The campaign continues… We stopped in Auburn, Indiana, where I talked with Mary Voiral. \u00a0 She put up a full size crucifix in her front yard on a busy street here. \u00a0 She said at a time when they are removing monuments with the 10 Commandments, and other religious symbols, from public places, wouldn’t it make sense for people of faith to display similar things in their front yards? \u00a0 …We journeyed on to Kendallville, Indiana, where we visited the Mid-America Windmill Museum<\/em>. \u00a0 This is the second biggest windmill display in the world, with 54 large windmills on display. \u00a0 (The first biggest is in Lubbock, Texas.) \u00a0 The particular windmills on display at Kendalville are primarily for pumping water on farms, etc. \u00a0 However, while at the museum, I learned Benton County, Indiana, was installing a wind farm with 360 wind turbines in a “Class 3” wind corridor. \u00a0 Just this morning, our Jonathon, 6, was learning the following poem in ‘motor-homeschooling.’ \u00a0 “The sky is painted blue. \u00a0 The earth is painted green. \u00a0 And there’s lots of fresh air inbetween.”<\/em><\/strong> \u00a0 I couldn’t help but think that we’re going to need a lot more wind turbines in this country for the poem to be: true… \u00a0 We then headed northwest to Southbend, Indiana. \u00a0 I talked to a couple Christian Response to the Globe<\/em> classes at Holy Cross College. \u00a0 [One of the classes was taught by Michael Griffin who is involved with the Peace Fellowship here.] \u00a0 I told the classes that in my first “100 days as president,” I’d sign my allegiance to a ‘war.’ \u00a0 The War on Hunger. \u00a0 I said with 24,000 people starving to death every day in the world, this would seem a huge<\/em> issue. Note:<\/strong> \u00a0 At an “Art Walk” today in downtown South Bend, I passed out fliers about the campaign. \u00a0 I ask our supporters to download the Hand Out<\/strong> from the top of the home page and pass them out on the streets, throughout your neighborhood, etc. Thanks. \u00a0 –Joe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
