Recently, national Republicans have attacked Brendan Mullen. They’ve distorted his biography in an attempt to confuse voters about who he is. Their attacks are simply not true and a symptom of the negativity that is permeating the current Republican Party.
Brendan Mullen grew up in South Bend and attended Adams High School, where he earned a football scholarship to West Point.
Brendan went on to serve his country in Iraq and when he left the military helped start and run, as the chief operating officer, a national and international security services firm that grew to over 110 employees.
In 2008 Mullen opened and started MKS2 LLC, a strategic planning, strategic communication, and information technology consulting firm that employs workers in Indiana and six other states.
Bright, successful people with broad experiences who employ Hoosier workers and are raising Hoosier families are exactly who we should want representing us in Congress.
Brendan has been accused of being a Washington insider. We cannot forget what took him all over the world, including our nation’s capital — his service in the United States Army.
Brendan chose to come back to Indiana and as a small business owner he faces the same problems many of us face at this time: the economic slow down, the need to make payroll, and all the other tribulations that face middle class business owners and families in this economy.
He is not a career politician like his most likely Republican opponent, Jackie Walorski, who has been running for office the last decade. Brendan is a veteran, a family man and a job creator. I hope people look past the negativity and distortions that national Republicans are throwing at Brendan and support this intelligent leader who is exactly the type of Hoosier we need in Congress.

Remember the amnesty law of ’86?
The “Gang of Eight” U.S. Senate members have drafted an immigration bill that’s worse then the amnesty bill signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1986. S. 744 gives those here illegally instant Registered Provisional Immigrant status, which means they are free from being deported if they register for amnesty.

Don’t ignore signs of someone contemplating suicide
Everyone has issues that they have to deal with in their lives. It’s when we become overwhelmed and our issues become so drastic that they are unbearable that the results can be catastrophic. Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?
