Greensburg —
Dear Editor:
For the past 36 years my great state of Indiana has decided to reward
Richard Lugar with the honor of being one of our state Senators.
The time has come for Lugar to say good-bye, there is a now a true conservative voice and his name is Richard Mourdock.
In 2007, Mourdock was voted into office to serve as the State Treasurer and in 2010 was asked by the State Committee to run for the United States Senate.
Mourdock strongly opposes "earmarks" and believes that this non-transparent process of adding often wasteful pork-barrel spending to the federal budget prevents a meaningful debate while making Congress susceptible to corruption.
Senator Lugar, on the other hand, has consistently voted against removing "earmarks" or even simply reforming this corrupt system of our government.
Lugar also voted for Obama's TARP financial bailout, which increased our
national debt to $11.3 trillion and did nothing to help the recession.
Mourdock understands that the TARP bailout is just another scam for elected bureaucrats to shift the control of the economy towards the
Federal government.
Additionally Lugar voted to bailout General Motors and Chrysler with tax payer dollars, while Mourdock opposed the taxpayer bailout which ultimately ended up costing Indiana pensioners millions of their own dollars.
Side by side, these two individuals are on two sides of the spectrum.
In 2012, Hoosiers have the option of voting for a long-term Washington
establishment Senator or voting for a conservative individual that stands
by his ideas and beliefs of limited government, lower taxes and more
individual freedom.
Charlla Burton,
Greensburg

Who's the real extremist? Donnelly or Mourdock?
Dear Editor:
Extremist?
That is a catch word used by Joe Donnelly to describe Richard Mourdock. Donnelly, like President Obama, cannot run on his failed record Ñ and failed it did! -
Goin' down the road, feelin' bad...
Dear Editor,
I'm no "Roads Scholar," but it's time for me to express my displeasure with our highways being repaved using the simply awful chip and seal method. -
Memory loss and politics
Dear Editor,
There is a profession for people who not only hope, but absolutely depend on people to have memory loss. -
CASA's still needed
Dear Editor,
Two hundred.
That's how many local children have been the victims of abuse or neglect but currently sit on our waiting list at Advocates for Children, without a Court Appoint Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer to stand by their side as they navigate the child welfare system alone. -
Vectren energy delivery problems
Dear Editor:
Is it just me, or is Vectren Energy Delivery the most unresponsive, uncaring, corporation known to man? -
Motorists beware: Sweet grandmothers can kill you
Dear Editor,
At about 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30, I stopped for a red light at the intersection of South Main and Water Street in Rushville. -
What's in a (team) name?
Dear Editor,
Even though we achieved independence from Great Britain two centuries and change back, many Americans still harbor feelings of Anglophilia.
They consider customs "British" or "English" to be superior to those of upstart Americans. -
What about guns?
Dear Editor,
The national controversy over gun ownership and the desirability of laws regulating gun ownership continues unabated; indeed, it is exacerbated each time some crazy goes on a shooting rampage. -
More on the Batman shooter, comic debate
Dear Editor,
I'm not na•ve enough to think that I was going to change Mr. Voiles' mind when it comes to comic book culture and how it is perceived in wake of the Aurora shooting, but at the very least I was hoping for him to see my point of view (which is a point of view shared by many people, I've come to find out). -
