Ken Cuccinelli Edges Closer For Win!

Issues: 

Tuesday, November 5th we will know just how well the liberals have infiltrated Virginia. Ken Cuccinelli, Attorney General of Virginia, has been working hard to surpass the New York Democrat hustler Terry McAuliffe at the polls. McAuliffe is being funded by sources outside Virginia, most notably, George Soros-backed PACs and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and has a 10-1 spending advantage over Cuccinelli. Additionally, McAuliffe is supported by Obama and Hillary, who both campaigned for him over this weekend. Native Virginians do not agree with McAuliffe and his ilk, which is why he needs this type of outside financial and political help. Without this help, McAuliffe would not stand a chance.

Addressing Our Veterans' Needs & Ending Abuse in the VA

With Veterans Day approaching, we held a hearing in the Oversight and Government Reform Committee with senior officials from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to examine why the Department wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on conferences, while wounded warriors have waited months or even years to receive the help they deserve and were promised for their service to our nation. For example, the VA held two week-long conferences in Orlando, Florida that cost taxpayers $6.1 MILLION.

Yes, Virginia Voters, There is a Consequence

Dear Virginia Voters,

Your vote in the Virginia governor’s race on November 5th means so much to Americans in the other 49 states.

There is a widespread and growing national angst about our country, a sense that something is very wrong. It is a feeling that our country is being taken over by people who want to take over the people. It’s a deep-in-the-gut-level knowing that the liberty-based lifestyle Americans have enjoyed, is at great risk. Read more about Yes, Virginia Voters, There is a Consequence

Lower Level Operatives to Blame

Is the administration aware of the actions that are taking place in the administration?

A little history:

Fast and Furious:

Everyone knows the President did not know about this tactic until he heard about it through the news media.

A quote from White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.

So lower level operatives blamed. No accountability. Read more about Lower Level Operatives to Blame

Houston Chronicle Editor Tim Fleck Attacks Texas Congressman Stockman after Stockman Calls for Investigation into Obama's White House Scandals

You know a conservative leader is doing the right thing when the liberal media attacks him/her. Well, Texas Congressman Steve Stockman is certainly doing the right thing because he has the liberal media attacking him on a daily basis. The next attack is expected to come from Tim Fleck of the Houston Chronicle. Fleck is a liberal editor who used to work for the Houston Press. Fleck takes his bias up a notch above most liberal media though because Fleck, on top of just writing negative articles about Stockman, has also tried to sue Congressman Stockman in the past and has even been accused of breaking into Stockman's home. Apparently, Fleck is not happy about the most recent press release from Congressman Stockman. (See press release below after Stockman's statement regarding Fleck.)

UK Visits US Gun Passion

Not long ago, I was approached by a man and woman from the UK who wanted some training and the chance to shoot guns. They were in the United States on vacation and one of the items on their vacation list was to find a certified instructor and have the once in a lifetime chance to “experience what it’s like to be American for a few hours with the legal right to shoot rifles and guns.” Read more about UK Visits US Gun Passion

Hey, Texas! Let's Scare up Some Liberty!

Issues: 

Since yesterday was Halloween and you still may be in a 'scary' mood, I thought I would share something else that some folks find scary; liberty. Yep, you heard it here. Liberty is scary, to some folks, not me.

I know you've heard about my own political background; not being involved beyond election day by casting a vote and then going home and praying that the person I voted for won. A pretty sad existence, if you ask me. Now, I'm a fully involved voting citizen; building relationships with my representatives and trying my best to educate those around me.

The Race for Texas Attorney General - Barry Smitherman's Record

AG Candidate Barry SmithermanNote: The sixth paragraph of this article as been updated to correct an error. The original article stated Smitherman had received an "A" rating from the NRA. It is, in fact, an "A+" rating. The author apologizes for underestating the commissioner's oustanding record on the 2nd Amendment.

Earlier this week we looked at the legislative record of State Representative Dan Branch and found a surprising record where he offered an amendment to a bill that would have expanded third trimester abortion rights in Texas. This illustrates why a candidate's record is important. Opponents of Smitherman like to point out that he does not have a legislative voting record. I think that is a pretty weak argument. Records are important, but you don't have to be a legislator to have a record. Berry Smitherman has a strong and easy-to-find record of public service to the people of Texas.
