We easily outnumbered the anti-reform protesters. Throughout out the month of August, we plan on attending townhalls and letting the public and Indiana legislators know that Hoosiers want health care reform this year. And we won't let orchestrated fringe folks dissuade our campaign. The people of Indiana will continue to raise their voice for change.

The Indianapolis Star reported that the President came to Wakarusa to announce stimulus measures that will bring much needed jobs to this small community just outside Elkhart. President Obama chose to make his announcement at the Navistar plant in Wakarusa were he said that $2.4 billion in stimulus funds will help Hoosiers build new electric cars and create thousands of new jobs.
