CONSERVATIVE ACTION ALERTS 06/03/2013

Obama to sign Arms Trade Treaty  Barack Obama is the most anti-gun president in American history. Not only has he continually urged Congress to craft legislation to disarm us and destroy our Second Amendment rights, he has also done - and is doing - everything he can to achieve the same ends on his own without Congress. Remember his twenty-three anti-gun “executive actions” on the 16th of January? Read More

The Liberal Onslaught Against Kelly Ayotte  We ought to get perspective on the real nature of the most recent push on gun control, initiated out of the White House.

Renewable energy’s reversal of fortune  “They told us the wind turbines were going to be good for the city; that our electric rates would go down. But that hasn’t happened.

Easy fix to IRS corruption  Sir John Dalberg-Acton famously observed, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” No federal agency enjoys more power than the “absolute power” wielded by the Internal Revenue Service. It’s little wonder, then, that under this power-drunk Obama regime, the IRS has become “corrupted absolutely.” It’s become the hammer to this president’s favorite nail: political dissent. Read More

Americans feeling the pain of the lefts misguided energy policies  A few years ago Americans were introduced to “Green Companies” with cutting edge and promising names like: Solyndra, Fisker, Abound Solar and many others. All of them were the recipients of government backed loans and almost all of them have gone bankrupt leaving the American taxpayer holding the bag for billions.  Read More

Remember  In the clutter of all the bad news that is reported on a daily basis – namely the things that are going wrong, that which is negative to and even counterproductive to the freedoms America now possesses – out of nowhere pops up a story of how blessed America truly is, by capturing the goodness of God, even when we forget all of His benefits (Psalm 103) and the grace that has been shed abroad upon this most blessed nation by His Son Jesus Christ.  Read More
