Congratulations on a tremendous victory on Tuesday!  And thank you all for your help in getting Scott Brown elected to [...]

There is a common phrase that “you can’t legislate morality.”  Here I will touch on why this is no longer the case.
In conversation with my wife the other day I defined myself as a libertarian (small ‘l’). The thought then raced through my head that in saying I am a libertarian I in no [...]

Congress is moving closer to a showdown over the largest expansion of
government in modern U.S. history — a bill which would require
virtually every single American to buy government-approved health
insurance, whether they wanted it or not.  And, in the process, that
bill would feed all of your most confidential medical data into an
enormous database, which could be [...]

First, Senator Arlen Specter provided the instrumental Republican
support to get anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder confirmed by the
Senate.
Then, he singlehandedly pushed through the massive economic bailout, the
so-called stimulus bill, which contained several provisions of concern
to gun owners.
So it comes as no surprise that liberal anti-gun Specter, who has no
loyalty to the Constitution, also has no [...]

Friends,
As I mentioned in my last email, we had a temporary success when Rep. Paymar could not muster the votes needed to put his anti-Second amendment provisions on to another bill in committee several weeks ago.  Unfortunately, Rep. Paymar has not given up in his effort to erode our Second Amendment rights.
Last night in the [...]

My wife forwarded this email to me today.  It speaks for itself
Guess our national leaders didn’t expect this, hmm? On Thursday, Darrell Scott, the father of Rachel Scott, a victim of the Columbine High School shootings in Littleton , Colorado , was invited to address the House Judiciary Committee’s subcommittee. What he said to our [...]

I did not attend a tea party yesterday.  I was busy working on my taxes all day and during that time contemplated weather or not to go.  In the end I decided not to.  Not because I don’t believe in the movement but because I don’t think the people supporting it provide any support for [...]

The White House yesterday released the Federal 1040 form for the President and First lady.  At first glance it becomes quite apparent why the president speaks so much about fairness.
The Obamas had an Adjusted Gross Income of nearly $2.7M and $172k in charitable gifts.  That is a giving rate of 6.4%
Former President George W. Bush’s [...]

Not sure how far it will go this year but a House and Senate “stand your ground” bill is making some moves.  Next year being an election year may see better results but it’s nice to see them introduced.  Doesn’t mean it’s too early to contact your Reps and let them know you’re behind it.

Due to nonsense legislation like this, I can now carry my firearms anywhere in the state except for schools, Federal buildings and the woods by my house – make sense of that.

Dear Marc:
Thank you for letting me know of your support for H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act.

Like you, I am concerned about transparency and accountability issues surrounding the Federal Reserve.  This is especially true at this time when the Federal Reserve is exercising the “unusual circumstances” authority it was given when established and expanding [...]

Smart Polics brings us an analysis of the latest SurveyUSA poll on Obama’s approval ratings.
SurveyUSA’s latest round of approval ratings for President Barack Obama have been released for a dozen states across the country, in polling conducted March 20-22 of 600 adults in each state.
Although the President has had a consistently higher job performance rating [...]

I found an old documentary from 1994.  Larry Pratt hosts and discusses many historical issues regarding the constitution, founding fathers and of course the second amendment.

This week Secretary of State Hillary Clinton jumped on with Atorney General Eric Holder and President Obama’s statements that American gun stores are supplying weapons to Mexican drug trafficers.
“Our inability to prevent weapons from being illegally smuggled across the border to arm these criminals causes the deaths of police officers, soldiers and civilians.” Said Sec. [...]

Who is really at fault in the recent AIG fraud?  The people of this country and the Congress are being convinced the Government had to step in because the ramifications were global and the image of the U.S. would suffer.
When a U.S. corporation sells internationally, who is responsible for the purchases?  Does the buyer not [...]

Keep holding the flame Michelle!

We already knew Holder’s ban was a non-starter but last week we received more preemptive news against talks of a ban.
From NRA-ILA
Sixty-five House Democrats said Wednesday that they would oppose any attempt by the Obama administration to revive a ban on military-style weapons that President Bill Clinton signed into law in 1994 and President George [...]

Since I live near a National Wildlife Refuge, I take frequent runs through the various trails and regularly carry a firearm while I do.  Last Thursday a U.S. District Judge ruled I can no longer protect myself while in the refuge.  Apparently, my carrying a firearms on me affects the environment in some manner.
I can [...]

With the Obama White House and others pushing for new forms of gun controls, Independent Institute Research Fellow Stephen P. Halbrook was recently interviewed by Glenn Beck on Fox News Channel on the new efforts to force gun owners to purchase a $1 million insurance policy in order to have Second Amendment rights.
Dr. Halbrook is [...]
