As we begin to hear about how terrible the republicans are due to their concern about the debt ceiling, I thought some perspective may be in order.

The House of Representatives yesterday, by a 245-189 vote, passed landmark legislation for the repeal of the governmental overreach known as Obamacare. Votes in favor included three Democrats, although Virginia’s Dems voted “nay”. It may help to take time for a call or note to those who have honored well-considered campaign promises. We should [...]

The Food Safety Bill, which passed the Senate on Tuesday, is in serious jeopardy, because that pesky Constitution (Article 1, Section 7, specifically) tripped up Harry Reid (again). From RollCall: A food safety bill that has burned up [...]
We warned you that the lame duck session after the election would be the Big Government advocates' last hoorah to jam through as much of their wish list as they could before finally being checked by a new Congress in 2011. And it has begun. Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid has promised to bring the [...]
We just received the following email from Mark Mix at National Right to Work. Please act immediately! Harry Reid launched a sneak attack late last week to ram through the speech-killing "Disclose Act." The key vote to end debate and vote on the "Disclose Act" will be late Monday or early Tuesday.

Pelosi/Reid/Obama have decided to move forward on the health care bill despite the majority of Americans being against this power grab at controlling 1/6 of the US economy.
