Coward’s Way Out!

It sure appears the Indiana State Senate has taken the coward’s way out. Senator Pro Tem Rodric Bray has announced the Indiana Senate will not take up the Indiana Redistricting matter as was expected. This means voters of Indiana will not know what Senators were in favor of redistricting in Indiana more in favor of Republicans and those who were not. Frankly, this is outrageous. Indiana voters have a right to know.

Clearly, with 7 0f 9 Indiana Congressional districts being represented by Republicans, Indiana is considered a highly “Red” state; one heavily Republican. This, too, is clearly the case in the Indiana General Assembly where Republicans hold a super majority in both houses. So, what is the situation inside the State of Indiana is not the issue. The issue is what is happening at the federal level; the United States of America as a country level.

All over the country, Democrats are engaged in redistricting to increase their numbers in the U.S. House of Representatives. They have been doing this for years and continue the practice. The goal is to flip control of the US House of Representatives from now narrow Republican control to Democrat control. Control of the House by Democrats would be a disaster for the country and would totally block President Trump and MAGA goals which are now working very well. Even a flip to Democrat control would likely result in the impeachment proceedings being leveled at President Trump.

Republicans in Indiana can remain on the “high and mighty” course and not pursue redistricting. This involves two Congressional seats if flipped from Democrat to Republican means actually a four seat swing to Republicans. This could well mean the difference between a Republican verses a Democrat controlled US Congress. It could mean the difference between a positive path for our country and a very negative, destructive one.

The now two Democrat seats in Indiana are one in northwest Indiana and one in the Indianapolis area. The one in northwest Indiana is trending toward Republican anyway. The one on the Indianapolis area has a Democrat representative that is aligning himself with the extreme left wing of the Democrat Party: the AOC, Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani wing.

It is time to step up with a vote in the Indiana Senate. Voters have a right to know who will vote which way. They have a right to know who to hold responsible for the future of our nation. It is that serious. Indiana needs to lead the way openly and not the coward’s way.
