TU: Talent-laden council panel casts critical eye on Mayor Alvin Brown's plan

I have grave concerns about a couple of things I understand are part of Brown's "plan".  Apparently, Brown wants to be the filter on businesses receiving tax payer property tax money as incentives prior to anything going to the city council.  I see a problem with that as anyone who applies should receive fair and equal treatment as they have up until now when the city council considered each bill separately for it's merits or lack of them.  Allowing Brown to pick the winners and…

Arizona Daily Star: Camera network will focus on jaguars

We have the money to do this, but we don't have the money to close the border.  This is a total outrage and misuse of limited dollars.  Many believe this study will limit ranges for cattle farmers and also think it would be wise to do the study where there are larger numbers of the cats ( Up to five jaguars have been photographed in the region in the past 15 years, and those doing the study aren't sure if the cats…

More news on Newt from Ron Paul

 

I am going to describe a candidate for you right now, and I want you to think about whether or not you would support him.

This candidate was for the individual mandate that served as the model for "ObamaCare." He was originally for the TARP bank bailouts before he was against them. He joined with Nancy Pelosi to promote the anti-business "global warming" agenda.

He slammed Paul Ryan's budget plan as "extreme," calling it "right wing social engineering."

You…

Support President Obama

With that title I trust I have your attention on an important issue to those who support liberty over tyranny.  This week the Senate, with 44 Republicans including Marco Rubio, passed the Defense Authorization Bill which allows for unlimited detention of American Citizens accused  of supporting terrorism. 

 

This means that I, an American citizen, could be accused of supporting Al-Qaeda by either the President or Attorney General, arrested and shipped to Guantanamo Bay…

U.S. Military to go after U.S. Citizens? S-1867

 

 

Dear Billie,

 

 

Today, the Senator’s office received many emails and phone calls voicing concerns over the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012.  There have been many assertions made about these provisions, some of which could not be further from the truth.  It just so happens these outlandish accusations are from the ACLU and their allies in Congress.

 

 

First off, this bill does not allow the US military to supplant your local…

The Inconvenient Truth about Newt

 

I know I don’t have to tell you, but politicians often say one thing but do the complete opposite -- especially if they think no one is looking.

Newt Gingrich is the poster child for these sort of “flexible” principles.

I’ve been around the block a few times (I’m about to start my 20th year as a gun rights lobbyist) and dealt with literally thousands of candidates and politicians, but no Republican politician has managed to support and vote for anti-gun legislation and…

Steering Conservatives to the Weakest Candidate

 

            The Presidential primaries are fast approaching and the anxiety is building among the conservatives trying to decide on their “primary” choice for the Republican nominee for President. Mitt Romney keeps bubbling up as a constant top contender in the polls. Romney’s challengers keep changing from week to week, according to the polls. We conservatives have a “gut” feeling that Romney is not a true conservative yet we conservatives are fearful that our choice of a true…

Politicians and the rest of us!

   

 

Florida, 2012

Senate Democrats Attempt to Shut Down Tea Party Debt Commission

By Mike Lee    11/18/11

Yesterday I met with a group of concerned citizens to figure out the best way to deal with our national debt and cut the size and scope of the Federal Government.  

We had hoped that by assembling a panel of experts on Capitol Hill we could shed light on the problem and propose solutions that could be used by our friends on both sides of

the aisle, especially those on the Budget Super Committee.  


I'm sorry to…

The New Democratic Party

The Democrat base becomes more liberal every year. The 'new' Democrat espouses a decidedly anti-American form of 'patriotism' which embodies the removal of long-held traditions such as singing the National Anthem or participating in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Modern Democrats also apparently believe that the message transcends the method they use to spread the word, meaning they will lie to you in order to further their agenda. A good example of this is their constant mantra that drilling… Continue

TRADITIONS

 

I called my daughter to work out the details of our Thanksgiving weekend.  She has a new baby and it appears we may not be able to head out the door at 4:00 AM Friday morning for our traditional outing.  We really never buy anything except breakfast and a couple of Starbucks before 10:00 AM yet it has become a tradition for us.

 

Although we can’t enjoy this yearly outing, we planned a new tradition and we will have breakfast together at a normal hour and head to a…

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
