It happens every year! The First Thursday in May – this year May 2 – the National Day of Prayer is proclaimed by Congress. There is a local Mechanicsville event at the Historic Polegreen Church at 530 pm. It started because the Hanover Church of the Nazarene was looking for a site for their NDP […]

I am blogging today from the beautiful Big Stone Gap area and the mountains are majestic and the fight for liberty here is awesome. There is a wonderful effort to honor the founding of country (and bluegrass) music in Southwest Virginia. The Crooked Road is a tourism initiative to help visitors to appreciate the efforts […]

Speaking on the Senate floor this morning, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell again made the case that now is the time for Congress to tackle our out-of-control federal spending. “A few weeks ago, President Obama reportedly said that America doesn’t have a spending problem. Well, he’s wrong. This is completely at odds with what independent experts tell […]

“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” “A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always […]

Rasmussen has just released a poll of Virginia Voters and Romney now leads Obama in this swing state by 3 points, 50% to 47%. The poll of 750 likely voters was taken on October 18, 2012 and reflects both presidential debates to date as well as the VP debate. One significant finding in this poll is that […]

We hear the Mainstream Media talk about the Gender Gap problem facing Mitt Romney because more women tend to favor Barack Obama. And while that was true in 2008, this year it […]

On Friday, Senate Democrats released their spending proposal for the rest of the current fiscal year, offering only $6.5 billion in cuts from the current unsustainable spending levels. Combined with the $4 billion in cuts President Obama signed into law last week, that means Democrats are apparently offering only $10.5 billion in total cuts. The […]
