating, it’s like a hard stinging slap on the side of one’s face.
What is worse, is that there would be so many more towns in this district but they are not big enough population wise.

I am Sherri Welsh, my husband is Barry Welsh, Indiana’s 6th Congressional Candidate and I write using my other name – Congressional Candidates Wife.

I am tied up in knots. We are getting ready to close on a house this afternoon, so I'm home from work early. All I am thinking when it's not Barry's campaign is packing, packing and MORE packing.

I am also tied up in knots over our regional media. I am Sherri Welsh, wife of Barry Welsh, Congressional Candidate for Indiana's 6th District, I diary using the name "Congressional Candidates Wife".

I am really impressed and to be honest relieved with the way Barry and the campaign have hit the ground running. We have some extremely excellent people (can I say extremely excellent? I feel like I'm on one of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventures). One of the biggest newspapers in the district was covering an event Barry was attending. It is indeed going to be different this time.

Here is the report from The Anderson Herald-Bulletin on The MoveOn.org event yesterday.

Some concerns follow.

Have you seen this??? Cheney’s Quagmire, From MoveOn.org

I was shocked when Barry showed me the email titled Dick Cheney was Right.

Then he showed me the video.

Yeah, this!!! Hey, Cheney’s got hair and it’s ... gray, not white!

Then I saw the date stamp on the edge of the picture and noticed 1994.
For those of you that are curious, I’m Sherri Welsh, wife of Barry Welsh who has recently thrown his hat in to the ring for the Congressional Representative of the 6th District of Indiana. Wow, that’s a mouthful.

I wanted to write to ask if anyone else has seen this video? How come I didn’t see this before the invasion of Iraq?? Albeit, I do live in a rural county and the local news is weekly so some of the reporting is "economized" so to say. So I saw this on the net tonight and I’m not sure I know what to say.

Hi everybody! I know I am up late, but it is because I am all riled up and I can't sleep.

For those that don't know, I am Sherri Welsh and I diary as Congressional Candidates Wife, my husband is Barry Welsh, Democratic Candidate in Indiana's 6th Congressional District.

I am excited because Barry's campaign had it's first conference call tonight bringing many of the key people together for the first time.
There is such a difference. Bringing in professionals for key spots has already lifted me.

Barry is going around the district to the newspapers and radio and online media and that all started today and because of all this technology, you can hear one of Barry's interviews at The Muncie Free Press

I wanted to write and thank everybody that put my last diary from Yearly Kos on the recommended list. Thank you ALL!!

Barry and I just finished watching the debates and talking heads.

I’m not a Stepford wife and I have a mind of my own....

I diary as Congressional Candidates Wife, I’m Sherri Welsh. My husband, whom I prefer to refer to as DailyKos Blogger’s Husband, is Barry Welsh (had to get that in, we’ve been "discussing" political strategy).

It’s a clever poke at my husband and never mean or ill spirited. We like to have vigorous debates to discuss our differences and our commonalities in both opinion and view. I, personally have been very impressed with my husband’s insight and forward thinking position on the issues.
