Our Revolt's Internet Angel, Claudia

We have a champion patriot linking Indiana's REVOLT throughout the Internet. Her name is Claudia. Because of her effort alone, our unique readers increased more than 100% today alone.

We need more help! The more Indiana's Revolt is linked, the more likely we will be picked up by national media. With purpose, we do not plan to issue press releases to the media until the weekend before Revolt! In the meantime, we need YOU to continue to carry the torch and create a huge buzz until we officially send our press release to the media.

The activists behind this project have worked together for nearly two solid years. We are informally known as The Justice League. Our tax protests have generated as many as 500 to 1000 well informed taxpayers. We've been in every major newspaper and television news channel in Indiana and on national television and print.

We are confident that we are doing the right things to bring that number again. However, those numbers are no longer as effective. Our legislators don't think we are serious about making them behave.

We need a "loaves and fishes miracle".

In order to control our government and return our country to our Constitutions, our citizenry must understand that the work before us is to make the necessary sacrifices to collectively organize multiple protests with thousands of people.

I'm sorry that it is a huge sacrifice of time and energy. But it is the only way we will save this greatest of experiments in Liberty known as America.

The text below (with our graphic if possible) is what to link everywhere on the net:

A REVOLT Is Coming To The Indiana State House!

March 25th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Inside The Indiana State House
REVOLT AT THE STATE HOUSE

This non-partisan event is being publicized to all corners of the state by a network of tax and policy activists who led the 2007 Property Tax Protests and The Indiana Tea Party.

Our ranks have grown much larger in two years.

Experts will speak candidly at the event on all subjects of concern to The People, such as Education Spending, Cronyism, Corporate Welfare, Property Tax, and those shameful politicians who put party and corporate lobbyist demands before the needs of their citizen employers.

Be warned. Our experts will shock you with their first hand knowledge of the greed and arrogance of many of our government officials.

The theme of our revolt is "TRANSPARENCY".

Santorini Greek Kitchen to Host Post Revolt Luncheon - RSVP early

Food, Fellowship & Networking


We arranged the lovely buffet described below at one of my favorite locally owned fixtures in the downtown historic district of Fountain Square, Santorini Greek Kitchen. It is hard to decide which is best at Santorini's, the authentic country Greek cuisine or the hospitality lavished upon you from the uber cool staff and owners.

We recommend you walk off your luncheon after the event and visit some of the quaint local businesses in Indy's Historic Cultural District of Fountain Square.

Taxpayer Groups: Reserve Your Free Table for the REVOLT

We just confirmed that we can have tables at the event and are making them available to groups around the state.

You would need to reserve a table right away as we don't have unlimited space. We ask that groups provide:

1. A Banner with your groups' name/message to stretch across a 6 foot table
2. Well informed staff at your table during the entire 1.5 hour event
3. Literature and/or giveaways for the audience

Be your own press!
This is a great opportunity to type up literature for distribution that details the abuses of politicians in your community that don't seem to get air in your local newspaper.

To reserve a table email: statehouserevolt@gmail.com

Pay to Play with Taxpayer Dollars in Indiana

Advance Indiana dedicated countless hours to helping Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard's achieve his upset victory over incumbent Bart Peterson. Yesterday Gary Welsh, editor of Advance Indiana, penned a column that connects the dots of who is paying how much to play in Ballard's new playground and what they get in return. Nothing has changed. Wouldn't be so bad, but the political outsider, Ballard, promised sweeping changes. More than a year later, his campaign coffers enriched, he allows the same scenario.

The same scenario plays out where you live too. It's corrupt. And it won't change unless we DO something about it. Be sure you take time off to join the rally on March 25th.

In the meantime write to us about the corruption in YOUR Indiana city and we'll publish it here.

Pay To Play Is The Ballard Way
"Taxpayers are being asked to pay for hundreds of millions of dollars in government spending ranging from huge construction projects to outside personal contracts," GOP mayoral candidate Greg Ballard told voters in 2007. "But there are virtually no rules governing the conduct of business or local government in such dealings," he added.

Candidate Ballard promised a series of ethics reforms to provide greater transparency and to protect the public interest, including: requiring persons who lobby city government to register with the city and report any lobbying expenses they make, including any entertainment or item of value they provide to elected officials and public employees; barring lobbyists or other persons with a financial interest from serving on any commission or board that directly affects or deals with their lobbying or financial interests; establishing a code of conduct for city employees which bars them from soliciting contributions from individual firms which do business with the city.
requiring statement of economic interests filed by public officials to be made publicly available online; and requiring campaign finance reports be made publicly available online.


A year later, many of those promises remain unfulfilled. Read the rest here.

Indianapolis is Broke

Watch this video and understand the same problems are happening in cities across Indiana and America. Insider politics (cronyism) and greed is the cancer killing America and it must be stopped.
