The event, titled “Christmas With Mike Pence”, was sponsored by Kosciusko Silent No More, Miami County Tea Party, Wabash C3, Whitley County Patriots, Whitley County TEA Party, DeKalb 912, Fort Wayne 912 and Elkhart County TEA Party.
Pat Miller, WOWO 1190 AM talk radio show host, served as emcee.
There were 300 people who attended the event at the farm of Bob and Waneta Bishop. Pence attended the event along with his wife, Karen, and son, Michael.
Pence is seeking the gubernatorial bid in the May primary. He faces Republican opponent Jim Wallace.
Pence said he is running to represent Indiana.
“I believe the state of Indiana is on the verge of an era of growth and opportunity like no other time in our lifetime,” Pence said.
He said Governor Mitch Daniels has balanced budgets, lowered taxes, improved the state of government and extended education opportunities.
However, Pence said the state can’t afford to stop that progress, and said thousands of Hoosiers are out of work.
He said if elected governor he will fight for every Hoosier job and to create educational opportunities.
“Right now Hoosiers are faced with an avalanche of regulations and taxes that threaten our freedom,” Pence said.
He said to get Indiana growing the state needs to be put first, and Washington must be said no to.
He said the financial crisis in Washington will not be solved by cutting spending, but taking action to permanently reduce the size of the federal government by restoring power to the state and people.
He said he will fight for every Hoosier to work, live and run schools without unnecessary government intrusion.
He will lead the fight against cap and trade and Obamacare until it is repealed.
“I have a vision for an even better Indiana built on focusing on goals of good jobs, great schools, safe streets and strong families,” Pence said.
He said the best stimulus plan is less taxes and red tape and more fiscal responsibility.
He said, if elected, he will cut taxes for working families, small businesses and family farms and encourage investment and growth.
Pence said no Hoosier should be compelled to join a union or pay dues as a condition of their employment. He said they should have the right to work on the terms and conditions of their choosing.
Pence also addressed the education topic.
He said education is a state and local function and the state does not need Washington to tell the states how to run its schools.
“I will look for ways to fund excellence in education and promote ways for every Hoosier child through more school choices and charter schools,” Pence said.
He said there has been a realization that the present crisis is not just economic and political, but moral.[[In-content Ad]]
