State Police Schedule Sobriety Checkpoint for Vanderburgh County
Vanderburgh County - Sometime during this upcoming weekend, Indiana State Police, Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department and Evansville Police will be conducting a sobriety checkpoint in Vanderburgh County. The exact location, date and time will not be released. Motorists that are not impaired can expect only short delays of 2-3 minutes while passing through the checkpoint.
Netherlands -- YouTube enthusiasts recently posted libertarian limericks for everyone's amusement. Try your hand at your own and email the LPIN at news@lpin.org.
CYBERSPACE, US -- Hey ladies, tired of talking politics with middle-aged guys with bad haircuts? Ms. Libby Belle agrees. The online figure believes so much that image can help spur a political movement to success that she <?> has started Libertarian Hotties.
Libby Belle states the interest in forming the online community included using attractive pictorials of libertarian women to draw more support, while dispelling the "young white male with a bad haircut" image the party has long hosted.
ELKHART, IN -- Michiana Grassroots United, formerly the Michiana Ron Paul Group, will be meeting at the Elkhart Public Library to watch a public viewing of Washington, You're Fired, a documentary that puts the U.S. Constitution firmly in the spotlight and gives the term "clean-up" a new perspective.
The documentary takes a disturbing look at the last seven years of fundamentally flawed terror-related spy bills; show you how they collectively and negatively impact your civil liberties, and show you how to correct the problem from within your own local government. For instance, almost 500 cities, counties, and states, have enacted localized anti-PATRIOT Act legislation. You could be the next person to lead your community one step closer to the Constitution.
The movie will show at 6:00 p.m. (ET). RSVP at the Elkhart Meetup
The mission of The Future of Freedom Foundation is to advance freedom by providing an uncompromising moral and economic case for individual liberty, free markets, private property, and limited government.
Most Americans have settled somnolently into the view that whatever laws are passed are all right because they’re the product of democracy. To be sure, there are small factions that are heard to argue, “The government has no business doing that!” with respect to issues that adversely affect them, but few people express opposition in principle to the vast array of authoritarian nanny-state enactments we get from federal, state, and local politicians.
INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- While a picture says a thousand words, a political cartoon can say something a thousand ways.
The VarvBlog of The Indianapolis Star shows the latest in a long history of award-winning images created by Gary Varvel.
True fans of the political art can look for the next location of the exhibit, The Golden Age of American Political Cartoons. The collection of political cartoons, detailing the biggest names in the industry's history was on display recently at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Ohio.
In Indiana, Libertarians have made in-roads into being featured in these cartoons. The LaPorte Herald Argus published the following cartoon during a key election year as the local libertarian made in-roads while frustrating big-spending Republican and Democrat leadership.
INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- When Ed McMahon and his wife, Pamela, appeared on the Larry King Live show this past week, he made the case that coming forward with his mortgage foreclosure was his effort to speak on behalf of the millions of Americans suffering from a similar fate.
Libertarians trying to live within their means across the state are not buying the octogenarian's sad story. Instead, his story is meeting with vocal anger at his own mismanagement and expectation that government can help him out of his bind.
"Unfortunately, most of us don't get the opportunity to live in a $4.6 million home in Beverly Hills," claims Jerra Barnes, libertarian activist from LaPorte County. "It's simply not the government's place to bail out such poor decisions -- especially ones as calculating as Mr. McMahon's. He has options. LaPorte, Indiana, is pretty affordable. I'm sure he can leave his house and find something similar to the people he's claiming to represent."
The 1994 Society is the heart and soul of the LPIN's continued existence. Begun in the late 1990's to sustain the LPIN's presence in Indiana's political landscape, the Society represents monthly donors to the party.
