Help Elect a Conservative to IU Board of Trustees

IU could use a conservative or two on the Board of Trustees. Here is your chance to make that happen.

Dear Conservative and IU Friends,

After some searching I am happy to report that Kelly Burton Smith has stepped forward to run as a conservative candidate in this year’s IU Alumni Trustee race. Anyone who follows the goings on at IU knows that changes are need in the politically correct leadership. From gay culture centers, race-based admissions policies, and a politically one-sided faculty to the banning of Christmas trees, handguns, and academic freedom, things clearly need to change. All this, while tuition rates continue to soar well beyond the rate of inflation. Conservatives must step forward to do something.

Kelly is a graduate of IU School of Law Indianapolis. She is an attorney at Barnes and Thornburg in Indianapolis and lives in Hamilton County. Her conservative credentials are unquestionable and I think she’ll make a good candidate.

In order to get Kelly on the ballot, we need to secure 100 signatures from IU alumni and turn them in with her application by April 1. A petition form is attached as a pdf. Please sign it and get as many IU alumni to sign it as you can. You will need to return the hard copy with original signatures directly to Kelly at the address listed on the form no later than Friday, April 28 in order for Kelly to get it to IU before the April 1 deadline.

This doesn’t give us much time but I know we can do this. Please feel free to forward this message and copy the form as much as you need to. Won’t it be nice to have a candidate we can feel proud to vote for this year?

Thanks for your help.

Jim
