MEET THE CANDIDATES
Although those who are involved in the democrat quest for the Presidency have made many appearances in Indiana. This is, mercifully, not about any of them. Why would Linden want to detract from your enjoyment of Spring by telling you of their plans to raise your taxes and to surrender in the war on terror. No, this posting is just about Linden's world.

He, after a really almost totally sleepless night, attended the monthly GOP Roundtable breakfast meeting. Good food, good company and a good speaker. Connie Lawson, our State Senator spoke mostly about how comparatively blessed we are in Indiana compared with the surrounding States. The leadership of Governor Daniels has paid real dividends in several areas and fallen short in a relatively few. She also touched upon some of the changes that will affect local government. The end result will be that the job Linden seeks, the County Council, will become more difficult than it has been in the past.

On the way home, Linden stopped to make a small donation and memorial gift, in Rubye's name,
to the Hendricks County Community Foundation. Deedee has been a very effective executive director of this effort for several years and now plans on stepping down at the end of the year. She will be missed. She and Linden had a good visit and then he was home whining about how lack of sleep was adversely affecting his day.

In the evening, the Greater Guilford Township Civic Association hosted, from 6:00 to 9:00, their annual "Meet The Candidates" event. It, as usual, was well attended and managed. Those candidates who are unopposed were introduced and those, including Linden, who are opposed, were given the opportunity to say a few words and, within a grouped setting, answer a few questions. It is a nice public service they provide.

There were few tasks performed after Linden returned home. He does not function well without adequate sleep. So, he was soon in bed wondering while he did not immediately nod off.

HELP WANTED

It appears that in the last general election there were no Republican candidates in 39 districts scattered across 15 states. These positions offer much more than just good pay. Some of these districts are listed below in State, District and general location sequence. Please help find a Republican candidate in these districts. Even if these districts can reasonably be considered “lost causes,” the effected taxpayers need to have a choice.

Illinois 12 East St. Louis – One Found?

Massachusetts 1 Berkshire, Hampden, Hampshire and other Counties
Massachusetts 2 Springfield area
Massachusetts 3 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 4 Bristol area – One Found?
Massachusetts 5 Essex, Middlesex and Worcester Counties
Massachusetts 7 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties
Massachusetts 8 Middlesex and Suffolk Counties

In recent ratings, the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste considered 32 of the present officeholders (democrats) to be hostile, 6 unfriendly, and 1 lukewarm to taxpayers. The National Taxpayers Union granted a grade of “F” to 36 of this group while 3 of them rose to a “D”.

WHAT IF?

Surely you believe that the liberal dominated news media is very, very selective in what “news” they will print or report. Have you noticed the absence of reporting about the improved situation in Iraq? There are, of course, other examples but Linden will assume that you can think. WHAT IF, you complained to the lackluster “news” provider and, if satisfaction is not obtained you then call those who advertise in that medium? Your message could be something like: “ I am disappointed that you choose to advertise in or on …. Who will not report…. Perhaps this approach would pay dividends in the form of less biased news coverage.
