Calling Out Politicians who do the Right Things
As much as it is important to focus on calling out people who abuse public office, it is just as important to praise and affirm politicians who are doing the right thing. Take a moment and think about the politicians that you admire. When’s the last time you thanked them for voting the right way, or being a role model of integrity?
An Untold Story from the City of New London
There was another situation that happened in New London that was far more personal to my family. You won’t find it in any newspaper clipping or archived local news broadcast. It’s a story that, as I got older and did more research on the issue, I found out that we were not alone in an unconstitutional abuse of power.

He’s confident, he’s eager – he’s a newbie.
Turns out Lebron James is just like the rest of us
Many factors surely played into Lebron’s decision. Yet, when all was said and done, it turns out that Lebron is just like the rest of us. He’s an entrepreneur who wants what’s best for himself and his family and wants to try and be the best in the vocation he has chosen.
Does Anyone Have a Testimony?
Perhaps the only label that seems more oxymoronic than New England Conservative is New England Pentecostal. Growing up in a small city along the coast, it didn’t take my long to realize that I believed different than those around me.
Corporate Liberty versus Individual Liberty
“The whole is greater than the sum of its parts” is a quote that many of us might be familiar with. It is usually attributed to Aristotle in his work Metaphysics, although a careful investigation indicates that this is, perhaps, a very loose paraphrase at best.

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.
