America has a big spending problem – we are more than $16,000,000,000,000 (16 trillion) in debt. That’s a fact. Here’s another fact regarding the recent fiscal cliff proposal reported in Politico this morning: a deal involving $1.2 trillion in tax increases and $400 billion in phantom Medicare cuts will actually produce a net negative result […]
When President Obama made the declaration last week that his stance on same-sex marriage had “evolved” into supporting it, the New York Times called me up to see what the conservative movement thought about Obama’s evolution. I said to the reporter, “Just when you thought the conservative movement couldn’t be any more energized against President […]
Today Senator Chuck Schumer of New York is introducing “DISCLOSE Act 2.0,” which will have the same failed outcome as the original DISCLOSE Act. DISCLOSE Act 2.0 is written to chill free speech and only serves the purpose of making sure incumbents are reelected. I guess Chuck Schumer only cares about the retention of the […]
With the national debt making news once again by exploding past the surreal $15 trillion mark, there is a glimmer of hope that those advocating for spending cuts as opposed to tax increases will get a shot in the arm for their cause as the Supercommittee approaches it’s deadline next week.

As a reminder of the American people’s long standing wishes, Citizens United plans to send 15,000 signed petitions from our members to the newly formed debt “Super Committee” urging them to make the Bush tax cuts permanent. With 9.2 percent unemployment, Americans cannot afford to have their taxes increased or to give more money to […]
John McCain’s screed on the Senate floor yesterday attacking House Republicans for standing against Speaker Boehner’s debt plan was embarrassing for a Senator whose best days are behind him. Those House freshmen he attacked are doing something John McCain knows little about anymore – fighting for principle. Fighting for principle is something that John McCain […]
Obama needs to watch his base. Not because he can’t win the nomination, but because if they aren’t highly motivated on Election Day 2012, he has little chance of winning re-election. He is beholden to liberal special interest groups, left-wing ideologues, and the union leadership. They may not be able to stop his re-nomination, but […]
