by Deborah Giffin, VATP Chair of Direct Legislative Action (DLA) Have you ever gone back and looked at high school and/or college pictures of yourself? Do you notice how you look just like all your friends? Were you a hippie? Were you "goth?" Were you straight edge? Were you a skater? Identity while young is very tribal; you seek to find others who affirm you and with whom you find common ground. Chances are you are not the same person [...]

IT’S STILL THE ECONOMY, STUPID! by Deborah Giffin, VATP Chair of Direct Legislative Action (DLA) April 15, 2009 was the day for rallies in about 750 locations across the country. Since that day, the Tea Party movement has been active in many areas. At first, gatherings of like-minded folks rallied around the “Taxed Enough Already!” ideology. Large gatherings such as the 9.12 March on Washington energized a fellowship of mostly white, middle-class conservatives. As the movement matured it has [...]
So, what has America become? Are we still the land of the free and the home of the brave? Are we still a Constitutional Republic? Are we still that shinning city on the hill? Are we as virtuous as we used to be? Are we still the place where the good guys can win and the bad guys get it in the end? Are we still the good guys? Now we are witness to the tragic disunion of our [...]
Every time we think the left has hit the lowest of lows, they forge ahead to descend to yet another level of lawlessness and subversion. There was a time when we thought of one another as Americans embracing self-evident truths and common sense for the good of our nation. Over the years, the left has descended into a cesspool of ever-increasing audacious criminal, subversive and insane behavior. We have been like concerned family members who are helplessly witnessing the [...]
A review of bills that are passing through the House and Senate shows that both houses are keen on spending your money in support of Big Government goals.

Have you noticed that the question of what it would be like if the US ever became like Cuba, Venezuela or any other banana republic is rarely asked anymore. It is as if we don't need to ask that question. That question is not asked maybe because it has been answered in horrific fashion over the past decade. Remember the rioting by roving left-wing thugs attacking, burning, terrorizing, looting, and killing with impunity without any concern that there would be [...]
A year ago, to the month, we were mesmerized by the Chinese spying machine floating over our nation. Remember. The spy balloon owned the skies as it drifted over national security areas with nary a care in the world. Nothing could be clearer to the nation and the world that the election thief in the White House was beholden to our Chinese enemies. His lucrative bribery operations funneled through his lawless junkie son, was a price that was being paid [...]
