29 Jan 2012    Tyranny rules our nation now by Jeffrey Harrison

Just a few years ago if someone would have indicated to me that personal liberty and national sovereignty would be in the state of jeopardy I would have said, "No way, that can't ever happen here in America."  

 
1 Jan 2012    We Can't all be on the dole by Pete Winkelman

If the Republicans would have agreed to have raised taxes one trillion, does anyone think one penny would go on the budget?  It would have all went to pay back Obama donors and buy more welfare votes. 

 
23 Nov 2011    Get informed, get involved by Jeffrey Harrison

With all the things going on in our country, we all will be negatively impacted if we do not stem the tide...

 
10 Nov 2011    What happened to our country? by Blaise Dornisch

When men and women around our land, honoring our flag, our Creator, our founding principles and documents are scorned by newsoutlets and shunned by many of our elected oficials, what happened to our country?

16 May 2011    If you don't mind, you won't matter by Jeff Harrison

For way too long, I and many other citizens have ASSUMED that our officials were doing a decent job.  But at times they were not looking out for the best interests of the voters or the American people.... 

 
16 May 2011    I detest the tea party, yet appreciate Obama by Jeff Harrison

I am grateful for Obama. Because of him, I started to appreciate my county and not take it for granted.  I think the Constitution is a beautiful thing.  The Constitution is Freedom...

 
5 May 2011    What are you waiting for? by Andrea Zug

Are you involved with the Tea Party Movement yet? If so…good for you, if not…what are you waiting for? We are involved in the biggest battle of our lives and one of the most important…we’re literally fighting for our way of life. 

 
2 May 2011    Why should we get involved in the tea party movement? by Andrea Zug

Not only is there safety in numbers but there is power. Alone, I cannot change anything...nor can you...but together we can force our elected representatives to do what we send them to Washington to do...represent us. What is happening now is something our forefathers feared and tried to protect us against in the Constitution. They gave the government adequate but limited power to do the people's business....

 
2 May 2011    Importance of the Constitution by Andrea Zug

America is looked upon, with envy, by the rest of the world because of the freedoms secured for us by our forefathers in this document. We must use these rights and freedoms to protect the Constitution from abuse or destruction so generations to come may also enjoy the freedoms that we hold dear.

 
2 May 2011    America's foundation is the word of God by Bernie Triponey

We have heard talk over the years of how our Founding Fathers were not Christians, that is beside the point. That is not the issue. What we see in their writings, their statements and their votes prove the fact that the majority of them embraced those great principles, as the bases for a civilized nation.  Our great country’s foundation is the Word of God....

 
2 May 2011    Vote for the person, not the party by Andrea Zug

Voting is one of the rights given to us by the Constitution of the United States and we should exercise that right at every opportunity. It is the duty of every American of voting age to cast their vote in an educated manner.

 
24 Apr 2011    Close loophole for candidates by Jeffrey Harrison

Last week, PA State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe introduced HB 1350 regarding the submission of candidate affiavits....

 
5 Apr 2011    We now have candidates; will we have informed voters?

Maybe - just maybe - the "tea party" is making a difference.  Maybe Americans are finally getting serious about "taking back our country" from the special interests.  Glance at the election ballot for the May 17 primary election.

 
9 Dec 2010    Require proof for candidates by Jeffrey Harrison

Whenever I purchase an item, I check it out more thoroughly than before and I inspect the receipt....

 
27 Nov 2010    We Want Proof by Jeff Harrison

A famous person said, "trust, but verify".  In basic training, my drill instructor drilled into our heads of mush..do not A.S.S.U.M.E. anything, because when you do....

28 Oct 2010    Go back to a time when...by David Singer

We want the country back to a time when border and national security was a federal priority, when veterans, gun owners, right-to-life advocates and Christian Fundamentalists were not identified by the USDHS as being potential Right Wing Extremists; when deficit spending was not destroying our economy and our nation.  Go back to that time...

 
19 Oct 2010    Santa Goes Green by Patty Fish

Since when is Christmas about the environment?  Have we seriously taken Christ out of Christmas and replaced him with an environmentalist agenda?  

 
12 Oct 2010    Christmas play being misused by Andrea Zug

Global warming and going green are the watchwords these days. The fact that literally thousands of great scientific minds believe, as many of us do, that it is a farce legislated by those who use the theory to line their own pockets, is of no consequence.

 
8 Oct 2010    TEA Parties Holding Politicians Accountable by Patty Fish

The American People are like parents that have gone away for the summer.  They left their two teenagers with the keys to the house and the car, the credit card, access to their liquar cabinet, and told the kids to behave and be responsible while they are gone.  When they get back, they are shocked to find the credit card has been maxed out, the house in shambles, and each of the teens blaming the other for all the mess and chaos.
