Indiana: Governor Mitch Daniels Signs Law Upholding U.S. and Indiana Constitutions

Please Thank Governor Daniels and SB 1’s Authors and Sponsors for their Dedication to Protecting the Civil Liberties of ALL Hoosiers
 
On March 9, the Indiana General Assembly voted overwhelmingly to reaffirm lawful Hoosiers’ civil liberties disregarded by last year’s state Supreme Court decision, Barnes v. State of Indiana (2011).  Last night, Governor Mitch Daniels signed Senate Bill 1 into law, reaffirming constitutional rights and the rule of law in Indiana.
 
Overturning the effects of the Barnes decision was no easy task, especially when bloggers launched a vicious smear campaign that grievously misrepresented the bill language.  This resulted in a severely misinformed public, including many rank-and-file law enforcement officers.
 
SB 1 was supported by the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association, Indiana Prosecuting Attorneys Council, Indiana Public Defender Council and Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller.  That such law enforcement and legal entities joined together to support SB 1 speaks to the bill’s integrity as a law which protects both the rights of lawful citizens and law enforcement officers.
 
Prosecuting attorneys and public defenders alike testified that SB 1 reads nearly word-for-word identical to the Castle Doctrine language that passed overwhelmingly in both legislative chambers and was signed into law in 2006.  Both groups acknowledged that the only change in SB 1 from this Castle Doctrine law is an added protection for police officers that did not exist in the 2006 law.
 
Several members of the Indiana General Assembly deserve our appreciation for their steadfastness in protecting Hoosiers’ civil liberties. If not for the dedicated efforts by the bill author, state Senator Michael Young (R-35) and House sponsor, state Representative Jud McMillin (R-68), Indiana self-defense law and Fourth Amendment rights would not have been properly reaffirmed this year.
 
Additionally, state Representative Greg Steuerwald (R-40) is chairman of the House Courts and Criminal Code committee and worked closely with law enforcement in an attempt to alleviate their concerns.  State Representatives Steuerwald and Ryan Dvorak (D-8) worked closely with Representative McMillin to craft the critical House amendment which merited endorsement by the NRA and the above legal and law enforcement entities.
 
Senate Bill 1 passed in the state Senate 38 to 12; the Indiana House passed it by a 67 to 26 vote.
 
In his signing statement released this morning, Governor Mitch Daniels stated, "contrary to some impressions, the bill strengthens the protection of Indiana law enforcement officers by narrowing the situations in which someone would be justified in using force against them."

Governor Daniels went on to explain, "So as a matter of law, law enforcement officers will be better protected than before, not less so."  This act took effect immediately upon the Governor’s signature.  To view the Governor’s statement, please click here.
 
The National Rifle Association would like to express its sincerest thanks to all who supported this legislation and stood up for the civil liberties of Indiana citizens, and would encourage you to do the same. 

Please contact Governor Daniels to thank him for signing Senate Bill 1 into law! You can e-mail the Governor by clicking here.
 
Please also take a moment to thank state Senator Mike Young and Representatives Jud McMillin, Greg Steuerwald and Ryan Dvorak.  Contact information can be found by clicking on each legislator’s name.

Indiana: Critical Castle Doctrine and Fourth Amendment Protection Legislation Before Governor Mitch Daniels

Contact Governor Daniels TODAY, Respectfully Urging Him to Sign Senate Bill 1 into Law before its March 20 Deadline

After receiving approval from both chambers of the Indiana General Assembly, Senate Bill 1 reached Governor Mitch Daniels’ desk on March 14. Governor Daniels has seven days by law, to either sign or veto the legislation, which makes his deadline for action on this crucial self-defense reform legislation this Tuesday, March 20. Your support for this legislation is absolutely necessary.  Contact the Governor’s office TODAY and urge him to sign SB 1 into law.  It is vital that he hear from every freedom-loving Hoosier who supports this common-sense legislation, which simply restores the Fourth Amendment rights of Indiana Citizens.
Enactment of SB 1 is necessary after Hoosiers’ civil liberties were undermined by last year’s state Supreme Court decision, Barnes v. State of Indiana.  SB 1 reverses this activist court decision and restores self-defense laws to what they were prior to the Barnes decision.  SB 1 passed the House by a bipartisan 67 to 26 vote and the Senate by a 38 to 12 vote. 
Unfortunately, opponents of this legislation are intentionally spreading false information about SB 1 in an attempt to kill this critical legislation.  In addition, they are trying to flood the Governor’s office with e-mails and phone calls in order to convince him to veto the bill.  The Governor needs to hear your support for SB 1 today.
Again, please contact Governor Daniels immediately and respectfully urge him to sign SB 1 into law.   You can e-mail the governor by clicking here or call his office at 317-232-4567.

Governor Mitch Daniels Signs Into Law Charity Gaming Bill Benefitting Friends of NRA Banquets

Please Thank Governor Daniels for Supporting this Important Legislation

Today, Governor Mitch Daniels signed into law legislation that clarifies and simplifies the licensing and reporting process for charity gaming events, including “Friends of NRA” banquets.  Senate Bill 315 passed in the Senate unanimously and passed the House of Representatives by an overwhelming, 76-19 vote.

This legislation, authored by state Senator Randy Head (R-18) and sponsored by state Representative Mark Messmer (R-63), will streamline the licensing and reporting process for charity gaming events, such as “Friends of NRA” banquets, by:

  1. Establishing one comprehensive charity gaming license for national organizations and foundations for use by their local affiliates;
  2. Removing the current six-to-nine week application process and requiring in its place a 21-day notification to the Indiana Gaming Commission prior to an event; and
  3. Allowing qualified organizations and foundations to "police their own" by removing requirements to turn over volunteers' personal information to the Indiana Gaming Commission.

These policy changes will greatly improve the ability of “Friends of NRA” committees to comply with Indiana charitable gaming laws in a timely and less cumbersome fashion, while protecting the personal information of “Friends of NRA” volunteers.

As many NRA members well know, “Friends of NRA” banquets play a critical role in raising grant money to support education, safety, and training programs in communities across the Hoosier State, such as the Boy Scouts, 4H clubs, and local law enforcement groups. Unfortunately, some “Friends of NRA” chapters had difficulties holding banquets in 2011, which resulted in a net loss of approximately $100,000 in money that cannot be used for these Indiana groups.

The NRA appreciates Governor Mitch Daniels’ support of SB 315.  Please contact the Governor to thank him for signing SB 315 into law. You can e-mail the governor by clicking here.

Russia's future space plans

First let me apologize... I haven't done a This Week in Space for a bit... I'll do one soon, probably.


Leaked documents from the Russian space agency Roscosmos reveal what the country has planned for the next 18 years of its space program. The ambitious list includes multiple permanent research stations on Mars, probes exploring Venus and Jupiter, and a manned Moon landing.

Russia plans to send probes to Jupiter and Venus, land a network of unmanned stations on Mars and ferry Russian cosmonauts to the surface of the Moon — all by 2030.

Birls, photography, gender norms and ramblings

So as most of you likely recall... I'm almost exclusively attracted to birls (not goys, birls). Back in January I stumpled upon http://birls.tumblr.com/... well the individual that maintains it (who is hands down one of the most attractive birls with photos on the tumblr) is a photographer. I was poing around her tumblr, and then the link to her page she has on it... http://ekbphotography.ca I like her portfolio... as you can clearly see she's infinitely better than I (haha, well yeah my photog skills just flat out suck... as I've never read any books on the subject, taken any classes... etc... just fool around with my EOS Rebel)... she's probably in the top 5 of phtographers I've come upon this past year or so... anyway go check her stuff out... she's a Canuck from what I gather so I doubt any of you will need her services... but you might like her portfolio and share her and maybe someone will stumble upon them via you or I and give her some work!

Tide theft: Pricey laundry detergent makes for tempting target

This is just crazy. Flat out crazy.

Thieves seem to be embarking on an anti-grime spree, some media outlets are reporting, saying thousands of dollars in Tide detergent is being swiped from shelves across the country.

One Minnesota man stole about $25,000 worth of the liquid laundry detergent from a West St. Paul Wal-Mart over 15 months, authorities there say. Some stores, including a CVS in Prince George's County, Md., have taken to wrapping anti-theft devices around the handles of the orange bottles.

Several publications have described the thefts as a widespread crime wave, even calling the detergent "liquid gold," but law enforcement authorities and some retail operators aren’t so sure.
