Elections and Values – Education

By |2019-09-27T23:49:12-04:00September 27th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Elections, Featured, News|Tags: |

Education What we are seeing is a government mandated education system creating a generation of liberal activists. We are teaching "fairness," "climate change," "diversity," "tolerance," and "humanism," but not the 3 R’s. Is there a way back to the basics of education? Overview: B.F. Skinner famously said “Give me a child and I’ll shape him into anything.” Lenin said “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.” Are you [...]

Elections and Values – Energy and Environmental Issues

By |2019-09-27T23:49:58-04:00September 27th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Elections, Energy, Featured|Tags: |

Energy and Environmental Issues $15 per gallon gas. A ban on fireplaces and wood stoves. No natural gas or oil for heating. Government-mandated vegetarianism. This could be our future. The overriding themes are political power and economic control, not saving the planet. Overview: Energy policy is in the news daily. From “climate change” proponents and opponents, to how Dominion and Appalachian Power operate within Virginia, to what your gas and electric bills will be in the future, it touches [...]

Elections and Values – Budget and the Economy

By |2019-09-27T23:50:54-04:00September 27th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Economy, Elections, Featured, News|Tags: |

BUDGET AND THE ECONOMY If you are a Tea Party member, you most likely remember the quote “it’s the economy, stupid!” Well, it still is. We believe in free market capitalism! Instead of addressing the need for appropriate checks and balances to ensure a balance between employer and employees, the current discussion in the media and among progressives is to demonize Capitalism and glorify Socialism. The conservative platform is less regulation, free markets, and fair compensation in a mutually beneficial [...]

Elections and Values – The Second Amendment

By |2019-09-27T23:51:57-04:00September 27th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Elections, Featured, News|Tags: , |

THE SECOND AMENDMENT The Constitution contains statements about our God-given rights and enumerates freedoms that we have in the United States, including the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Over time, these rights have become restricted as laws – such as those prohibiting felons from possessing guns, requiring background checks, or setting a minimum age to own a firearm – have been passed. After each tragic act of violence, one response is usually to encourage gun ownership so that [...]

The Lull before The Gathering Storm

By |2020-06-25T21:54:47-04:00September 16th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Events, Featured, Government, Politics|

I have always felt blessed to be able to recognize the good and the eternal truths from the bad and deranged and not be confused over the confusion of others. The Tea Party and other patriot groups have been steadfast in their knowing and defending their convictions and their foundational principals. They have stayed the course over the last 10 years in the face of unprecedented attacks and, in some cases, up close and personal destruction. Whether by weaponized powerful [...]

Why We Might Lose the Virginia House and Senate

By |2020-12-23T09:28:05-05:00August 20th, 2019|Categories: Blog, Congress, Elections, Government, Politics|

By Susan Lascolette There’s no doubt that the Virginia House and Senate are operating under razor-thin political margins – a 2-seat difference in the Senate and a 1-seat difference in the House.  The elections on November 5th may be a tipping point. In the Senate: Eleven of the Democratic Senator candidates are running unopposed and another five have only an independent challenger.  In contrast, only one Republican Senator candidate is running unopposed and another four have just an independent [...]

No more hunting rifles

By |2020-12-23T09:28:17-05:00August 17th, 2019|Categories: Action Alerts, Blog, Elections, Featured, Legislative, Politics|

I don’t know if you heard, but the Virginia State Crime Commission is meeting next week to hear presentations and comments from the public regarding gun control bills. Red flag laws, waiting periods, local firearm bans... There’s even a bill that would make it a CLASS 6 FELONY to own many hunting rifles. This one of the biggest attacks on our 2nd Amendment rights that Virginia has ever seen, and some candidates for the General Assembly would take it even further. That's why I hope [...]

This last decade has been one of incredible changes at lightning speed. Some of these changes have been good ones, some not so good, as with all things, change happens and we adjust as part of life. In some cases, there are malignant changes that threaten the stability and viability of a people. In these last 10 years, we have witnessed these malignant threats and so nihilistic were some of the changes, we rose in unison to counter it [...]
