When legislators deliberately defy the laws of the state and they are not enforced by the state, you have anarchy. Our form of government cannot operate in anarchy. It is the DUTY of the Governor to maintain order. The legislators who left the floor of the Indiana House yesterday are in direct violation of Part IV A. Rule 36:
PART IV. RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF MEMBERS
A. GENERALLY
A. GENERALLY
36. Attendance. No member shall be absent from the service of the
House unless excused by the Speaker, is sick or is unable to attend.
House unless excused by the Speaker, is sick or is unable to attend.
They represent all their constituents not just the ones who agree with them. They are doing a disservice to their constituents and their state by not debating and voting on the legislation. This is the job that they are paid to do.
OUR Country, OUR State needs someone with the fortitude to stand up for the people. Governor Daniels needs to act on this matter and show the country he does have the strength of leadership needed to guide Indiana through these trying times. We will support candidates in the future who show leadership.
CALL or EMAIL these offices and express your opinion!
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE BRIAN BOSMA: (800)382-9841, h88@IN.gov
SHOW UP
The Indianapolis Tea Party will be holding a Flash Protest Rally on Friday, February 25, from 12 (Noon) to 1:00 PM EST, at the Indiana Statehouse. Meet on the East side (Capitol Street).
From the Indianapolis Tea Party: If your groups can come, we would love to have you join us. We know the distance is far for some of the groups. So, if you cannot come but have Reps in your district that aren't showing up for work at the Statehouse, we would encourage you to hold a protest rally outside their district offices. Also, we would encourage your members to contact both Governor Daniel's and Speaker of the House Brian Bosma's offices to voice their opinions.
Any questions, email: info@indianapolisteaparty.com.
