Carlin Yoder is best candidate for Senate

Since the Republican nominee for president has already been decided, I believe that many Hoosiers are asking themselves the question, “Does it really matter if I vote in the upcoming primary election?”

There are even those suggesting that we jump party lines and cast a Democratic ballot so that party will continue to be in chaos by not knowing who their nominee will be. This may seem like a bit of fun, however, we need to examine the idea closer, as it could have some unintended consequences.

There are other important races in this primary, and if too many of us join “Operation Chaos,” we could end up with local and state representation that doesn’t represent our values.

This is why I have decided to support Carlin Yoder in his run for the Republican nomination for state Senate. Carlin is a man of integrity, a man of action and a man of responsibility, and I am convinced that he will represent my values.

As a small business owner, I am convinced that Carlin Yoder will represent what I value in business by encouraging innovation and business growth by limiting taxation and government control.

As a father, I am convinced that Carlin Yoder’s experience in education will contribute to improved education for my children as well as for all Hoosiers.

As a fiscal conservative, I am convinced that Carlin Yoder will work to encourage strong economic growth by cutting taxes and taking responsibility by eliminating wasteful government spending.

I am convinced that Carlin Yoder is the best candidate to represent the people of state Senate District 12, and I hope that you will join with me in supporting Carlin Yoder by voting for him on the Republican ballot in the upcoming primary election.

Goshen sidewalk crowding is the new cruising
I’m writing in response to the article in The Goshen News (May 16), entitled “Way Paved for Sidewalk Ordinance.” To recap quickly: The older people (business owners, the Establishment, “The Man”, the 1 percent) in Goshen don’t like the younger people crowding the sidewalk during First Fridays.

A 'compassionate conservative?'
You’ve all heard the term “compassionate conservative” used by liberals. They called George W. Bush a compassionate conservative, among other things. Have you ever noticed how liberals love to label people?

Partisanship OK in Congress, but not in other elected offices
During the primary election season there was much discussion regarding whether bipartisanship is a positive or negative attribute as it relates to the work of the United States Congress. When I speak to students, I often mention the vital role of partisanship within the legislative branch of government.

Why not just close Main Street?
I thought Goshen spent millions of dollars just a few years ago to widen and increase Third Street to two-way traffic and make Fifth Street a two-way street so that traffic flow on Main Street would be greatly reduced. So, why can’t the Goshen City Council address the problem of the number of people at First Fridays by closing the downtown section of Main Street for one afternoon/evening per month and allowing people to congregate on the street?

Sponsors help First Fridays thrive
Last month, more than 150 volunteers, 30 city staff members, and 16 sponsors donated time, talent and treasure to make the event a success. First Fridays simply would not exist without the good will and hard work of many individuals coming together.

Proving Rush Limbaugh wrong?
We can confirm that President Obama has officially broken Rush Limbaugh’s heart by achieving the success that Rush wished against. Remember after the 2008 election when Rush famously hoped our new president would not be successful? Well the evidence is insurmountable that Mr. Obama has gotten the best of Rush.

Mourdock is bought and paid for
It is sad to watch, but once again the Tea Party has been duped by big business and banks into supporting causes and people who will do harm to the rank and file in the Tea Party.

America cannot afford another Republican president
Remember 2001 and how President George W. Bush inherited the biggest federal surplus in postwar history? The Congressional Budget Office even projected the federal government would be debt-free by 2009. The country was in terrific fiscal shape to deal with any crises or emergencies in the future, even ready to handle the retirement of the Baby Boom generation.
