Fail. Only around 50 Obama-endorsed #Occupy protesters turned out to protest the Super Bowl in Indianapolis.
They were heckled by spectators who told them, “Get a job!”

Big Labor Bosses Demonstrate Why Right-to-Work Is Necessary
Shame on Big Labor Bosses! For years they have used the tactic of “shame” in an effort to pressure, bully and demonize employers who might stand against their efforts. They have used “shame” in their efforts to misinform the public – to create a misperception that their target is guilty of an unconscionable act and should bear the scarlet letter of these acts. These attacks have been not just against the targeted employer, but against anyone who might oppose them, including the employer’s customers and advertisers, non-union employees,

Big Labor Plans Super Bowl Chaos
On Wednesday, after Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels signed into the Right To Work law, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow squirmed in her chair with excitement as she showed the Super Bowl Village being invaded by Big Labor activists.
Rather than seeing the Super Bowl as a big event for Indiana, Maddow’s guest, Indiana State Rep. Scott Pelath, sees it as a “national platform” for Big Labor “education” through disruption.
Indiana AFL-CIO union boss Nancy Guyott pulls no punches describing the chaos she intends to create; she has declared war on Super Bowl [...]

Indiana Democrat State Rep. Tells Constituent: ‘Stop With the “Free Market” Bull. Please Don’t Write to Me Again’
William Voll was stunned to receive a rude e-mail from his state representative, Democrat Craig R. Fry, after sending him an email of the sort that elected officials receive every single day–and which it is their duty to consider.
Mr. Voll runs a manufacturing business in Mishawaka, Indiana. He supports the right-to-work legislation that is currently moving through the state legislature over vehement Democrat, labor, and leftist objections.

Indiana occupier charged with two felonies
From the Hearld Times
Monroe County prosecutors filed felony charges Tuesday against the Occupy Bloomington protester who police say injured two officers outside a downtown bar early New Year’s Day morning.
The protester, 36-year-old Joshua Johnson, will appear in court Friday afternoon and faces two charges of resisting law enforcement resulting in bodily injury, both Class D felonies.
Bloomington police requested an additional charge of battery on a police officer. But Bob Miller, chief deputy prosecutor in Monroe County, determined Tuesday that the charge would have been redundant.
“He couldn’t have been sentenced on all of them,” Miller said. “So we just pursued the resisting charges.”
Police claim Johnson deliberately struck, slapped and verbally harassed an officer while he was being arrested over the obstruction of traffic early Sunday morning. A probable-cause affidavit for his arrest states that Johnson then ran and was pursued by two officers.
When they caught him, police said, Johnson “was physically fighting and resisting officers” and “holding his hands tucked under his body in a prone position.”
Holder Race-baiting About Obama’s Re-election, Not Voting Rights
Eric Holder’s Department of Justice (DOJ) has launched an all-out war on voter-ID laws and other measures to safeguard to the electoral process. Although Holder’s actions are purportedly to prevent African-Americans from being disenfranchised, the reality is that they serve the crass political purpose of ensuring that Holder’s boss gets reelected next year.

Indiana cuts ties with Planned Parenthood
Good. This is a good thing. Before I get hit with a bunch of gibberish let me explain something. I am not an anti-abortion zealot, I do not believe Roe v. Wade should be overturned. I am pro-life, and I do understand things happen in people’s lives where abortion is on the table, and I also realize whatever those situations may be in your life are none of my business. However, I am strongly opposed to funding abortions with taxpayer dollars under any circumstances short of a medical emergency, period. So, defunding the abortion mill known as Planned Parenthood is a good thing. You want an abortion, you pay for it.
via The Blaze:
The Indiana House voted 66-32 Wednesday to approve a bill cutting the $3 million in federal money the state distributes to the organization for family planning and health programs.
The measure also ban abortions after the 20th week of pregnancy unless there is a substantial threat to the woman’s life or health and requires women seeking an abortion be told that life begins at conception and that doctors performing abortions have admitting privileges in a nearby hospital. The Senate approved the measure earlier this month.
The action opens a new legislative front in the conservative assault on Planned Parenthood, which has been targeted for its abortion services. Efforts to cut off federal funds in Congress failed this month, but bills are moving in a number of statehouses.
All of this is fine and dandy, and a distraction from the real issue in a way as well. The real issue and the real question needs to be, how did Planned Parenthood get government funding? It is not a function of government, funding it clearly falls outside the constitution in respect to the Enumerated Powers of congress. It clearly does not promote the general welfare. There is absolutely no valid reason they are being funded with taxpayer dollars.
