It is a tremendous understatement to say that the upcoming elections are important to our future. Many of our elected officials seem to be operating in a vacuum without focus or direction, in my humble opinion.

Perhaps they are functioning in this manner because collectively we have not shared our opinions and positions on issues. Our organized PAC continues to be very powerful, but are we as individuals supporting them financially and endorsing their positions?

As a repeat of an earlier article, I encourage you to participate in this process. The easiest avenue of participation that I know of remains the “Voter Voice” which is provided free of charge to all who sign up. Simply visit the IBA website, buildindiana.org, and click on “Voter Voice” and follow the simple instructions.
