I'm not trying to be a nay-sayer here, but keep in mind our General Assembly is recessed until next year, other than organization day in November. You won't get their attention because they won't be there. An idea like this would probably get a bigger splash when all 150 legislators are at the statehouse. Just my thoughts, and yes, this is one thing that it is going to take... Kyle

Kyle is right, the legislators aren't here now, so a protest at the State House probably wouldn't do much. Taking on the specific situation in Knox Co. might make more sense as a place to start. Make people aware that the law was ignored. Make a INPCRP Hall of Shame Award to everyone involved. Do a media blitz. If everyone on the list wrote a letter to the Star & the local papers, that would get some attention. This leads me to think about the future of the INPCRP. The web site has to be updated! Brad Manzenberger recently volunteered to take over that job. Scott's response to Brad was that he would get back to him. That was several weeks ago. Not having current information out there makes us look bad and is of little help to anyone. The next thing is people on the list have got to quit fighting & nit picking. Alot of people have had their toes stepped on & their feelings hurt, including me. It's time to shake it off, forgive, forget, & move on, otherwise we get nowhere. I think( I hope) we are all in this for the same reason, to protect our pioneer cemeteries. This is an election year. We need to get out there and educate the people running for the Legislature . Make pioneer cemeteries an issue. Bring it up at every public debate, write letters to the editor, talk to the current Legislators from your district and anyone else who will listen. Enlist the help of the historical societies, genealogy societies, DAR, Society of Indiana Pioneers, Landmarks, etc. Be positive. We have a toe in the door of the Legislature thanks to some very brave legislators, the Henry Co. Cemetery Commission & the small group of people who attended hearings & worked on drafting the bill presented last year. We have to have more support- phone calls -letters- bodies (live ones). Of course, we would all rather be our working in the yards, but nothing changes if we don't do this. BUD, GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK ON THE LIST!!
