Libertarian Indianapolis City-County Councilor Coleman Introduces Proposal to Remove TSA from Indy Airport
Indianapolis At-Large City-County Councilor Ed Coleman (L) has introduced a proposal to refuse further service from the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) at the Indianapolis airport. The airport could then hire its own security, or contract it out to a private firm.
The City-Council can recommend this change to the Indianapolis Airport Authority, an independent municipal corporation. Read the text of Proposal 337, 2010 by clicking here.
Indianapolis residents can support this proposal in a few ways: - Call or Email City-Councilors. Find their information here.
- The proposal will appear before the Municipal Committee next Monday night. Please attend the meeting and ask for its passage. The meeting starts at 5:30 PM at the City-County Building in room 118.
- Contact the Councilors of the committee. It has to pass to committee to be voted on (and passed) by the full council. Most controversial bills are killed in committee because politicians think supporters or opponents of a proposal are not paying attention. Please politely write them and remind them that is false.

It is $25 for non-attorneys - $15 for students.

Heartland Institute: When Bake Sales Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Have Bake Sales
By the Heartland Institute's Ben Boychuk.
"Drop that brownie, young lady! You're in violation of Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010."
Vilsack and Miller, who is on his way out as chairman of the education committee, don't "intend" for the federal government to ban bake sales in your community school. But the law says it can. Maybe not next week. But maybe next year. Or maybe sometime in the future, when a true believer like Margo Wootan is Secretary of Agriculture. And in any event, states and officious localities are already headed in that direction.

ABOUT THE LIBERTARIAN PARTY
The Libertarian Party is America, and Indiana's, third largest political
party founded in 1971 as an alternative to the two main political
parties. Its vision is for a world in which all individuals can freely
exercise the natural right of sole dominion over their own lives,
liberty and property by building a political party that elects
Libertarians to public office, and moving public policy in a libertarian
direction.
The Libertarian Party of Indiana was formed in 1974, and has maintained
ballot access since 1994. Sam Goldstein, an Indianapolis resident,
currently serves as Chairman. Learn what we stand for here. |
