I had the pleasure and privilege of seeing this movie at the Red State Gathering 2010 in Austin, Texas. It’s inspiring for women, educational and most of all it shares with the world all that conservation have done in helping shape our nation. The table I was sitting at during the showing had comments ranging […]
… I’ve been lucky enough to meet two of the women featured in “Fire From The Heartland” and work through social media with a couple others. But this movement goes far beyond the fifteen voices in the film. This is a strong, ubiquitous movement that isn’t going away. What’s clear after watching “Fire From The […]
The conservative woman is at the same time underestimated and misunderstood by the national media and leftists in general. Often, liberals will poke fun at the conservative woman, whom they believe has resigned herself to subservience to the patriarchal dreams of conservative men.

The conservative filmmakers at Citizens United are out with a new documentary called “Fire From The Heartland” they bill as “a powerful statement about America at a crossroads and the women who have awakened to the crisis.” “With role models such as Clare Boothe Luce, Margaret Thatcher, and Phyllis Schlafly as inspiration, these women are […]
The timing couldn’t be sweeter for the makers of “Fire From the Heartland: The Reawakening of the Conservative Woman.” Just days after the Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell pulled off a stunning upset against GOP establishment pick Mike Castle, Citizens United will premiere a documentary in Washington next week that they say is the first […]
Nominate for the people, not for an agenda The Senate should reject Kagan’s nomination and urge President Obama to nominate someone who is in the mainstream of American legal thought. Because of her extreme approach to analyzing the Constitution and results orientated philosophy the Senate should delay any final action until all documents are released. […]
George Will speaks out against the Disclose Act: WASHINGTON Two splendid recent developments have highlighted how campaign finance “reforms” have become the disease they pretend to cure. In Arizona and in Congress, measures ostensibly aimed at eliminating corruption or the “appearance” thereof illustrate the corruption inherent in incumbents writing laws that regulate political competition by […]
