    It's too bad that Indiana's elected officials don't answer letters that are written to them. I guess once they hit the beltway, they don't care any more.

    Stop stalling on HR5749 and pass that bill this week! Indiana needs it after the floods. We can't wait anymore for this emergency legislation both houses have argued about since January! Put politics aside and pass the bill this week.

    Senator Lugar, This is a request asking you to please push this War Funding Supplement, New GI Bill, Disaster Relief Funds ans Unemployment Extensions through the Senate. We all know you have strong Leadership in the Senate and with your great influence allot of people's lives will be in much better shape. We the People are asking to have the Senate pass this Legislation exactly the way Congress and the White House drafted the Bill. Please do not put any more additions to it. Just leave the Language as is and send it through the Senate and on to the President for his signature. Thank You for your time and consideration.
    Sincerely and Respectfully,

    Shame, shame, shame! I can't believe you voted against HR6331. Why? HR6331 bill contents is what got me back to walking good with only a cane because I had a granuloma on the spine it had damaged many nerves and muscles. I had continue my therapy through the outpatient pt but they told me that had done all that they could do. I went to a private therapist who put together a awesome program for me. I just not walking but I have coordination, better stability, balance. If I had of stop my therapy eight months ago I would have still needed assistance at home with day to day activies.

    Lugar voted against concealed carry of fire arms by responsible Americans, he does not believe you have the right to protect yourself or in the 2nd amendment. The bill was defeated by two votes he was one of them, 20 democrat voted in support of the bill. How did this guy get elected as a republican?

    Mr. Lugar, you need to support those of us that want to protect ourselves. Drunk drivers kill more people more people than those of us with guns. It's our right to protect ourselves. Half the time the police can't get to a home fast enough to protect us! I think I may need to vote someone else in your place.

    Lugar has been a senator too long he needs to go, as well as bayh. NONE of them take their oath to the constitution seriously. all of this is the voters fault we are the bosses and have not protected our freedom and rights. Until the voters wake up we will get more of the same. Shame on them but shame on us for voting for the same hacks season after season expecting different results. As Madison said of the constitution, it is only a paper barrier if the people will not protect it it will not stand.

    I'll never vote for Senator Lugar again, given his recent voting activity concerning his 'NO' vote for Senate Amendment 1618 (Carrying Concealed Firearms) and his supporting vote for Cass Sunstein!

    I'm in complete agreement with spirtof76's previous comment... When will these politicians uphold the oath of office they swore to in regards to the Constitution! We, the people, need to stand-up and take our Republic back!

    It is time for Lugar to get voted out of office. He approved Cass Sunstein to be the "Regulatory Czar". For those that dont know Cass Sunstein. He is a firm believer in the treatment of Animals. So much so that he thinks Animals need to have attorneys. So he is looking to ban hunting. Bayh and Lugar need to go. Period

    HR 2647: All the reason I need (among many others) to do my very patriotic best to make sure this RINO never serves another term in Congress. Mr. Lugar no longer represents the people who keep putting him in office year after year. We are awake, becoming educated and informed and identifying those who do not represent the founding priniciples or display good ol' fashioned common sense. WE THE PEOPLE are taking back our nation and WE CONSERVATIVES are taking back the republican party. Mr. Lugar, enjoy what time you have left in office because it will be your last term.
    YOU'RE FIRED!
