Are you in our corner?
Tuesday, February 26th, 2013Greetings all; There are more reasons now for a 2nd Amendment Preservation Ordinance than there were a mere week ago.

Tax and Spend
Wednesday, January 2nd, 2013There they go again. Recently Congress passed a bill to avert the so-called fiscal cliff. But instead of focusing on the real driver of our fiscal imbalance, runaway government spending, Congress passed a bill that’s all taxes and no serious spending reductions.
