I call upon Joe Hogsett to resign as head of the IDP

[BiggJawn]

OK, disclaimer:
Joe, Carter ate your lunch AND your afternoon snack with the "Do Not Call List". I voted for him, but that's not the only reason why.

You ran a shitty campaign in this state. Our home-grown version of Ken Lay completely torpedoes a sitting governor. A Fundy nut-case in Northern Indiana who wanted to nuke Afganistan, and ANOTHER one in Terre Haute who is a WEAPONS OFFENDER and claims women wouldn't get breast cancer if they didn't "kill their babies" win re-election against viable candidates.

Baron Hill gets tarred with thew "liberal" brush, and we should be happy because Evan "DINO" Bayh got re-elected and Joe Micon squeaked past West Lafayette's "Lord of the Slums"?

My girlfriend and I REPEATEDLY attempted to make contact with the White County democrats, and even button-holed candidates at a festival, volunteering our help, and did we get called? Hell, No, we didn't. My friend's mom and sister went to help the party over in Clinton county, and they sat around on election day for 2 hours totally ignored. they got disgusted and went home.

Why don't you give up? You're nothing more than a figure head, Hell, I think my fucking GOLDFISH could do a better job!

1. Hogsett is not IDP chair... Kip Tew is

Don't know if it will do any good but find out who the Congressional District Chair for your area and let him know that you tried volunteering and they ignored you.

Giving Cold Calls the Cold Shoulder

2006 you can run for precinct committee person in your precinct. First find out if anyone is there. If not good. If there is then you need to find out how many voted for the person to determine how many votes you need to win. Then do a little campaigning in your precinct.

On the "Do Not Call" list... Joe should had called Carter out on his lie about it. Carter did not create that legislation. He is only the Attorney General. Dale Sturtz was the author of that legislation.



Indiana recently passed the toughest anti-telemarketing measures in the country, becoming the 23rd state to enact such laws after Florida pioneered them in 1998. And more states are jumping on the bandwagon. "Do Not Call" laws, in various forms, are now being considered in every other state legislature.

Florida had acted to protect senior citizens from fraud. But now the motivation is privacy. Indiana's strict law allows citizens to place themselves on a master "Do Not Call" list; companies that violate it face a $25,000 fine. "A local newspaper poll showed that telemarketing was the No. 2 annoyance to our citizens," says Dale Sturtz, the Indiana law's sponsor. "Taxes were No. 1."

The Direct Marketing Assn., which represents the country's 5,000 telemarketers, maintains its own nationwide "Do Not Call" list with more than 3.5 million names. It opposes strict state measures, citing federal laws. But those only partially restrict telemarketers. Even if you tell one company not to call you, thousands of others can. Says Sturtz: "Years ago, when we had door-to-door salesmen, you could...get a `Beware of Dog' sign." Call the new laws the modern-day equivalent.

2. Thanks for the info.

I'll find out which nursing home my Committee person lives in.

I'm not fooling. My girlfriend and I went to a Democratic fundraiser in Monticello this summer, and we were the youngest people there. And my girlfriend belongs to AARP, so how whacked is THAT?

And thanks for the correction on the Do Not Call list. That's not the only reason I didn't vote for Joe, though.
