Dion's Daily Dose

Today Donovan will join us for a special event. We'll talk to him about what our system of government is (Republic) despite all the claims otherwise. We'll talk about the differences between a Constitutional Republic and a direct Democracy. This came up due to a discussion we had today and a question he asked me. After answering the question I recommended we have a more in-depth discussion online...

Last night was the South County Community Coalition's monthly meeting and it was there that I learned that the Election Division was having a special meeting today. The meeting was about two early voting locations- Coolspring and Wanatah locations. Wow. That's really all I can say. I can't wait until Justin Kiel writes about this. Oh my. To say it was a wild ride is an understatement. Join me for...

We have all 3 locations secured for the Watch Party/Meet and Greet events. 9/29 Chesterton at the American Legion 10/15 Westville at the American Legion 10/22 Michigan City at the DAV We're working on getting all events on Facebook and Eventbrite. I'll share with you how it will work and what to expect. It's also the Night of the Karens. Top Karens from across the country (maybe the world). I find...

There are some loud voices on social media that are very displeased with our current Governor. What if Holcomb isn't re-elected? What if Meyers wins? What if history is made and a 3rd party candidate wins? What would that mean for the state? What would that mean for the General Assembly? Could a Democrat make things worse? Indiana's Governor has powers assigned by the General Assembly. Austin and...

Today I attended a #BackTheBlue rally in Portage. We had a number of interesting interactions with people. Most positive. A few negative. Nothing physical. As a matter of fact I made several interesting observations. People are quick to make assumptions. Mark Leyva (R) Candidate for 1st District Congress was there as well. He stayed for a little while then had to leave. I'll tell you all about it....

We have some special guests this evening. Indiana NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) joins us to talk about their ongoing efforts to re-legalize cannabis in the state of Indiana and federally. We'll get to ask them about their mission, why they think so many legislators are either openly against it or drag their feet on legislation, and talk about the mountains of resea...

Wrapping up the last bit of preparation for tomorrow's watch party and meet & greet event. It will be in Chesterton at the American Legion. The event starts at 7 and the debate shenanigans begin at 8. The event will be streamed to the standard platforms- YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter. The team will be on hand for Q&A and general hilarity. This isn't an overly somber and dour event. We're...

It's been a crazy few days. My apologies for the lack of videos but I think tonight will make up for it. I got a mailer from my opponent today. Do people still waste money on that? Apparently. The funny part isn't the mailer, it's what it says. I'll fill you in tonight. My opponent finally got around to getting a website. This is a recent thing because I've been looking for a while and this just h...

Signs are ready! I have a limited number so message me as soon as possible to make sure you secure one. Tonight was the debate for District 1. Ouch. We'll talk about it. If you haven't seen it, you really should. 🤦‍♂️ My opponent and I both answered questions asked to us by the Chesterton Tribune and the difference couldn't be greater.

So, my new camera came in. It isn't as high quality as the one on my phone but it is HD. I'd like your opinion on which one I should use for my live streams. The second Presidential Debate is not going to happen. We have a party scheduled. Let's talk about options... Also, I'm locked out of my Twitter account. Twitter sucks.

A little different format today. I welcome everyone to join my show and weigh in on your candidate. Governor Holcomb is running for re-election. Let's talk about his accomplishments and the huge challenges he's faced with the pandemic. He has had to make some difficult decisions. Some have been extremely unpopular. Does that mean he shouldn't get re-elected? Let's talk about it. Donald Trump has b...

Tonight I'm going to take you through my journey as an over-the-road truck driver and trainer and why I became a Correctional Officer. I'm also going to tell you about why I am so in favor of Medical Cannabis. I know what it's like to writhe in pain and have no hope. I know what it's like to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt because of medical bills. My story resonates with a lot of peop...

We have a special guest. Rachel Kessler will be joining us. Rachel is the Indiana State Director for USTL, the organization that is full speed ahead for term limits. The vast majority of Hoosiers (and Americans for that matter) are in favor of term limits. I signed a pledge to support term limits but this isn't about me. This is about the progress for term limits. How it's coming, what's going on...

This election is more important than any in my lifetime. Record numbers of people have registered to vote. Do they know who they are voting for? There's a lot of focus on the Presidential race this year (perhaps rightly so), but do you know about the people down ballot? Do you think most people do? Every position is important. From school board to State Representative to President. Every single on...

Face to Face: Dion and Shawn break down the arguments in front of the SCOTUS in the case of Johnson vs. Grants Pass, the lawsuit involving the criminalization of homeless by assigning fines. Although the city of Grant's Pass calls it a ban on "camping", many have spoken out against it, and are eagerly watching the outcome of this case. This case could have far-reaching consequences for cities look...

#DionsDailyDose will focus on Thursday's Republican debate. We were given one minute to respond to questions and I would like to expand on some answers. We'll also talk about how I think it went and I'll get into something that I didn't get the chance to during the debate: Health Care! Tune in to learn about how we can have a system that keeps the free market perks without continuing to make us go...

Dion's Daily Dose: The Home Health Care industry is often overlooked and seldom talked about. There are 76 home health care agencies in Lake County alone, 17 in Porter County, and 36 in LaPorte County. That's just the direct service providers. There are far more jobs that expand outward from those. I'll get into the numbers a little bit but we won't be focusing on a bunch of data. We'll be talking...

#DionsDailyDose We will talk about endorsements (both good and bad), the SignGate Drama continues, and Chess vs. Checkers in the voting booth. I've heard from a lot more people about the debate, their impressions, and how their opinions have or have not changed for candidates. We'll cover that and more. We'll also be talking about the big push for the last 7 days. Follow Dion’s Daily Dose on Socia...

5 Days left until the Primary election! What these next few days will look like. Lake County Alert! If you live in Lake County, you need to be aware of something that's happening in your government. I'll explain in detail but it involves the Solar Farm that was reported about in the NWI Times. Every resident should be aware of what's happening. I was contacted about it and want to tell you what I'...

We have a protest beginning right up the street from me and friends' homes. I pray it stays peaceful. I'll talk about that as well as a few other things.

Pre-Primary Special Event: The #DionForCongress team will be live to answer any questions you might have before casting your vote tomorrow in our Primary. We'll tell you about our Thank You event, our plans win or lose, and what we're looking forward to in the General Election. This will also be your chance to ask me any lingering questions you may have after watching the Republican Debate, the En...

The Primary Election is over. The issues at play in it will take a long time to put to rest, but what's happening the meantime? The show must go on. Dion's Daily Dose has grown out of a movement that YOU helped to create. I'm not about to give up on it now. While U.S. Congress isn't meant to be for me (at least not in 2020), I'm okay with that. What's next? What's the plan and how will it be imple...
