Operation Indiana Liberty: Fort Wayne

The big event last night was the visit of Operation Indiana Liberty to Franke Park in Fort Wayne.  Hosted by the FreedomMaker Coalition of Indiana, members of several local 9/12 groups, The Liberty Coalition, the Fort Wayne chapter of Act! for America and other like-minded groups appeared.  In addition, four of the candidates in the Republican caucus for the state's 3rd Congressional district (Greg Dickman, Liz Brown, Bob Morris & Lonnie Powell) appeared for the event as well.
The periodical bouts of rain during the day and during the rally helped to limit the length of the rally itself (as well as the geographic locations for attendees, of which there were just under 70).  The central focus of the event was on the subject of interposition, as discussed by the keynote speaker, Thomas Weddle (above), in regards to getting rid of ObamaCare.


Other speakers included fellow Dekalb 9/12 members Gary Bowser (left), a Patton with a lower-pitched voice, and Michael Lewinski (below), the epitome of what a 9/12'er should be, with both of them talking about the need to get out the votes, and Mr. Bowser talking as well about the need for conservatives to unite.

Now while the course of the past year and a half has left me concerned about the state of America and of We the People, listening to Mr. Weddle left me with even greater concerns about the state of America, about what is happening to us now, and what we must do to stop this here in Indiana. 

During the rally, it was also discussed what our goals would be and our plans of action.  It gave me the reaffirming feeling of knowing that we are not a conglomerate of organizations composed of summer soldiers and sunshine patriots, to borrow from Thomas Paine.  It also served as a reminder of what kind of fight we're in: a long one.  And with God's help and blessing, it is a fight we will win, in Indiana, and in America.
