Post-Racial Preference America
November 10, 2008
Two things are evident from the 2008 election. The first is that the American people voted for change, embodied in President-Elect Barack Obama.

An ACORN Falls from the Tree
September 29, 2008
As negotiations over Congress's emergency rescue bill continued over the weekend, repeated rumors leaked out that the Democrats were trying to funnel money to a hyper-partisan organization involved in criminal voter fraud. I'm speaking of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now -- known by its acronym, ACORN. Although ACORN was cut from the final legislation, it's important to understand this organization and its long history with, of all people, Barack Obama. And it's important to see how partisan this emergency legislation has become. read more

Conservatives are divided today as never before, at the very moment the Left has matched and surpassed our traditional advantages in organization and action.

As the conservative revolutions of 1980 and 1994 fade into distant memories, Bill and Hillary Clinton are preparing their triumphant return to the White House.

Only one thing can stop liberals from fulfilling their Leftist agenda -- a grassroots conservative action and information network capable of reuniting our movement and restoring our majority.
