Is it really about ethics reform?

September 29th, 2009

Or is it about power and control? To listen to the folks promoting the citizen’s initiative for ethical government, anyone who does not swallow their proposed bill does not want to see ethical behavior.

Washington DC March on 9.12 / A Utahn's Account

September 22nd, 2009

by Jacqueline Smith
The 9.12 march on Washington was a wonderful, peaceful event.  I had many emotions while I was there.  
We drove into Maryland on Friday night before the March.  There were activities planned as early as Thursday, but our family opted to spend the time seeing other places, like the Freedom Trail in Boston, that [...]

Returning to our ROOTS

September 19th, 2009

Grassroots that is!
At today’s training meeting for state GOP county chairs and vice-chairs, political director Kitty Dunn spent an hour teaching – and reminding – county party leaders how Republicans will win in 2010.

By now you’ve heard of the 9-12 rally in Washington DC, right? (Even though the White House said they knew nothing about it, nor who the “group” was that organized it). The Daily Kos – a VERY liberal blog – came out and said that pictures showing large crowds were actually pics of [...]
