Millions Here, Hunger There~
I have no idea the political ideology of this group, Arkansas Advocates for Children and Families but this study is sure bothersome Arkansas Schools Stockpiling Millions Intended for Poor Students considering other studies in recent days. Particularly that Arkansas children rank third in the nation with 26.9 percent living in poverty in 2009, according to…

Read MoreBoozman Supports Earmark Ban~
As I stated on Friday in the post “Change or Argument” Senator Elect John Boozman did exactly what Arkansans hired him to do~ Read the bill and stand with his constituents.

Read MoreConservatives Need to Show Leadership
As we move into the next legislative cycle and calendar year throughout this country, conservatives need to step it up a notch. They need to get past the campaign mode and into the legislative mode. The American people are looking for leadership, they are looking for real solutions and if they don’t like what they see and hear, well, we know what happens next.
Read MoreWhat You Know Matters
My colleagues have posted recently about the importance of the upcoming city council and school board elections; here in Kansas, we’ll be voting on those local individuals representing us in April and now is the time to start thinking about solid, conservative candidates who can carry the people’s voices. Changing the world starts in our…
Read MoreSchool House Rocks – Pt 1
As my colleague Matt Batzel has commented, with the most historic election in a generation behind us, the electoral heavy lifting has only just begun. Tea Party folks took to the streets and then to the polls to rightly protest our egregious out-of-control government in Washington. But that fervor needn’t end with Washington.
Read MoreArkansas~ Can They Hear Us Now?
Conservatives picked up all 7 contested state Senate races and 16 new House seats in last week’s election. The Arkansas Republican Party now holds 45 State House seats, 15 Senate Seats, 3 State Constitutional Offices, 1 U.S. Senate seat and 3 U.S. Congressional seats; an historic high for the chronically entrenched Democratic state of Arkansas. There were…
Read MoreWisconsin Conservatives – The Battle Has Just Begun
Conservatives won across the board in Wisconsin last night. But the battle has just begun. We cannot just assume that those who we elected will represent our conservative values because of their party identification. We must now hold them accountable. The liberals are not going to lie down and accept that Wisconsin is a conservative state. They are going to fight back. We cannot take time off or stop paying attention. The battle continues on to the spring local elections and then to the 2012 elections. Within 2 short months another important date will have arrived.
Read MoreThe End of the Tea Party?
Today, many of the incumbents and political elite who were mystified by the public uprising of the Tea Party are leaving office just as bewildered. After nearly two years of rallies, activist, and electioneering the Tea Party Movement has done what many on the left and in the media thought impossible. They united together on…
Read MoreSan Francisco’s Final Victory
I am always amazed at the parallels between baseball and politics. Perhaps it is because I have worked in politics for several years and been a baseball fan far longer. Or perhaps it is because baseball is quintessentially American (with apologies to places where the sport was exported like Japan and the Caribbean). It is…
Read MoreThe Absurdity of ABC News and Andrew Breitbart
So Andrew Breitbart was asked by ABC News to be part of its broadcast for election night, but also to be part of its townhall in Arizona. But then the left flipped out and the George Soros-funded Media Matters started whining in yet another attempt to quell views that are opposite to its leftist, statist…
Read MoreAt the Ballot Box or the Battle Field~
Where do the candidates you are voting for stand on the issues? Think it’s not important? You might want to think again? Only 64 days until the Bush Tax Cuts expire, what will it cost you? Calculate here. Cap-N-Trade is waiting in the wings for the newly elected to decide on when the settle into…
Read MoreHuh? What Fraud?
Great piece by Michelle Malkin on the Left’s whitewashing of obvious voter fraud — already rampant across the country a full week before the election — a list of offenses that make Iranian elections look legit. All the more reason to download AM’s new Voter Fraud App and catch ’em in the act…

Read MoreMake Those Phone Calls and Knock on Those Doors!
If you truly want to be a difference maker in this election than you NEED to sign up for one or multiple get-out-the-vote (GOTV) shifts that SHOULD be readily available at the campaign rallies you are attending. Even though momentum is on the side of conservatives, races across the country at every level will go down to the wire. Reaching as many undecided or leaning voters through personal phone calls or door-knocking is of the utmost importance at this critical juncture for campaigns.

Read MoreBalanced Budget? NOT~
While Arkansas bureaucrats like to proclaim our state has a “balanced budget,” our check book seems to tell a different story. According to US Government Spending.com our state has an estimated $15.8 Billion in state and local debt. (see website for details) The most exasperating part of this debt is that it has been accrued with the consent of…

In devotion to the unreal insanity that plagues our world each day I am starting a new “alert” called the “Perpetuation of Idiocy Alert” Each day I awake to a new level of unbelievable lunacy, wondering if maybe “Alice in Wonderland” was really non-fiction. Today I read this headline~ “Game & Fish agency looks to…
Read MoreThe Election Is Already Here
I was reminded today of an important truth: policy is enacted by those who win politically. Who wins politically? The ones who do the work. Look, I know it’s not glamorous, making phone calls asking your neighbors to get out and vote. And I know that as enjoyable as I find it, most people do…
