Congressman Rudy Yakym has endorsed Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) for Senate in Indiana. Congressman Yakym made the announcement at a ‘What’s Ahead for America?’ Event in Granger on Wednesday night:

“Jim Banks is the steadfast conservative leader we need representing Hoosiers in the United States Senate, and I’m proud to offer him my support in his race,” Congressman Yakym said. “He is a tireless fighter for life, for the American dream, for our troops and against President Biden’s radical agenda. In the past six months he has united the party in support of his race, and I know he will make Indiana proud in the Senate. I am proud to support Jim, and urge my friends in IN-02 to join me.”

“I am honored to have Congressman Yakym’s endorsement in my race to bring our conservative values to the Senate,” Congressman Banks said. “I’ve enjoyed working with Rudy in the House to push back against Biden’s radical agenda and fight for the things that matter most to Hoosiers, and I will continue to fight for them in the Senate.”

Congressman Banks currently serves Indiana’s Third Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. He is running to replace Senator Mike Braun (R-IN), who is not seeking re-election. Born and raised in Indiana, Jim and his wife Amanda are the proud parents to three young daughters and they are honored to serve Northeast Indiana in Washington.

When I see the photo of Rudy on his congressional website it reminded me of another person I have decided is not worth my trust, Toad Young. That smile makes me think the two are flimflam men. As a US Citizen I have a Constitutional 1st Amendment right to “redress of grievance” from my elected officials. But Rudy thinks he can limit my protestations to 2000 characters per message. Neither US Senator does this and neither did Rudy’s predecessor. Neither does any other competent US Senator that I have written. When their mug is on national TV I have a right to communicate with them about my disgust with their ideas regardless of state.

Besides, I am convinced that most responses from our elected officials are pre-planned and canned. When you select a subject from a drop down list while messaging them from their web page, you are selecting the response. I doubt anyone in the office actually reads the messages from constituents. As far as Rudy goes, when I have more to say than 2000 characters I write a paper letter that probably takes more time to read and respond to than an electronic message. Until I see a change in this censorship effort from my congressional office, I will look upon Rudy with great skepticism. I do however agree that Jim Banks would make an outstanding US Senator. That wouldn’t be hard to do in comparison to Toad Young and the car parts salesman.

Rudy Yakum is never to be trusted. He pointed the finger at me as a murder suspect to help some corrupt northern Indiana police cover up an armed robbery turned murder. Some officers were involved and politicians had an optics problem when it comes to election and re-election campaigns. This frame job got Jackie Walorski killed. I watched her accident in my rear view mirror. It was a police suspect ID operation gone wrong. It’s quite interesting that the initial details were reported wrong and stated Edith crossed the center line. Detectives watched that accident happen in front of them. The truth is stranger than fiction. I share the same name as Edith’s brother. The barn arsons in 4 counties during 2021 are a direct result of a murder and cover up. A frame job that I planned and told my friends to use against me was responsible. Those barn fires were part of the plan I gave them. The folks caught for the arsons were present for the planning in my basement. Rudy doesn’t belong at the levers of power. Jim Banks also has an optics problem. He doesn’t belong in the U.S. Congress. He also has gone along with framing an innoccent man.
