Indianapolis —
Wife and Mom Misty Bryant is in the grocery store picking out produce for her family and getting ready for the week."Yes I would like to see alcohol available on Sunday because that's when I shop," said Bryant.
"Mostly for sporting events. It's hard during football season to make sure to get beer on Saturday."
"We have 25,000 people who have already signed an online petition," said Grant Monahan spokesman for Hoosiers for Beverage Choices.
Monahan says it's the second round of their push to get Hoosiers to support expansion for alcohol sales in the state.

A summer study is planned by a committee of state legislators. Expansion could mean around $8 million in additional sales tax receipts according to supporters.
Legislators pushed off a proposal during the spring session but a bill could come back when legislators reconvene in the fall. Not everyone supports expansion of alcohol sales.
"Sunday is a day of worship," said Alice Lashley a member of Calvary Bible Wesleyan Church in Plainfield. "I think people have done so much to dishonor the Lord this would just be another thing."
Reverend Mark Dodrill agrees.
"I say shame on Hoosiers. I'm saddened so many have signed a petition to let it happen on Sunday."
