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|

Senators not Reading Bills? US Senator Speaks Out …

By |2019-05-11T16:12:13-04:00January 1st, 2013|Categories: Congress|Tags: , |

How refreshing it is to see a US senator speaking out against his own legislative body!  The Senate makes its own rules, and then routinely ignores them.  He also points out how the Senate is playing a shell game by moving money around to pay for various items, thus being disingenuous to the American people [...]

What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Decoding the State Of The Union

By |2019-05-11T16:12:51-04:00January 28th, 2011|Categories: Congress, Featured|Tags: , |

Most Americans couldn't stomach the idea of listening to the state of the union speech. So I've undertaken the daunting task of decoding the speech from the written transcript found at NPR.
