As expected, the path to justice in our IRS lawsuit will be bumpy. We learned Thursday that our consolidated lawsuit (41 groups) against the IRS for targeting the Richmond Tea Party was dismissed by the federal district court in DC (shocker, I know).

There's millions of dollars in funding that to-date can't be properly explained...and when I say "funding" I mean "your money". And school system spokesman Tim Bullis wasn't interested in answering [...]
Interesting article today on Conservative Review detailing how House Speaker John Boehner may be about to launch an attack on House conservatives. If the republicans pick up some House seats in November using squishy moderate candidates, Boehner may begin to get the numbers he needs to partner with democrats to ram through whatever part of [...]
