This week, it came to light that SEIU, AFSME and the Democrats will try to use the Tea Party movement and reverse psychology against Republicans in 2010. The liberal, union strategy became clear in Illinois when a group surfaced calling itself “The Tea Party Is Over” funded almost entirely by union money. The [...]

When ACORN was caught stacking voter rolls with fake names leading up to the 2008 election, we stood up and took notice. Maybe an aberration, maybe part of a plan to undermine our system of elections. On Election Day, Black Panthers were inside a Pennsylvania polling station intimidating voters. They ultimately [...]

It is hard to believe that Primary Day is just hours away.  Every election is important — and this one is especially important.  The winner of the Primary will take on very liberal Bill Foster, who agrees philosophically, and votes rather consistently, with the Pelosi-Obama agenda.

While the United States continues to accept the reality of Trillion Dollar deficits, President Obama, Congressman Bill Foster, and the Democrat-controlled Congress continue to propose gimmicks and distractions when meaningful budget cuts are needed.
