After the economy crashed, Indiana families were struggling. We turned to Senator Evan Bayh to protect us from the Washington insiders and Wall Street bankers, who got us into that mess. But instead of going to work for us, Evan Bayh went to work for them. Making millions as a big money influence-peddler in D.C. and cashed with the Big Banks. When we needed a Senator the most, Evan Bayh left us to work for them.
