Friends of Hoosier Access, Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt, are in Washington, D.C. covering, live, the action on Capitol Hill. They are currently taking part in a blogger conference in Minority Leader, John Boehner’s office.

Below is just a portion. You can follow their Twitter feeds, as well as Robert Bluey’s of townhall.com fame, after the leap (you don’t need to be a member of Twitter to follow the feeds), plus you can read individual postings of the live blog at Prosper Group Think.

We are joining Conservative bloggers from across the country in Rep. John Boehner’s office to listen to various Republican Congressman who are here in DC urging Speaker Nancy Pelosi to call back Congress to deal with the Energy crisis.

First up in Jeb Hensarling, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee. (Keep in mind, I’m doing my best to quote Hensarling as he speaks- don’t blame him for poor grammar).

Hensarling: We are here to ask 2 things.

In our current national economy, times are a bit tough and money is tight. The RNC, however, doesn’t think that should keep people from making non-tax deductible donations to them. Now don’t get us wrong. Those of us at Hoosier Access are fans of the RNC, but this is no way to treat your supporters if they haven’t “ponied” up in a while. Friends of the site, Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt, got this letter in the mail recently.

Um, yeah, I’m ready to give. How about you?!

I’m very late in posting this but, well … I’ve been busy. Below is a piece my good friend and fellow co-founder of the Conservative Breakfast Club Fred Rost published in the News Sentinel several weeks ago. For those of you in the Fort Wayne area, please join us every Monday morning at 7:30am at Park Place Grill (200 East Main Street, FW). Upcoming speakers include the following:

8/4 – Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi

8/11 – Rob Beiswenger, Indiana Right to Work

The Conservative Breakfast Club has caught on in Fort Wayne with an average crowd of 25 or so and a group has recently began efforts to replicate the CBC in the Indianapolis area. We wish them well in this effort. Learn more about CBC at our website here.

All conservatives in Indiana should read Rost’s two part piece from the Fort Wayne News Sentinel editorial page published on May 19 & 20. You can read Part 1 and Part 2 here. More about Rost from the News Sentinel below.
