Senate To Take Up The DREAM Act?!

Did the Democrats learn anything from the past election? Next week the United States Senate will take up the DREAM Act which in essence is a backdoor way to give amnesty to illegal aliens. With another bad jobs report slated to come out on Friday, the priority for the United States Senate should be to […]

Justice Stevens Not Living In Reality

Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens is wrong to say that the Supreme Court is damaged because of its ruling in Citizens United v. FEC. Stevens alleges that the majority opinion in Citizens United will “undermine the integrity of elected institutions across the Nation.” I find it hard to believe that the Supreme Court’s defense […]

As North Korea fires a barrage of artillery shells onto South Korean soil, the Obama administration foreign policy number one mission is to pass the START Treaty in the lame duck Congress. President Obama should concentrate on the more serious threats of North Korea and a nuclear Iran than pushing a treaty that will not pass […]

Your Tax Dollars May Pay For The Ground Zero Mosque

It is being reported today that the Ground Zero Mosque developer, Sharif El-Gamal, has applied for a $5 million federal grant.

Pelosi as Democrat Minority Leader is as popular as a Christmas fruitcake – and nobody wants a fruitcake. In fact, Nancy Pelosi is only 1% […]

Charlie Rangel’s Shenanigans

As the last chapter of the 111th Congress is written, the Charlie Rangel saga continues. Nancy Pelosi promised to “drain the swamp” when she became Speaker of the House but, clearly, Charlie Rangel did not get the memo. Rangel walked out on his ethics committee hearing this morning in dramatic fashion while pleading poverty and an […]

Bossie: You’ve endured a long hard campaign season, weathered vicious attacks from your opponent, on Election Night, you triumphed, and now you will take your seat in the 112th Congress.

Daily Caller: Beware of the lame-duck Congress

CU President David Bossie warns of the lame-duck Congress in The Daily Caller: Republicans may be in control of the U.S. House of Representatives when the 112th Congress comes to Washington, D.C. in January, but the 111th Congress isn’t dead yet. When the disastrous Pelosi-Reid-led Congress comes back for its lame-duck session on November 15th, […]
