We’re in high gear as we make our final push for the May 3 primary. Recently, we’ve been in Evansville to greet voters with former President Bill Clinton at the Penny Lane Coffeehouse and to meet new friends at a campaign reception hosted by Bill and Mary Bennett.
We also were in Jasper with the Southwest Indiana Rural Letter Carriers Association and at the 50th Anniversary celebration of the TRI-CAP Community Action Agency, highlighted by the inspirational keynote speaker Sister Simone Campbell.

Bearing the Burden of Congressional Inaction--Orentlicher for Congress
As new research indicates, the consequences of congressional inaction are serious for lower-income families, especially in the 8th District and other parts of Indiana. When people cannot earn a decent wage, they do not live as long as their wealthier neighbors. Moreover, the gap in life expectancy between rich and poor has been increasing in recent years.
But good government can compensate for the impact of poverty on health. When Congress raises the minimum wage and invests more in job creation, fewer families remain poor. And when poor people live in communities with good public health policies and good social services, their life expectancy rises.
To win election, we need your help. Today is our pre-primary fundraising deadline, and I hope you can help us meet our very important fundraising goal. Whether you give $5 or $500, your support now will do much to help us have a successful campaign.
We can take a check made out to "Orentlicher for Congress" and mailed to P.O. Box 3053, Terre Haute, IN 47803. Online donations can be made by clicking here. Please contribute by this evening. Thank you very much for your consideration.
