Left in Aboite endorses Barry Welsh for Indiana's 6th District

Left in Aboite supported Barry Welsh's run for Indiana's 6th Congressional seat during the last election cycle, and we heartily endorse him once again for 2008. In 2006, Barry received 40 percent of the vote in the general election, which reflected a 12% increase from the previous candidate’s campaign against Congressman "Iraq is just like an outdoor market in Indiana in the summertime" Mike Pence.

Not only has Barry picked up name recognition and attention from that 2006 race, but, more importantly, so has Pence. Thanks to Pence and his buddy Joe LIEberman, Indiana has once again become the butt of many jokes:



We need REAL Hoosiers like Barry Welsh to replace the tarnished images of our state that were created by such buffoons as Mike Pence, Dan Quayle, and Mark Souder.

Unlike the three "Bush Dog Democrats" who added seats, but no teeth, to Indiana's congressional make-up with their 2006 wins, Barry's the "real deal". He'll fight to bring our troops home from Iraq, work for honest leadership and real government and national security, push for energy independence, health care for all Americans, retirement security, and economic prosperity and educational excellence!

Far too many Democrats have cowered and caved in to the Bush administration. They missed the message that the electorate sent to them last November:

"This country is on the WRONG track - we vote to send you to Washington to represent our concerns and force a change in course."

Barry Welsh HAS heard your message and he will put your opinion before his future re-election concerns. I hope that you will support him so that YOUR voice will be heard in east-central Indiana!
