Indiana pro-life protesters to picket Obama’s fundraiser after Notre Dame appearance
Notre Dame isn’t the only Indiana function Barack Obama will attend this Sunday.
Obama is also scheduled to headline a Democrat fundraiser at the Westin Hotel in Indianapolis at 4p EST for 4 Democrat reps. Tickets range from $250 to $5k.
And Intercessors for Life picketers will be there as well, to remind Obama and his followers – free of charge – exactly what the man supports: abortion in all its glory.
Email Rudy Guerrero for details on meeting place. Time to meet will be 3-3:30p EST….
Photos are of IFL protest at same Westin a month ago against another pro-abort.
There was an interesting article in the May 11 South Bend Tribune, with Indiana Republicans speculating Obama’s Notre Dame visit may cost him in the Hoosier State in 2012:
But Obama’s swift action on abortion after taking office has received a lot of attention. Three days after taking the oath, he revoked a 2001 executive order from President Bush that cut off U.S. money to foreign aid organizations that offered advice or counseling on abortion, lobbied for legalization of the practice and assisted people with “voluntary population planning.”
Then, in early March, Obama removed limitations on human fetal stem cell research.
St. Joseph Co. Republican Party Chairman Chris Riley – who earned his law degree at Notre Dame in 2001 – said those steps, plus a controversial memo from the Dept. of Homeland Security, show Obama to be much further to the left on abortion than where people originally thought.
“I think Barack Obama procured the university’s confidence under totally false pretenses,” Riley said. “He campaigned as an abortion moderate, as somebody who wanted to work to reduce the number of abortions. But he has governed in a completely different manner.”…
Those steps on the national stage, coupled with publicity around the Notre Dame visit, could cost Obama politically here in 2012, Riley said.
“He has taken us on a dramatic march toward the political, social and economic left,” Riley said. “I know people that voted for Barack Obama and saw him as somebody who could bring together a hurting nation, but are shocked at the legislation that he has proposed.”…
[S]tate Rep. Jackie Walorski, R-Jimtown, said she understands the protests….
Abortion could cost Obama some serious political capital in Indiana, Walorski said.
He narrowly won here in 2008. Before that victory, Hoosiers hadn’t voted for a Democrat since Lyndon Johnson in 1964….
“Him coming to ND, and the divisiveness of what this has caused in the ND community family, and Catholic community at large, I think will play a big role” in the next election, Walorski said. “It’s given pro-lifers as much of a spotlight as it has the pro-choicers.”
It’s also renewed a debate that wasn’t really heard in 2008, she said.
“The mainstream media would like to have America believe that this is irrelevant, that the pro-life issue is no longer a relevant conversation piece and that we’ve moved on past that in this country,” she said. “I would say, ‘Well, really? Welcome to Notre Dame, Indiana.'”

Praise God for Rudy and his leadership and stance for the unborn in Indianapolis. I will be there with him along with others from our congregation at Damascus Road Bible Fellowship in Indianapolis.
Why are people who voted for Barry now “shocked” at how radical he is? He didn’t campaign as a moderate. Any his pro abortion radical beliefs were no secret either.
It’s a bit late for buyer’s remorse. Nothing anyone can do until 2012. And who knows how much damage he will have done by then?
The only silver lining is this pro abort radical has energized the pro life movement like no one else ever has. I think it was easy to take things for granted when President Bush was in office.
I think after voters witness the publicity stunt /circus at ND, Obama will carry the state easily in 2012.
Notwithstanding the GOP strategy, people don’t usually vote for crazy….

Bystander,
You should consider employment with the Binghamton, New York Police Department.
They responded to ‘shots fired’ with in 3 minutes of receiving the call, then went into ‘Bystander’ mode and waited for 90 minutes until they could ensure the safety of their officers, before they entered the building.
The new motto of the BPD: Every man for himself, wounded grannies and children fend for themselves.
We know this because the 61 year old receptionist who was shot first, played dead laying next to the lifeless body of her co-worker who had been shot next and was not ‘playing’ dead. When the shooter walked away she crawled under the desk and called the police who stayed on the phone with her for almost the entire 90 minutes while she lay in a pool of her own blood and feces leaking from the gunshot wounds in her guts.
Or you could go to work for a limousine company and, like the BPD, drive someone elses car and stand around and wait.
Either would be perfect for a ‘bystander’ like you.

Ken I am not sure if you are drunk or just naturally boorish. Obnoxious either way.
Hi Joanne 4:38PM
Its like Germans being “shocked” at the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany when Hitler never made any secret of his hatred of Jews.
Do people just not listen or what?

The wicked flee in terror when no one pursues because they are bullies and cowards.
Please identify the ‘thugs’ on the video. Give us a description like you would if you were filing a police report.
Gender, hair color, age, ethnicity, what they were wearing any identifying tatoos, scarrs, body piercings, etc.
Give us the time that the ‘thug’ were threatening or assauting anyone.
I thought I saw a man and woman who resembled Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn, but I might have been mistaken.
Please help us we want to avoid ‘ thugs’ like Ayers and Dorhn.

Hi Ken,
Ayers and Dohrn. Are you referring to those friends of Obama’s who were terrorist bombers?
Nahhh. Must be another Ayers and Dohrn.
Well, Heather at least no one has voted for you…
Posted by: Bystander at May 15, 2009 8:43 PM———————————————————- I wasn’t running.
And you still got more votes than Alan Keyes. LOL
Intercessors for Life had 15 people standing, shouting, preaching, filming, holding truth at the Westin in downtown Indianapolis during President Obama’s fundraising event Sunday May 17, following his Notre Dame debacle. Praise God for those who stood with us. Many were rebuked. Many were encouraged. Truth went forth from our signs, our discussions, our shouts and our presence. God is with us in this cause.
