As a resident of Anderson and Madison County, I am asking for your support in trying to help me keep my job at Sallie Mae, and just as important, to help keep jobs in Indiana. Pending legislation is aiming to move all student lending functions under the federal government, which would in turn eliminate approximately 20,000 jobs nationwide.
From Madison County alone, Sallie Mae employs 309 residents. There are other lenders and guarantors from Indiana that would also be negatively affected by the passing of this legislation, and many employees from those companies (JP Morgan Chase, NelNet, USA Funds, etc.) also live in Madison County.
We have all seen enough job loss in the Anderson area and in the state of Indiana, so let’s not let this employer become another victim. Sallie Mae employees would be appreciative if you could join approximately 40,000 other residents to date and sign our petition at http://www.protectindianajobs.com.

Letter: Lutz not representing the working class
I feel bad that Rep. Lutz (R) is sad, because Democrats at the Statehouse are representing the working class people of Indiana. While he is representing big business.

Letter: Consumer-driven economy will pay off debt
To save America some money — by acclimation of course — let’s not have a presidential election in 2012. We already have a good president who will do his best to kill all Republican bills (DOA) and, consequently, create more good-paying jobs in the $30 per hour range.

Letter: Gingrich cashes in on political amnesia
Rasmussen says that Romney has flattened nationally. Why?
Two reasons seem to tell the tale. Gingrich has shown that he will fight, and Romney is a Mormon, believed to be a “cult” by a majority of evangelicals. -
Letter: Hiring Winkler not wise spending
As a taxpayer I want to know that my taxes are being spent wisely. Hiring Greg Winkler at a salary of $126,000 is not wise spending.

Letter: Bill of Rights being nullified by new law
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act on New Year’s Eve. I doubt many Americans noticed its implications because they do not yet comprehend the big picture. This law, coupled with the Patriot Act, is paving the way for America’s direction toward tyranny.
