Vote reminder: if you’re a resident of the 5th Congressional District of Indiana, get out to the primary on May 6th and vote for Dan Burton in the Republican Primary.

If you’re a voter who is often motivated by gun rights and the right to keep and bear arms, then you should have a look at Dan’s strong track record on 2nd Amendment issues, as well as his “A” rating by the NRA, unlike his opponent who is associated with anti-gun groups.

I had a couple of readers email me and ask me why I’m getting so pumped up over this primary, and the 5th District campaign in general.  There are a couple of reasons, the primary one being that with the possibility of an extremely anti-gun president we need all the strong pro-gun members of congress possible.  Secondly, I’m fired up over it because the 5th District is where I live, it’s my home; and I’ll be damned if I’m not going to do everything I can to ensure that my representative actually represents me and my interests.

So that’s about it – get out and vote on May 6th.  Not sure where to go to cast your ballot in the primary?  Click on this link to find your Indiana polling place.  I’m glad I did that, because mine has changed from the last election.  I’ll be at Christ the Savior Lutheran Church, on 126th St, sometime in the early-ass morning on May 6th.

The most recent data is showing Hillary way out in front of Obamessiah with something like a 10% lead in the polls.

I’m almost surprised at how big her lead is, since something like 25% of Indiana is in Chicago’s media area (they get Chicago TV stations as their “local” channels), so you’d think that Obama might have a better chance of carrying this state than he did in other “traditional” Democrat states.

Honestly, my gut feeling is that this Reverend Wright thing is really hurting Obama here in Indiana.   Shockingly enough, Hoosiers don’t like to be told that we’re all a bunch of racists – that sort of thing doesn’t usually play very well.

As you know, I have enthusiastically endorsed Dan Burton in the 5th District Primary for our open Congressional seat.  A large part of that endorsement was Congressman Burton’s “A” rating from NRA, as well as Dr. McGoff’s involvement with various anti-gun groups.  I had emailed the campaign of Dr. McGoff about his interaction with the said anti-gun groups, and in the interest of full disclosure, I’m going to run the reply I received from his campaign manager.

John was never a formal member of the Indiana Partnership to Prevent Firearm Violence.  The extent of his involvement, as I understand it, is that while he was Marion County Coroner, the group would use documents from his office on deaths in Marion County to do their reports, but those were public documents that he could not refuse them.  To insinuate from that—which was his public duty as coroner—that he is a member of the group is overreaching.

John is a member of the NRA, and has been trained and certified to use an M16, .38, .45 and M9, and has had familiarization training on a 50 caliber weapon during the course of his 26 year military career (he is still serving as a full colonel in the Air National Guard).

I do appreciate the clarification, however this does not affect my vote.  Dan Burton has in the past clearly demonstrated himself as a friend and advocate of law-abiding gun owners, and despite any emails or comments from a campaign manager, Dr. McGoff’s level of involvement with the Indiana Partnership is still an open question to me.

I am still supporting Dan Burton in the 5th District Republican primary, and I encourage Hoosier voters residing in this district to get out and vote for Congressman Burton on May 6th in our primary.
