The 60th annual National Day of Prayer services will be held tomorrow, May 5th. The theme for this year’s event is “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” The national honorary chairman is the remarkable Joni Erickson Tada, a leader who has inspired millions with her life lived out in a Christ-like manner following a diving accident at the age of 17 which left her paralyzed.

FWIW, the Stupak-Pitts amendment to strip abortion funding from the bill passed. Now we’ll have to wait and see if it can survive the conference committee with the Senate, or a Supreme Court challenge.
We have word that tomorrow, Indiana State Representative Jackie Walorski intends on filing paperwork forming her candidate committee. This is only the administrative filing, which allows her to begin raising and spending money to explore her options.
The seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Joe Donnelly (D).
The mob’s efforts appear to be changing the minds of some Democrats. According to TheHill.com, “23 House Democrats already have told constituents or hometown media that they oppose the massive healthcare overhaul touted by President Barack Obama.”
If Republicans offer the blanket opposition they’ve promised, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) can afford to lose only 38 members of her 256-member caucus and still pass the bill.

US Representative Brad Ellsworth (D) Indiana 9th Congressional
US Representative Baron Hill (D) Indiana 9th Congressional District
André Carson (D) Indiana 7th Congressional District
State Rep. Pat Bauer (D) Indiana Speaker of the House
