  <blurb>On April 9th, while taking a stand for Indiana residents who had registered to vote but were denied their rights by a lazy elections board, Barry Welsh witnessed a local reporter being physically attacked by a GOP operative and, in trying to pull the Republican assailant off the reporter, took a punch to his eye.  (The attacker, a voter registration deputy and secretary of the local Republican Party, was arrested and faces charges of battery: see &lt;a href="http://www.thestarpress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080409/NEWS06/80409025"&gt;this article&lt;/a&gt; for more details.)

&lt;p&gt;In honor of Barry Welsh fighting (literally!) for Indiana&amp;#39;s voters, and taking five fingers on the chin (well, eye), let&amp;#39;s hit him with another 5: $5 as a way of saying &amp;quot;thank you&amp;quot; to a candidate who knows how to roll with the punches.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;So hit Barry with 5, and let him know that the people need someone willing to fight for them in Congress!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
