Charra is currently VHS’ LONGEST dog resident. She was found as a stray on Evansville’s north side, so her background is pretty blank, and her breed(s) are only a guess. VHS thinks she is likely a hound mixed with some American Staffordshire Terrier. She earned a GREEN on her temperament test, meaning she’s great with kids. She’s active so she’d be a great walking or running companion. Charra’s $100 adoption fee includes her spay, microchip, vaccines, heartworm test, and more! Call (812) 426-2563 or visit www.vhslifesaver.org for adoption information!

Government is, itself, supposed to be governed. Regulators are to be regulated. And justices are supposed to be just. That is how the police are to be policed.
Police officers can’t reasonably be expected to enforce, impose and collect counterproductive, unfair, unconstitutional rules, fines, takings, prohibitions, mandates, taxes and punishments that have already become so numerous as to be unknowable, so complex as to be uninterpretable, and so unreasonable as to be unenforceable in any fair and uniform way.
Unfortunately, our government is destructively, unsustainably, and of course unconstitutionally, corrupt.
But just as counterproductive, unconstitutional foreign policy creates problems around the world and brings them back home, bad politics made immigration a problem in a nation of immigrants. It fans the flames of race and other class divisions. And of course, bad, unconstitutional politics has destroyed our respect of important institutions and civic roles…like police.
It’s good that more communities are remembering that police forces didn’t use to be, and don’t have to be, operated by politicians. Competition is good.
But let’s all remember that the current problems with policing are with the politicians who hire, train, equip, pay, direct and discipline them.
In other words, police are taking the hit for bad politics.
No other candidate for IN08 US House has any intention or desire to regulate our government. They all want it bigger, costlier, more dangerously powerful.
I am the only candidate who wants to put a leash where it most needs to be put. On politicians!
How?
There isn’t a candidate with more written on that subject. Please see my blog at https://wedeclare.wordpress.com/, and my websites at http://andrewhorning.wix.com/horningforcongress and http://www.horning4congress.com/ for more information than you’ll find on any other candidate.

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital partnered with University of Louisville to perform the first fetal echocardiogram.
A fetal echocardiogram (echo for short) is a diagnostic tool that uses ultrasound waves to create images of a baby’s heart. These images show the structure and function of the baby’s heart. A doctor can then review the images allowing them to diagnose heart conditions and problems. The fetal echo is designed to help identify “high-risk pregnancies†and take the proper steps to care for the mother and baby.
The first fetal echo was completed June 6th at Owensboro Health by sonographers with the electrodiagnostics unit. The images were sent to a UofL doctor and other specialists. According to specialists from Owensboro Health and UofL, this enhances prenatal and newborn care in Owensboro and the surrounding region.
Manager of the Electrodiagnostics unit at Owensboro Health Regional Hospital, RN, Sara Abell says, “The goal is to identify babies with cardiac defects and manage their care in the safest way possible, and for as many babies to be delivered as close to home as possible. Fetal echocardiograms can help the physicians guide the families appropriately.â€
Indianapolis – In accordance with a presidential proclamation issued this evening, Governor Mike Pence today directed flags at state facilities statewide be flown at half-staff until Friday, July 22, to honor the victims of the attack on police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This directive is a continuation of a previous directive asking businesses and residents to lower their flags to half-staff in honor the victims of the terrorist attack in Nice, France until Tuesday, July 19.
Governor Pence also asks businesses and residents to lower their flags to half-staff to honor the service and sacrifice of these police officers.
