Will that lesson be one of limiting access, participation, and exci...

Monroe County Democratic Party Baron Hill wrote a guest column for the Indiana Daily Student, focusing on satellite voting.
This helped make IU students feel more like a part of the community in the town that they will call home for four years. It gave them a sense of ownership and belonging in their community that is vital to all vibrant towns.
Monroe County Democratic Party The Indiana Daily Student profiles former Bloomington Mayor John Fernandez.
You can take the man out of Bloomington, but you can’t take the Bloomington out of the man. At least this is true for John Fernandez, the Bloomington mayor from 1996 to 2003, who now lives in Washington, D.C. and works for the Obama administration.

Monroe County Democratic Party From President Obama's weekly address for Labor Day weekend: "We didn't become the most properous country in the world by rewarding greed and recklessness. We did it by rewarding hard work and responsibility. We did it by recognizing that we rise or fall as one nation, one people, all of us vested in one another."
The President talks about his fight to make America work for the middle class and make sure hard work is rewarded -- rather than greed and recklessness.

Monroe County Democratic Party Herald Times editorial on satellite voting cuts to the heart of the matter: for the local GOP leadership, "Political considerations trump convenience for voters."
Even though there is no hard evidence to prove his supposition, his stance leaves no room for speculation. Political considerations trump convenience for voters.

Monroe County Democratic Party Just because there's no Presidential candidates on the ballot doesn't mean this election is unimportant. Hoosiers will vote for a new US Senator and send Representatives to Congress. We'll decided whether we want to amend our state's Constitution and fund our schools. We'll choose state legislators who will work on red...istricting. And we'll vote on County & Township offices that decide how our tax dollars are spent.
This year's elections offer a stark choice between Democrats who are moving our country forward, and Republicans who want to return to the failed policies of the past. We can't afford to go backward, and moving forward starts with your own promise to cast your ballot.

SBA Administrator Karen Mills writes on the White House blog about the small business bill currently being help up in the Senate: "Demand for these Recovery loans has been so great, however, that, in
May, SBA once again ran out of funds to support them. The Small Business
Jobs Act before the Senate that Sen. McConnell ...is referring to will
extend these loans again, and we have more than 1,000 small businesses
on a 'stand-by' list waiting for the bill to pass."
I was surprised to hear Minority Leader Mitch McConnell say he believes the Small Business Jobs Act currently before the Senate is “a little itty-bitty small business bill that no one thinks will have much of an impact on the economy.” In fact, I would encourage him to go on the road with me to plac...
Monroe County Democratic Party The local Republican party chair says that he opposes satellite voting because it doesn't help his candidates, and promises that he'll screen his appointees to the Election Board on whether they will oppose satellite voting. But satellite voting is about participation for all voters, regardless of political affiliation. http://monroedems.org/node/225
