Speaker Ryan’s Opportunity to Reflect the Will of the People
It’s good to see Republicans in Washington just might be finally wising up to what grassroots Americans have been shouting from the heartland for years: our nation is off its Constitutional mooring, adrift in a land of corrupt bureaucracies and power-hungry politicians seeking more power instead of solutions to our nation’s greatest problems.

September 11, Flight 93, and the Power of Self Governance
On September 11, 2001, the first successful counterattack of our long war against Islamic jihad was launched not by the United States military but by a small, spontaneously-formed, self-governing group of American citizens who possessed the courage to fight back. As the years pass since 9/11, it’s vital that we not forget what occurred in […]

Hollywood Against Big Government: Vince Vaughn’s Prescient Words About Gun Ownership
Hollywood has long had a hypocritical relationship with guns.

Civil Asset Forfeiture Case Has a Happy Ending
Legal battles against the government don’t often have a happy ending – but we’re so glad that in Carole Hinders’ case, it did!

Jonathan Gruber. Sadly, he’s become a household name – and even trended on Twitter – since his comments about Obamacare were unearthed.
