Having grown up in Washington DC where the pathology of the War of Poverty decimated the black non-government population who were subjects to their bretheren, I am particularly alarmed by the enablers who personally wouldn't work in a meat factory and project that on welfare recipients and don't want to "deal" with those newly motivated to work at any job because social welfare has been cut.

Erick Erikson sadly mimics this behavior in his piece here as to why we should have…

You'll here next week about gun control legislation. See here the summary of the Manchin/Toomey compromise: http://www.toomey.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=965 To me it appears to clean up some processes to catch up with technology, reduce the cost and burden for Conceal Carry buyers and sellers and doesn't infringe on person to person sales. It will be tough to fight it given the mental health issues present in the…

For those attending CPAC2013, Tea Party WDC is sponsoring BlogBash Thursday night. For those that wish to attend, please send me an email so I can get you on the list. I've seven tickets remaining. It has never been more important to support investigative journalism and the promotion of limited government solutions. We need the same cooperative action that the progressives implement daily thru taxpayer and crony supported organizations.

Here are the details of the event.…

Wow, lots is going on on Capitol Hill. To Summarize:

John Boehner purge some retail conservatives. Why do I call them that? Everyone picks their topics and hammers it home to feed their grassroots. Different parts of the Country have different characteristics and interests and the Representatives themselves have their personalities thrown in the mix. What is most important is that they…

Thirty days to Election Day and absentee voting has begun. Local events are happening today in our neighborhoods to Get Out the Vote. Please join me in adopting a Christimas social schedule for manageable action for fundraisers, phone banking and neighborhood walking. I've also sent my Christmas list information to share to get out the vote thru absentee voting and activities they might want to participate in to ensure a fair elections.…

The Budget Control Act increases spending, opens us to more taxes, increases debt AND may take away our Representative Government through a "Super-Majority" committee which has more rights and responsibilities than our Representatives and hence we have possibly unequal representation as voters and citizens. The later idea should be explored though, if true, can't be addressed in a timely fashion.

Here is the Bill. The description of the Select Committee begins on page 51. What do you…

The below list is incomplete as the critical vote was on Friday BEFORE the Budget "Control" Act vote. Only 22 Congressman voted to hold the line for Cut, Cap and Balance - an imperfect Bill but one I was willing to promote because it indeed capped. If your Congressman is not on this list, they cut and ran. http://www.redstate.com/erick/2011/07/30/the-22-who-held-the-line/ …

Mitt Romney, the unapologetic author of Romneycare, a plan that is bankrupting Massachusetts, wants YOUR vote to fix monopoly universal, unconstitutional government run healthcare. He says he can make government work better. The State of Virginia has increased insurance mandates and subsidies to the point that health insurance is not affordable to independent, individual entreprenuers and small businesses at various points in the income spectrum. So what in Bill Bolling's mind should he do?…

Tea Party WDC has been sponsoring the Cut, Cap and Balance Pledge at www.CutCapBalanceAct.com See sponsors, pledge signers and the number of citizens who have pledged to support it. Some sponsors (listed below) and Legislators broke the Pledge. I've agreed to remain part of the coalition contingent upon the coalition NOT breaking the Pledge.

The Tea Party was heard and ignored in this Debt Ceiling fight. Our politicians were taking us 80 miles an hour off the cliff, Obama wanted to go 110 miles an hour and the GOP slowed it to 100 miles an hour.  This is a great opportunity for a post mortem and to think about future strategy. Knowledge allows us to treat the players in this…

Yesterday, the President signed into law the Budget Control Act of 2011, which provides for a total debt ceiling increase of between $2.1 trillion-$2.4 trillion, sets ten-year caps on discretionary spending, creates a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, and requires both houses of Congress to vote on a Balanced Budget Amendment. Below are key dates to keep in mind with regard to the legislation:

In the September issue of the "New Guard", Congressman Paul Ryan mapped out his plan to reclaim the American Idea. As a Tea Party leader it was necessary to respond with an alternative Tea Party Road Map. The most challenging task is to confront our ballooning and unsustainable entitlements and other…
