If you weren't aware, 2010 primary elections are coming up on Tuesday, May 18th. Get out and vote! The primaries are very important, especially with the political climate as it is right now. It has never been more important to participate in this process of voting. I've heard many discussions about how unimportant primaries are compared to November. This is not true!You're much more likely

Why we've stopped teaching the U.S. Constitution in schools is beyond me. I charge anyone reading this with children to ask their school not if but WHEN they'll be covering the U.S. Constitution and participate with your child in learning the history of this great document. It is our mission statement as a country, our values clarification. It staggers my mind that there some immigrants know

There is so much wrong with the status-quo that it's difficult for the average American to wade through all the political banter and get to the facts. We're bombarded with distractions from both sides. Here are just a few of the issues distracting all of us (myself included) from what's *really* important right now:Nuclear SecuritySupreme Court JudgesDon't Ask - Don't TellUnemploymentWall

Over the past few days, President Barack Obama has gestured to the center on some issues. I applaud the president for being presidential and encourage this activity to continue. However, it must be noted that these gestures are 'too little, too late' when it comes to the 2012 election.The president visited Afganistan on Sunday and spoke to our troops there. This was the president's first visit

Republicans across the nation are banding together with the People to say 'No more, Madam Speaker!'My conservative friends, we all know there is a problem in our representative office when the approval rating of the speaker dips so very low! Our friends on the left side of the aisle can't be expected to do anything about this, however. So they're rooting for us silently, but it's up to us to

There is talk all around our great nation about 'RINO hunting' this November. So what is a RINO? ...and why should I care?RINO, put simply, is an acronym for 'Republican in Name Only.' Some liberal bloggers and politicians would have you believe this is an unfair labeling movement to be avoided in your local district. What many of these bloggers miss is the movement driving all this, and that

Friends, we are all concerned about the state of our country right now. These are very real and valid concerns. However, there are those on both sides of the aisle that are distracting attention from what is important right now. Granted, these attempts at distraction are weighted more on one side than the other, but still, they exist and should be acknowledged.We're concerned that a National
