The following letter was sent from a FreedomWorks member to a newspaper in Ohio today. I think he makes a great point.
I heard Senator DeWine say that he was proud of ‘protecting the steel industry.’  Is restricting free trade and free labor something our Senators should be proud of? Consider the letter below.

Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council wrote the following on his blog.
“In recruiting candidates to run for office the Democrats look for people who are appealing to social conservative voters. If the candidates don’t fit that pro-life/pro-marriage mold, the Democrats instruct them to mask their more radical ideas. Democratic strategists clearly see the value […]

Matt Schumsky, a FreedomWorks field coordinator for California , had a great op-ed run in the  OC Register.

FreedomWorks chairman Dick Armey’s free market message has been resonating with pocketbook conservatives. His recent op-ed in Sunday’s Washington Post has created a flurry of news coverage. Our media room has been ringing off the hook today with requests to talk to Armey.
This morning the Chris Core show on Washington’s WMAL 630 talked about Armey’s critique of […]

Thanks in large part to policy mismanagement by a shockingly illiterate Congress, American financial markets are losing their edge to global competitors.  U.S. tax policy is increasingly complicated, unstable, and short-term (our capital gains and dividend rates change every two years, for example).  America’s tax policy is a disgraceful, corrupt mess that specifically punishes U.S. companies […]

Today on a conference call, House leaders Dennis Hastert, John Boehner and Roy Blunt discussed the President’s signing of the Border Fence Act of 2006.
As Congressional Quarterly reported today, “The measure (HR 6061) also authorizes a “virtual fence” of sensors, cameras, pilotless aircraft and other surveillance technology. It was passed by the House Sept. 14 […]
