Rebecca Sink-Burris Wins Libertarian US Senate Bid

INDIANAPOLIS, IN - The Libertarian Party of Indiana (LPIN) held its 2010 state convention in Indianapolis April 23 to April 25. The body selected Rebecca Sink-Burris to run for United States Senate. Sink-Burris will oppose Brad Ellsworth (D) and likely oppose Dan Coats (R) after the republican primary.

In a time of unmatched increase in government spending and power, Sink-Burris is running to reduce government spending across the board. Holding by the scruff of the neck a plush donkey and elephant Sink-Burris said, "The old parties have not listened. They have gone the opposite direction of what people have asked of them. They have made a mess of things and its time for them to go."

Rebecca Sink-Burris has launched a media campaign that promises some controversial and viral messages, hoping to spark the voters to see that it is time for a change in Washington. To accompany her nomination, Sink-Burris has launched an internet campaign at www.electrebecca.com. When speaking about the nomination she said, "The time is right for a party that truly serves the freedom and economic security of its constituents; a party that truly represents the all the classes; a party that protects the smallest minority: the individual."

Rebecca Sink-Burris and her husband of 35 years, Mark Burris, reside on an old farm property that is surrounded by the scenic Morgan-Monroe State Forest in Bloomington, IN. Mark owns Burris Engineering Inc., which manufactures precision metal parts for turbine engines. Rebecca and Mark have two children, Matthew and Lauren.

Matt, 28, graduated from Kettering University in Michigan and is currently employed at Stimulus Engineering in southern Indiana. Lauren, 25, attended Indiana University as a history major and finished her undergraduate degree at Columbia College in Chicago. Lauren is pursuing a career in film making in Los Angles. Matt and Lauren both are Libertarians, much to the pride and pleasure of their parents.

Rebecca's political heritage includes a great-great grandfather, who was a state legislator, as well as Sen. Richard Lugar, who is a distant relative. She is a lifelong Libertarian and advocate of free-market policies and individual rights.
