DECISION MAKING
For maybe a couple of weeks Linden has been considering the possibility of throwing his hat into the field of the already crowded race for the 4th Indiana District Congressional race. The decision needs to be made before Friday. He would very much like to see how inexpensively a campaign could be launched – this could encourage new candidates across the nation.

But, with voter dissatisfaction being what it is, it may be possible, although highly unlikely, that he would win. Although he could almost certainly serve with no less distinction than that of many current members of Congress. That is also true of millions of ordinary taxpayers.

Although the pay is quite good and sufficient staff is provided to help address any problem, the actual serving is something that Linden does not find particularly appealing at this time of his life. After all, he is of the age of Moses when he went into Egypt to save the Israelites.

If Linden should decide to run and if he should win, his intention would be to focus on excessive spending, excessive taxation of both individuals and business, the insane budgeting process, to not support any overly long bill, to not support any bill that is being rushed through the process, and to attempt to effect change in campaign financing to cause leftover campaign funds be used to reduce the national debt shortly after each general election. Linden finds the report that Senator Bayh has 13 millions dollars in his campaign fund to be more than a little disgusting! Oops, Linden forgot to mention that he would not accept any pre primary contributions.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Friday brought Men’s Prayer Breakfast at 6:00. Later, Kent and I went to Danville to file as candidates for election to be Delegates to the Republican State Convention. I’ve been elected Delegate probably 15 times and this may be the last time I run.
Saturday, had a writers group meeting and watched Butler basketball.
Sunday brought morning church services, Sunday school, and evening church services.

GOOD WORKS
Thanks to those who purchased books or a CD or donated to the effort, we were able in 2009 to provide, through IDES, two goats, a water buffalo, and a fishing boat with net to needy families in third world countries.

In 2010 we will diversify this area of our good works. New recipients are:

January, TCM, Austria, ministry scholarship. http://www.tcmi.org/
February, local need, not part of original plan.
February, Hillsdale College. www.hillsdale.edu

The Book Nook, 33 E. Main, Mooresville is a local source of Linden’s books and CD.

Feel free to make others aware of this blog and our efforts.
