You Won’t Believe What Happened in GOP Conference Last Night
As you've probably heard from media reports by now, last night Rep. Paul Ryan gave a speech to his colleagues in the Republican Conference meeting that he would accept the job of Speaker of the House as long as he could be a unifying force AND as long as the 3 major factions in the House got behind him. Oh, and there's one other thing. He wants the Republican Conference to change the rules of the House to remove the power of Members to issue a motion to vacate the chair - which you'll recall is the mechanism that Mark Meadows of North Carolina used to ultimately force John ...

Find your Representative and Call Now!
Today on Capitol Hill, lobbyists from K Street are doing everything they can to shore up the votes for California Congressman Kevin McCarthy so that their favor on the Hill doesn't diminish as Boehner prepares to exit stage left.
McCarthy, who appeared on Hannity on Fox News Tuesday night, did everything he could to try to convince the American people that his leadership will be different than Boehner's. However, as ...

Call your Senators now at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote NO on cloture for TPA. The vote is happening at 11:00 today. Time is of the essence.
Sen.

McConnell promised to allow votes on Export-Import Bank reauthorization. Sen. Cruz believes Speaker Boehner may have done the same in the House. Unless McConnell and Boehner publicly commit ...
ACTION ALERT: Call McConnell now. Tell him no amnesty!
This week is critical for conservatives and President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty. The House successfully passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill that also rolled back the president’s amnesty program. But it’s yet to get through the Senate, despite the Republican majority American voters bequeathed their elected officials last November.
We need everyone to call Majority Leader Mitch McConnell NOW at 202-224-2541 and tell him to keep his promise and stop Obama’s amnesty!
While Democrats have blocked the bill over and over again, ...
It’s time to call the White House!
Last week, Congress put off voting on a horribly bad immigration reform bill, thanks in large part to patriots all over the country who flooded Capitol Hill with phone calls. While the bill that was passed won’t necessarily be getting grade-A marks anytime soon, it at least calls for tighter border enforcement.
Last week, our voices made all the difference, but we can’t stop now.
This week, it’s time to do the same with the executive branch. Call the White House at 1-855-851-2702 and tell the Obama Administration not to pass executive amnesty!
On March 28, ...
Repeal 16
Fellow Patriots –
Will you join with us in calling for the repeal of the 16th Amendment?
The amendment, which went into effect in 1913, gives the federal government power to levy an income tax. Yet the Internal Revenue Service has time and time again, abused that power to harass law-abiding citizens with opposing political beliefs – including Tea Party Patriots.
It’s also clear that the federal government cannot be trusted to responsibly and efficiently spend our hard-earned tax dollars. We believe there is simply a better way for Americans to pay their taxes. We ...
We stand with Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Woods
On Tuesday, March 25, the United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in two landmark cases that have everything to do with the kind of country we will leave our children and grandchildren. In both Sebelius v. Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp v. Seblieus, the Supreme Court will look at whether businesses are entitled to the fundamental right of religious liberty.
Four years ago, President Obama signed into law the Affordable Care Act. It’s doubtful any other piece of legislation has done as much harm to our Constitution as much as ...
Where’s the Conservative Leadership?
A few days ago, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell told the New York Times that in 2014, conservative insurgents - meaning Tea Party supporters - have no chance against his GOP establishment. “I think we are going to crush them everywhere,” said McConnell. [1]
We’ve got news for the 30-year Senator from Kentucky: if the GOP establishment learned to fight for conservative principles every once in a while, his title might be “Majority Leader” instead of “Minority Leader.”
It’s in large part because of the Tea Party movement that the ...
