2. FreedomWorks for America Congratulates Ted Yoho in FL-03 Primary Victory
FreedomWorks for America activists across Florida’s third district are celebrating a victory for fiscal conservative Ted Yoho in his Republican congressional primary.
FreedomWorks for America President Matt Kibbe commented:
“Ted Yoho has continuously stood with other liberty-minded members of the House like Justin Amash to protect civil liberties, and fight against the unconstitutional NSA spying program. He represents exactly the type of constitutional conservative we need in Washington while our freedoms are under siege.” Read more here...

4. Why is Burger King Moving to Canada?
What happens when people and business flee the government regulations that burden them? In a somewhat shocking recent announcement, classic American company Burger King has said that they plan to move their corporate headquarters to Canada in order to escape the United States’ punitive corporate taxes, the highest such tax rates in the world.
President Obama has expressed displeasure at Burger King’s decision, and is even threatening to use his executive power to try to prevent, or at least, discourage, companies from following their model. He is also calling on Congress to act, but one wonder what laws Congress could pass, short of the eminently sensible move of lowering our own corporate tax rate, that would not be outright despotic in curtailing the freedom of business to relocate. Read more here...
5. My Journey from Tyranny to Liberty - by Lily Williams
I am an Chinese immigrant who come to America to seek freedom from the Communist China. I was born right before China’s Cultural Revolution and grew up in Chengdu, Capitol of Sichuan province, China. As you know, in China there is only one party that is truly in power: The Communist Party. The government, which is the Communist Party, controls everything: Factories, schools, the press, hospitals, land, and universities. Growing up there, I never heard of such a thing as a “private company." There were no choices of any sort. We were all poor. We had no gas or stove, no TV, no phones, no refrigerators, and no washing machines. In the cities, electricity was rationed. In the countryside, there was no electricity. Read more here...
