CONSERVATIVE ACTION ALERTS 05/24/2013

Moms Against Hunger meeting unmet needs in Moore, OK  With the initial shock from Monday’s colossal tornado wearing off and with all of the clean-up going on, people are hungry and in need of three solid meals. The good news is: this need is being answered! Since Tuesday, more groups have been arriving on the scene to prepare and provide food for the hungry. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all being provided by different groups serving with compassion. While we celebrate that stomachs are being filled, many areas where relief is desperately needed are still left unaddressed. Read More

Federalism (“States’ Rights”) Get Short Shrift in Colorado Judicial Exhibit  I recently visited the new Ralph Carr Colorado Judicial Center—the huge and incredibly expensive building complex that now houses the Colorado Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.

Islamists Tell the Truth When They Think Western Eyes Aren’t Watching  If you want to keep up on what’s going in the Middle East, and what Islamists really think, MEMRI-TV is an excellent resource for accomplishing both.
