The government is cracking down on ride sharing services such as Uber and Lyft. As is too often the case, big businesses are lobbying for more regulations to hurt their competitors. I say get rid of these regulations and let companies compete on a level playing field to see who is best. Watch here...
2. Ohio Grassroots Spotlight - by Noah Wall
Saturday September 20, I was privileged to attend the annual We The People Convention in Columbus, Ohio. FreedomWorks and our amazing Ohio activists have taken part in this event each year since it's start four years ago.
What's really exceptional about the liberty movement in Ohio is its level of organization. Pundits and "talking heads" in Washington, DC love to bemoan the collapse of the Tea Party, and of the anti-establishment conservative movement, but in reality what we're seeing is the opposite.

3. How Much are ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Falling - by Tom Borelli
As former President Clinton famously redefined the meaning of “is,” President Obama also changed the meaning of enrolled with regard to his health care law.
Earlier this year, Obama touted that 8 million people had enrolled in ObamaCare but recent data from the Health and Human Services Department shows that number was too high.
The difference in the number centers around the definition of enrolled. Obama’s estimate is higher because it included all the individuals that signed up including a portion of individuals that did not pay the insurance premium. Read more here...
4. So Who Does Congressman Culberson Represent: Constituents or Colleagues? - by Kelly Horsley
"Working in Congress is like standing under Niagara Falls"-John Culberson (R) Texas said repeatedly during a town hall meeting on September 22, 2014
Really? Sounds like a problem to me. The button on the pants of the federal government has officially shot off into the atmosphere as the bloat and the sheer girth of government has increased to sizes previously unknown. Houston, we have a problem.
Thankfully we have John Culberson fearlessly representing the good folks of Congressional District 7! Um, scratch that. Thankfully we have John Culberson representing the good folks of Congressional District 7! Nope, wouldn't even go that far. I think we can boil it down to 'we have John Culberson representing the good folks of Congressional District 7'. Read more here...
5. FreedomWorks Announces 2013 Activist of the Year: Lawrence Jones
FreedomWorks announced 21-year-old activist Lawrence B. Jones III as the FreedomWorks 2013 Activist of the Year. Lawrence Jones had an interesting journey to becoming a constitutional conservative, casting his first vote for President Barack Obama and working for Democratic campaigns in roles such as the Garland district Obama campaign coordinator. It was through educating himself on the issues and pursuing truth in government that Jones became a tireless activist for liberty.
FreedomWorks President Matt Kibbe commented, “Lawrence embodies what it means to be a small government conservative activist. He is not afraid to shake things up, think independently, stand up to the status quo, and do what he thinks is right. He’s an inspiration to young activists across the country, and proof that one strong voice can make a difference in a community.” Read more here...
6. Change of Senate Rules by "Nuclear Option" May Come Around to Save ObamaCare Subsidies - by Tommy Creegan
Senate Democrats’ elimination of the filibuster of most judicial nominations may come around to save a controversial aspect of ObamaCare.
Currently, the biggest legal threat posed to ObamaCare comes from the D.C. Court of Appeals’ recent ruling against ObamaCare subsidies (Halbig v. Burwell). The IRS has been issuing the subsidies in 36 states where the federal government operates insurance exchanges, while the plain text of the ACA makes health insurance subsidies available only in states that have set up their own exchanges.
