Why Hoosier Universities Need a Forensic Audit -- Now!!!
If the State Legislature actually audited Purdue Calumet they would find that the institution is very likely being used as a way to funnel public money, taxpayer and student tuition, to politicians and administrators. It is the new way of "partaking" in public funds that has been discovered by the "locals." This is especially lucrative when property taxes and gambling... Continue reading

Why Hoosier Universities Need a Forensic Audit -- Now!!!
When I addressed the Indiana House Ways and Means Committee yesterday (speaking for all tax paying Hoosier citizens), I asked for a forensic audit of all universities in Indiana that receive our tax payer money.

Not a single person on the committee had any idea what any money that is used by the universities, billions and billions of dollars, goes to. This is true of the 1% increase and... Continue reading

David L. Ober Wins State Representative in Indiana's 82nd District
With the National Constitutional disaster that was the re-election of the Obama anti-Constitutional team, it was a really refreshing experience to find out that David Ober won, as a principled Constitutionalist, for the State House in Indiana. With the Republican control of both Houses in the great State of Indiana going to Republicans, this State may be the best remaining bastion for Constituional education, business, and freedom. via speakingtruthtopower.blogs.com Continue reading

(Nor does it promote Hoosier... Continue reading
