Under the “About Us” tab, they specifically say that “trade associations such as the Indiana Petroleum Council, the Indiana Petroleum Marketers & Convenience Store Association, and the Indiana Retail Council support this coalition.” They are more forthcoming that many other similar efforts that I have seen.<BR/><BR/>And above it all, they are simply providing an avenue for the average Hoosier to share his or her support by signing the online petition. Sure, HBC has set-up the website, but the 10,000+ Hoosiers that have signed up are the ones driving the train.dsaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882485263970309548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-67545085340016211462008-08-27T15:25:00.000-04:002008-08-27T15:25:00.000-04:00Great!

He wants to take his team of 3 to a good dinner while there. Although I was born and raised in the Bay Area I haven't lived there for (ahem) 20-some years and the restaurant biz has changed just a smidge since then! Do you have any recommendations? He is looking to spend about $100/person.<BR/><BR/>Also, there is a chance of a day trip to Napa. If they have their choice of 1 winery to visit which do you think they should hit?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503605264560532931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704477.post-57256152792269197952008-08-26T21:27:00.000-04:002008-08-26T21:27:00.000-04:00*I* thought it was obvious, but I've been seeing b...*I* thought it was obvious, but I've been seeing bloggers and the media covering them like it's a folksy little grass roots effort.
