Two things from Rep. Eric Cantor. First is an appearance on The O’Reilly Factor that I thought I’d post, in case you missed it last week. Laura Ingraham filled in for O’Reilly and pressed Rep. Cantor on his commitment to, among other things, repealing ObamaCare. This is an issue we’ve been highlighting on this blog, [...]
From Real Clear Politics, this article shows us our future under ObamaCare, if we fail to repeal it. This has already been tried before with disastrous results, both in Canada and Massachusetts. The author writes With health care now effectively "free" -- that is, paid for by other taxpayers -- Canadians began visiting the doctor [...]
We received the following update from Attorney General Cuccinelli today on the status of the health care lawsuit. Pay careful attention to the credit he gives to the Virginia Tea Party movement at the end! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 8, 2010 Dear Friends, Okay folks, last week was a busy week with the health care ruling (which [...]

Democrats concerned about forcing some people to subsidize other people's lifestyles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUkzV8h3Wp0&feature=related Next clip: Obama. "Penalties are appropriate for people who try to free-ride the system and force others to pay for their health insurance..." Yes, let's stop all subsidies, ALL subsidies, right now, and impose penalties for people [...]
In case you need further evidence that the Tea Party movement and the enthusiasm for repealing ObamaCare aren’t shirking, but instead growing, consider the following: "The citizens of the Show-Me State don't want Washington involved in their health care decisions," said Sen. Jane Cunningham, R-Chesterfield, one of the sponsors of the legislation that put Proposition [...]
Another Virginia congressman -- Frank R. Wolfe -- joined in the effort to repeal ObamaCare. Please think him for helping fight this massive expansion of government power that will ultimately cost We the People much of our money and, more importantly, our liberty. The discharge petition now has 139 of the 218 congressman needed to [...]
You may have heard that Rep. Eric Cantor has decided to sign Rep. Steve King’s discharge petition to repeal ObamaCare. I’d like to say, “Great!”, but unfortunately, there may be reason to believe his true intentions are hidden and completely different from what he’s publicly stating. Erick Erickson from RedState offers his stark analysis of the [...]
Legislation to repeal ObamaCare was introduced in the House (H.R. 4972), but of course Nancy Pelosi won’t allow a vote, knowing it might actually pass now that the original bill didn’t gain the popularity those who voted for it promised it would. It’s actually gotten worse over time. But there’s a way around this she [...]
Don't forget to watch Attorney General Cuccinelli's live webcast TONIGHT at 8pm, to get an update on Virginia's lawsuit against nationalized health care. It will be a great lesson on our Constitutional history. He will also talk about how the Health Care Freedom Act (that RTP joined with other conservative groups in Virginia to pass) gives [...]
We’ve been tracking the meltdown of Greece and the European economy on this blog, which has all happened, of course, because of out of control government spending. And because our politicians are following the same path for America, all we have to do is look to Europe to see our future. We have just passed [...]
True conservatives are usually in the "smaller government is better government" camp. Having more and more people being employed directly by the government will only make it harder to improve that government, as those government employees will be hesitant to vote in a manner that will negatively affect them. For example, when sanity hopefully again regains [...]
What a fitting coincidence that the DVD version of Tim Burton’s "Alice in Wonderland" movie was released last week, and the Senate also passed that strange financial reform bill! Starting with the ObamaCare mess, and now with this most recent piece of ill-begotten legislation, I feel like Alice, fallen down a rabbit hole and into [...]
