Back in November, I penned an op-ed entitled “King Barack I.” In that piece, I expressed outrage over President Obama’s unconstitutional executive action regarding amnesty and illegal immigration. Thankfully, that disastrous plan has been stopped in federal court earlier this year – for the moment. Now, with only 15 months to go in his hopeless […]
During the primary season of 2012, Senator Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)50% was expecting millions in establishment cash to propel Texas’ Lt. Governor David Dewhurst to the United States Senate. Dewhurst, in McConnell’s mind, would be another political asset for him, in his decades-long dream to become Senate Majority Leader. Dewhurst looked and acted the part. […]
This week, my organization Citizens United released the results of our second member presidential preference poll of the 2016 election cycle. A cross-section of more than 4,900 grassroots conservatives were asked who their first and second choices are for President of the United States at this time. The poll ran from Friday September 18th to […]
Citizens United President David Bossie tells Breitbart News he thinks House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)35% “saw the writing on the wall” and “that he did not have the votes to sustain a vacate the chair motion.” Bossie was referring to the looming measure put forth by Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)96% to remove Boehner from […]
On September 10, 2001, our leaders in Washington were happy to be debating things like Kennedy-Boehner education reform and McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform. Despite the 1998 terrorist attacks on our embassies in Africa and the 2000 attack on the USS Cole, Republicans and Democrats alike were still relying largely on the oceans that separate us […]
As Congress prepares to return from summer recess this week, my organization, Citizens United, conducted a poll of a cross-section of our national membership asking what issue lawmakers on Capitol Hill should focus on next. We followed that query up with a question regarding congressional term limits. The results of the poll should be both […]
Trust in government is at a horrible low point and for good reason. The American people feel like elected officials don’t listen and aren’t interested in doing the right thing for the good of the country. With scandal after scandal, failed policy after failed policy, and an abysmal lack of transparency to boot, taxpayers are […]
Former Secretary of State and current Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is facing serious legal questions. It’s unavoidable; you turn on the television, open a newspaper, log on to social media, or listen to the radio, and it’s all about Hillary’s self-made email investigation. She is drowning in her excuses du jour and changing story […]
America’s constitutionally protected religious liberties are under attack. Time and time again, we’ve witnessed these liberties targeted, threatened, and abused by liberal policies, politicians, and judges in the name of “equality.” Citizens United, and our half million members across the nation, are fed up defending a right that shouldn’t need defense. But, we must defeat […]
President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry made a terrible nuclear deal with Iran, a nation that has proven time and time again that they cannot be trusted. Irresponsible concessions were made that jeopardize the safety of America and our great ally, Israel. Now, the decision is in the hands of Congress. Congress must […]
With the direction our society is taking, I get more and more concerned for our children and grandchildren with each passing day. ,p>Our youth are growing up in liberal school systems with books teaching same sex marriage. We see teachers pushing for sex education, birth control, and providing condoms to kids who are years from […]
After three election cycles and more than four and half years, grassroots conservatives have grown tired of waiting for John Boehner to pass the conservative agenda he’s repeatedly promised. Time and time again, Boehner has failed to provide a vision or use the robust majority in the U.S. House – which conservatives provided him – […]
