I know people think that will mean more American owned and operated businesses, but do you have any idea how many years it would take to get the infrastructure needed to do that? We don’t just have a bunch of factories sitting empty. Also there are some crops we really can’t grow here. All this will do is drive up prices and reduce what is available at the stores. A lot of companies and businesses are already putting out the warning on how this will raise prices.
HR 8535 is a bipartisan bill that would preserve 15k acres of public forest for future generations.
Bill details:

Baird's response when asked to support the bill:
Thank you for sharing your views on preserving and protecting our natural environment. It is important to have your input on such matters, and it enhances my ability to serve you in the U.S. House of Representatives. I appreciate you taking the time to express your views on this important issue.
I understand the importance of protecting our natural environment. As a farmer and land owner, I recognize the important responsibility we have in keeping our land, air, and water resources viable for ourselves and future generations. As stewards of the Earth, we all have a duty to protect and manage our natural environment.
As your representative, I believe it is possible to achieve these goals through the power of American innovation instead of federal government overreach and one-size-fits-all solutions. I know how important it is to Hoosiers, many of whom rely on Indiana land and natural resources to earn a living, to protect our planet. Please be assured, I will keep your views in mind should legislation regarding our environment come before me for a vote.
It is an honor to serve as your Representative in Congress and I hope you will continue to call, email, or write me on any issues of importance to you. Please visit the 4th District's website at www.baird.house.gov to find out more about my work in Congress.
Sincerely,
Jim Baird
Member of Congress
I remember posts circulating about Indiana doctors who will perform a tubal ligation regardless of # of children, age and marital status. Anybody know of any doctors? Or know what post I’m talking about?
Hi everyone! I've been learning JavaScript and decided to put some use to what I learned. Naturally, I already had voter data for Indiana on my computer, so I used that to make my own interactive Indiana voter turnout map! You can select two years and compare voter data for the state as a whole, or on a county level. This is my first pass at building anything myself, so let me know what you think!
