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…

The States are putting on the press thru Democrats (and lots of Republicans) for more revenue for various boondoogles and cronyism. They got tax increase thru the Fiscal Cliff on a Federal level and now are pushing for an Internet Tax to gain more revenue on a State level.

Some "conservatives" have stated that no Internet sales tax is an unfair advantage. I agree BUT the solution is to abolish the demand for sales tax by deeply and immediately cutting govt spending on a…

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.…

Today is the vote for a "Closed Rule" that prevents amendments to the CR (Continuing Resolution) to defund Obamacare. http://beforeitsnews.com/opinion-conservative/2013/03/key-vote-no-on-a-closed-rule-for-the-continuing-resolution-demand-an-open-rule-2593432.html

Tell your Representatives to vote NO against the Closed…

The hysteria about Sequestration this Friday that cuts the growth rate of spending is a farce that should be shared with friends and family. Let everyone in on the "joke". The federal budget will grow by $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years rather than $2.5 trillion.  Washington DC wants more of your money because the Fed is getting closer to printing money so they can…

Boehner, Cantor and McCarthy badly lost their States and the election. They chose like McCain before to look to their cronies to win the election and they lost, again. This is truly a failed formula. We must deeply and immediately cut govt and regs and these folks haven't demonstrated that they have the will and commitment to get the job done.

It's time to let them go and vote conservative leadership into power. All…

Dear Partiots,

Please see the below message from RedState:

The purge of conservatives from key committees last week was not a natural disaster.  It was perpetrated by leadership with the help of the rest of the 31 members on the Steering Committee.  They all need to hear from us.

Let’s take a step back and analyze what occurred last week.  It is not a normal occurrence for incumbent members in good standing to be thrown off their committees without…

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…

Dear Patriots,

Call your Representatives to hold the line on spending. Here is a brief summary from "The Hill" of what they'll likely be discussing:

Yesterday we joined over 20 other organizations in a letter to Congress, asking members to respect the spending restraint agreed last year in the Budget Control Act of 2011.

November 8, 2012

Dear Member of Congress:

We the undersigned organizations, representing millions of Americans dedicated to fiscal responsibility, urge you stand firm and hold the line on the budget sequester set forth in the Budget Control Act of 2011. With the federal…

Scott Walker won because he actually cut govt and union control. We retained much of the Tea Party gains and gained more limited government intiatives at the State level and seats in the House and Senate (welcome Ted Cruz!). Now we must demand candidates at all levels that will do the same. Big Government GOP lost big. http://www.redstate.com/2012/11/07/status-quo-ante/ …

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 left has come out swing at the Vice Presidential pick of Paul Ryan. Below find a good review of what Paul Ryan has done while in Congress along with the progressive Media Matter's opposition research.

In response to the left's attack of his fondness for Ayn Rand, given he is a Catholic he can more accurately be defined as a person who believes in God, Natural Law. Founding principles and Ayn…

You didn't read the title incorrectly. That is Barney Frank to all who are horrified by Dodd/Frank. I personally support an action to overturn this unconstitutional beaurocratic expansion and intervention that institutionalizes bailouts.

However, as a native of Washington DC who sees the political money laundering in EVERY budget item, I gladly join this bi-partisan effort in urging our Representatives to support the Mulvaney-Frank Amendment that maintains base military…

The Fallacious Argument of Barak Obama.

Obama argues that fascism (Cronyism) is a reason for small businesses to pay more tax. Only Fascism (Crony Capitalism thru Usurpation of State, Local and Individual responsibilities directly or indirectly thru "private companies" harms the real job creators NOT the "political entrepreneurs", the professional rent seekers.

Unsubsidized small business owners always pay forward as mentors. The first part of what Obama said…

ACTION ALERT: Call the 20 Senate Republicans who are apparently set to uphold the the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), or who have not yet decided. They are Enzi, McConnell, Hutchison, Toomey, Johanns, Ayotte, Graham, McCain, Lugar, Kirk, Snowe, Collins, Murkowski, Isakson, Grassley, Portman, Corker, Cochran, Brown, and Alexander.

"Americans despise taxes.  After all, one of the key issues that paved the way for the American Revolution was the…
