Just got this in my emial inbox:
Indiana's treasured "Castle Doctrine" ("A man's home is his castle") which allows Hoosiers to defend their homes with lethal force, has been challenged. Richard Barnes, a citizen, attempted to block police making an unlawful entry into his home. Indiana's Supreme Court ruled that he did not have the right to block them. Seventy-one Indiana Senators have filed an amicus brief asking that the ruling be overturned. There is a public hearing Wednesday, August 24, at 1 PM in Room 431 of the Indiana State House. If you click on the "READ HERE" link below, there are also phone calls we can make. This is a fundamental right. Do we want to lose it?

Update on Castle Doctrine Ruling
Status of Barnes v. Indiana
We wrote an article several weeks back on the Indiana Supreme Court ruling which overturned the Common Law Provision known as the 'Castle Doctrine'. For those of you who missed the article, READ HERE
Call To Action
There has been a fundamental shift on the Indiana Supreme Court bench. This ruling is dangerous and effects each and every Hoosier. As it stands today, because of this ruling, HOOSIERS NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO RESIST UNLAWFUL POLICE ENTRY INTO THEIR HOMES!
Even if the case is reheard and the Court would vacate its May 12 ruling with a new, more narrow ruling, 'We the People' must take a stand! Justices are only up for retention EVERY 10 YEARS (unless bad behavior)! Now is the time to take our Indiana Supreme Court back!
1. Attend PUBLIC Committee Hearing on Wednesday, August 24, 1 PM. See details below.
There is a legislative committee that was assigned to review the recent case. The Committee is having a PUBLIC hearing on Wednesday, August 24, at 1 PM in Room 431 of the Indiana State House. Those attending can observe as well as give testimony. NOTE: If attending, you may want to call day before hearing to 1-317-232-9814 and speak to Senator Brent Steele's staff to confirm that hearingis still on and re-confirm the meeting location.
