A Pearl of Wisdom from John Locke
It is the knowledge that there is an element of the Divine in our efforts that should spur us on even further – the knowledge that by giving of our time and talent to make a difference this November, we are preserving our God-given right to liberty and a government that is useful to us, not harmful.

I was recently told an inspiring story by another Field Representative in the Kansas office, Mary Brown, which grabbed my attention and gave me hope. Mary’s neighbor boy recently returned home from college for a weekend visit. On arriving he noticed the Brown’s political campaign signs in their front yard. The neighbor boy told his…

I was incredibly impressed by the passion and resolve I saw demonstrated by the people I interacted with. Decades of liberal policies have left many cities, as well as the state itself, on the verge of bankruptcy but the resolve among conservatives is stronger than ever. Our goal was to leave the patriots we trained with the knowledge necessary to make a tangible difference in the direction California is headed.

Your Tax Dollars at Work: Quail and Cocaine
The National Institute of Health, in a surpassingly frivolous and mind bendingly irresponsible foray into the realm of the meaningless, gave a $181,000 grant to a scientist at the University of Kentucky studying the effect of cocaine on the sex drive of Japanese quail.
Read MoreA need for servant leadership
Why is it that the liberty movement been so appealing to so many? One reason is that people are finding it more and more difficult to hold their elected officials accountable. But why has this become so difficult to do? In my opinion, it is because many elected officials no longer make it a priority…

An Op-Ed from an American Majority Facebook Fan. We are in quite the financial straits, both here in America and around the world. The one piece of advice I keep hearing from advocates, however, is that we must spend our way to a recovery. There is just one fatal flaw in this assumption. Where does…
Read MoreWhy Conservative Women Matter
I’m blonde (mostly naturally). Five-foot-three. At last check, I was getting close to tipping the scale over 100 pounds. I haven’t checked for a while. My idea of a day off involves a good book, a long spa appointment, and as much dark chocolate and white wine as I can get my hands on. You…
Read MoreTurns out Lebron James is just like the rest of us
Many factors surely played into Lebron’s decision. Yet, when all was said and done, it turns out that Lebron is just like the rest of us. He’s an entrepreneur who wants what’s best for himself and his family and wants to try and be the best in the vocation he has chosen.
Read MoreAmerican Religious Freedom Part II: The Present
Institutionalized secularism is the single largest threat to American religious freedom today. We may not think much of a court decision here or there, but the ripple effect of degraded religious freedom will have enormous repercussions for our liberty as a whole, the state of our culture, and our well being as a nation.

Reprinted from Investors.com Policy Failure: Greece was told that if it wanted a bailout, it needed to consider privatizing its government health care system. So tell us again why the U.S. is following Europe’s welfare state model? The requirement, part of a deal arranged by the IMF, the European Union and the European Central bank, is…
Read MoreTRUTHS EXPLODE ON THE FOURTH
The arrival of Independence Day 2010 encouraged me to do some reflecting on the frustrating political fray that swirls continually around us. I have had nearly 2 years in this churning cauldron and – as with all things in life – the deeper we wade into anything in this life, the more we learn how…
Read More“Do I Have To?”
It’s something that was asked a lot during American Majority’s “Precinct Power” presentation at last weekend’s Texas Defending the Dream Summit in Austin…. Remember: stickers and signs don’t vote on Election Day, voters do.
Read MoreThe Hope for Our Country Lives–Out Here
I’ve met a lot of people across the country since those news cameras caught me doubting Barack Obama’s ideas for giving my money to someone else. Over the last 18 months I have mostly enjoyed my role speaking as and for average working Americans. Nobody puts a cordon around me to keep the “little people”…
Read MoreWhy Me?
I recently started working at American Majority in the Kansas office as a Field Representative. I came into this job feeling confident in myself and my ability to make an impact. I felt as if I had been preparing for this opportunity since I realized my passion for politics. The only part of this job…
Read MoreUtopian Statists vs. Optimistic Realists
I posted this earlier today at RedState.com: I’ve been studying the Progressives the last few months, and I think this post will be the beginning of a series, or at least a conversation starter for another post or two. It’s struck me in my studies that the Progressives and America’s Founding Fathers are on the…
Read MoreConvince Others by Writing Well
In Oklahoma, we are a little less than three weeks away from our Primary Election. The candidates are furiously traveling their districts in an effort to convince the citizens to cast a vote in their favor on the 27th. As an American Majority field representative, my job responsibilities require me to go into my territory…
Read MoreAren’t You a Little Young to be a Conservative?
Over the last few years, there is one question that I have gotten a lot and one question that drives me up the wall: “Aren’t you a little young to be a conservative?” My apologies. I was unaware that there was an age requirement to being conservative. But I am proud to admit, my name…
Read MoreCirque du Kagan
This is the Progressive endgame. Feign respect for judicial impartiality all the while resigning one’s votes to the dictates of social engineering from on high. Sen. Leahy and his Progressive colleagues play the game well.

Community Guest Post This is the amount of money spent by the Federal Government in Fiscal year 2009 on Education: $142,979,796,091.

Read MoreThe Signers of the Declaration
Two hundred and thirty-four years ago, 56 men stood around a table and signed their names to a document we’ll be celebrating this weekend- the Declaration of Independence. Together, they pledged their “lives, fortunes and sacred honor” to a grand experiment, an idea of a republic in which balanced order and individual liberty were the…

I love bacon cheeseburgers. I honestly do. Give me a solid bacon cheeseburger covered in ketchup and mayo with a side of fries drenched in salt along with a frosty beverage and then a strawberry shake for dessert, and you have the making of my “Death Row Meal”. The problem with those foods, however, is…

Read MoreAmerican Religious Freedom Part I: The Past
There are about as many opinions on religious freedom in America as there are Americans, and this blog certainly won’t please everyone. However, because faith is of such importance to so many Americans, why should it be taboo?
