It is time for the people of Indiana to retire Evan Bayh as senator. He has consistently championed causes not in the interest of the good people of our state but for the industries, including health insurance giant WellPoint, that continually enrich him personally and professionally.

While hundreds of thousands of Hoosiers are without work and health insurance, Susan Bayh is making millions serving on the boards of several huge corporations, including WellPoint. The influence of this cash flow on Sen. Bayh’s voting record is obvious. Now he says he will consider not voting for cloture on a Senate health bill. He is willing to sabotage the democratic process in the Senate because he can’t overlook the millions of dollars he has taken from the insurance industry. It is time Bayh comes back to Indiana because he no longer represents the voters who once trusted him.
