We have learned all too well that Americans’ regard for lessons in history goes back as far as yesterday’s lunch. Nevertheless, we stand watch on the precipice in hopes that this great republic will not go the way of the last one. And in that spirit we ready ourselves with a sobering recollection of those immortalized words…
About 100 students, faculty and members of the community filled a lecture hall at rural Wingate University in Wingate, North Carolina to hear Houston Baptist University Provost and former Assistant Administrator for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Dr. Paul Bonicelli speak about democracy around the world. The program, funded by a grant [...]
For those who are seriously concerned about government intrusion into our health care, the latest question on many minds is “What do we do if this thing passes?” As the battle rages in Congress over passage of health care reform legislation, many state and local leaders are looking ahead at ways for states to [...]
A good friend of mine recently quipped, “We have to hold government accountable. But if we don’t know what they’re doing in the government, how can we hold them accountable?”
Standing outside in the cold for several hours is an uncommon occurrence and yes, even in Minnesota, most would consider this to be a bit crazy. When asked by friends in warmer climates how do you handle the cold, my response is pretty simple – we just stay out of it. It is no wonder [...]
It has now been a week since Arkansas’ filing deadline has passed, and a lot of things are just beginning to sink in. For instance, there are 71 (and counting) American Majority alumni who are candidates for office.

First of all, I’m not afraid of the tea party movement. In fact, I embrace most of them (save those with crazy conspiracy theories) because [...]
There are only a few movies I really, really enjoy watching. Among them is Amistad. After all, I’m a history buff (particularly of antiquity and of the American founding era) as well as a political junky. So it comes as no surprise that I see all sorts of political metaphors on the silver screen. And [...]
Ralph Benko, Washington Examiner Op-Ed Contributor and author of the book The Websters’ Dictionary: How to Use the Web to Transform the World, talked about his efforts to increase on-line activism with conservatives.
He makes some very interesting points about changing Rule 20 and returning representation to the states. What do you think? Is this a [...]
I’m impressed by the Truth or Dare Blog in North Carolina, run by those who lead the Outer Banks Tea Party. Recently they started digging around, wondering why local politicians were getting somewhat extraordinary contributions from very ordinary people with ordinary jobs. Things could get very interesting with this story, but it highlights something: what [...]

At American Majority, we believe that change must begin at the local level, through engaged citizens effectively implementing freedom. We believe that individual liberty is achieved through limited government and free markets. We believe in lowering the barrier to entry for citizen participation in our republic. By training candidates and activists to be effective today, we are enhancing America's tomorrow.
