While the Senate is battling over financial reform, the House is moving along on the Progressive agenda to bring our great Republic to it’s knees. HR 2499 is a non-binding resolution in the House of Representatives that would allow Puerto Rico to decide if it wants to become a state in a two stage voting [...]
This came in from Hurt’s campaign today. How exactly would this work out in a debate? ‘He voted more times for HIGHER taxes than I!’ ‘I only raised taxes by $1 Billion, he raised it by $663 Billion!’ Perriello Votes for $664 Billion in Tax Increases and Counting… Congressman Perriello and Democrats in Washington have [...]
This arrived in my email this morning from the Feda campaign. It is an interesting read. Hurt isn’t the conservative that we need to represent us. He’s not conservative. He’s Tommy-lite.

Is it a self-identified tea party member, a member of the coffee party trying to make the tea party look [...]
This post came up on another blog from a very vigorous poster and it really got me thinking. ‘this is not about the soul of the Republican party. this is about beating Perriello.’ I believe it is about both. We can and must achieve both. I think most candidates in the 5th can beat Tom [...]

This morning, Micheal McPadden’s former campaign manager Joshua Solovskoy posted on his Facebook and blog pages an apology to 5th District voters for supporting and recommending McPadden.
