Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is urging Americans to come to Washington, D.C., next week to roam the halls of Congress and lobby lawmakers against the House Democrats' healthcare reform plan.
The strategy aims at resurrecting the momentum Republicans enjoyed during the August recess, when many critics challenged their members of Congress on healthcare reform. Since then, Dem... Continue reading ...

BANNOCK COUNTY - Even as more people are looking to guns as a way to stay safe, carrying a concealed weapon just got a little more expensive for people in Bannock County. http://www.localnews8.com/Global/story.asp?S=11395605
Your representatives want to know what you think of this.

TO: Republican National Committee
RE: The State of our Nation and our Party
Dear Sir:
I am a monthly donor to the RNC and I will be canceling my support. It is apparent that the RNC is continuing to back those candidates that are not Conservative so I heretofore shall be seeking out Conservatives both locally and nationally and will donate personally to their campaigns. The race in New York is a prime example. The Republican running…well, is a sad excuse for a Republican. She is pro-choice and... Continue reading ...

Earlier today, Senators Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Bob Corker (R-TN) introduced "The Federal Reserve Accountability Act," an attempt to kill HR 1207/S 604 by passing a bill that prevents a full audit and full transparency from America's secretive central bank.
While language in this bill would permit a limited audit of the Fed's actions in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) and similar high profile bailouts, it would not allow an audit to review the Fed's inflation of the money supply or i... Continue reading ...

The immature mud slinging that goes on between various political pundits really turns my stomach. Does it win people over calling them names? Does it solidify your base by demonizing others? Or does it just create hysteria in otherwise reasonable people towards their neighbors who might have different political ideas?
Instead of being so divisive, why not discover how you can agree with others? Not everything is left or right. People on both sides agree on a lot of issues. Many Statists on bot... Continue reading ...

World Premier of “Not Evil, Just Wrong” in Pocatello
POCATELLO, ID – The Pocatello Tea Party has teamed up with the Idaho Freedom Foundation for a world premier film event. The film “Not Evil, Just Wrong,” is a feature-length documentary which takes on the conventional wisdom of global warming. This event is being coordinated with the filmmakers and hundreds of other groups nationwide to qualify this event for the World Record Premiere.
The "tea party" movement of 2009 has quickly grown into a phenomenon and is helping to drive the national dialogue on issues like government spending, healthcare reform and widespread allegations of Constitutional infringements at the Federal level. "Tea Party: The Documentary Film" (DVD release date Nov 27) follows the struggles of five grassroots individuals and their transformation from h...

From: Rep. Steven Thayn
Our country is in financial trouble for several reasons. One of the main reasons is that few openly discuss our current outmoded, inefficient entitlement system that was created before the importance of the family was recognized. Consider:
2/3 of the federal budget is allocated to social services (entitlements)
85 percent of the Idaho’s budget is for social services (Education and Health and Welfare)
In 1900, only 8 percent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was nee...
"The government who robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul," George Bernard Shaw once said.
For a socialist, Shaw demonstrated good sense with that quotation. Unfortunately, America has become a laboratory in which his hypothesis is being tested.
The theory of government I was taught says that government provides benefits, primarily security, to the entire population. In return we pay t... Continue reading ...

Reminder to call your US Representative and Senators regarding the proposed Healthare Reform. It has very little to do with giving healthcare to more Americans, but more to aliens, and a gigantic switch of power to the Executive branch (President).
We will not only loose access to private insurance, loose access to healthcare once we reach an age where our medical needs increase, but our legislative and judicial branches of government will be nothing but smoke and mirrors to hide their own in... Continue reading ...
For those market boosters who are prattling on about the possibility of a "jobless recovery," I offer an invitation to join me for a breakfast of "fat-free bacon," "eggless omelets," and "no-carb bread." As unappetizing as such a meal may sound, it would nevertheless offer more substance than the oxymoronic concept of an economic resurgence without job creation.
Those who do cling to the absurd belief that, absent exponential... Continue reading ...
