"Our Councils' Gift to Us" - The logo adorning the now popular “sea of red” T-shirts having made public appearance at the December 2008 option tax hearing is an image of a grinchly figure withdrawing money from the pocket of a sleeping taxpayer.

MAY 4

Petition Rally Gets Results!

You folks were amazing! With only two hours lead time, we contacted those of you with e-mails and made a few calls – and within two hours FORTY of you

 (along with others) were at Jackie Walorski’s  press conference announcing

a petition drive asking Indiana to appeal the Obama healthcare bill.

 

Then hundreds of you signed petitions and encouraged others to get online to sign.

 

Result:  Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller announced that an amended lawsuit will be filed in federal court with Indiana joining 13 other states!

INDIANA WILL FIGHT!

Common Sense SURVEY RESULTS

 

Results:

 

1.       Should we amend the State Constitution to cap property taxes at 1-2-3 levels?

Yes - 35%   No - 52%   Not Sure - 13%

(Comments:  Something is better than nothing;   We need to go after spending not taxes;

This still doesn’t address reassessment; Doesn’t belong in the Constitution)

 

2.        Should we eliminate township governments?

Yes - 8%   No - 88%   Not Sure - 4%

(Comments:  This is our most grassroots form of government;

Who wants the county running our fire departments?;

This needs to be decided township by township on the ballot)

 

 

3.        Should Citizens for Common Sense endorse a candidate for Congressional District 2?

Jackie Walorski - 63%    Jack Jordan - 0%    Joe Donnelly - 7%*    Do not do an endorsement - 30%

 

 

* tallied before the healthcare vote

 

Therefore, even though Citizens for Common Sense historically does not do endorsements,

 because it was expressed by our supporters by a 2:1 margin that we have a once-in-a-decade candidate who shares our views and fights side by side with us, we hereby endorse

Jackie Walorski

for Congress

 

 

Jackie’s stood with us, so WE STAND WITH JACKIE!
