Is it really about ethics reform?
September 29th, 2009

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. Using questions like “You want ethical legislators, don’t you“, they are out promoting new legislation with the promise that this [...]

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 [...]

President Obama recently gave a speech on the need for vast changes in the regulation of financial institutions. In his speech, he made the claim that he “knew that there were millions of Americans who signed contracts that they didn’t always understand offered by lenders [...]

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.

The Boston Freedom Trail
September 18th, 2009
