Hundreds come for Delphi town hall

Donnelly hears mixed views from his district

Yes, the great undecided came to Delphi!  Over all it was a good meeting with lots of comments and questions from both sides of the issue and the congressmen did an outstanding job in not taking a position:) If you watch the WLFI video above you will notice the huge signs just outside the fire station; they failed to mention that those “Community Organizers” were from OHIO (I watched them load up their van with Ohio plates – think they would be smart enough to rent a car with Indiana plates)!! And yes they got to make comments and ask questions – surprisingly they were for government run Healthcare:) The Good news –  local Patriots were there and got to express their views to which the congressmen paid attention. I had some technical issues downloading the video last night, but hope to get that resolved tonight and have them posted by tomorrow.

By the end of the convention over, 668 demonstrators had been arrested and many Americans were stunned by the images of armed conflict in the streets. Name the location of the 1968 Democratic National Convention.

This week’s prize is the DVD “Genesis:Today’s Answer to Racism” with Carl Kerby

In 1748 this founding father started the newspaper “The Public Advertiser”, which quickly became the leading outlet for anti-Parliamentary sentiment in Boston. He dedicated the paper to the pursuit of liberty, to which he himself was its fiercest defender. He is quoted as saying the following: “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom – go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and May posterity forget that you were our countrymen” … and “If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslaved. This will be their great Security”. Name this Founding Father.
