Before the new Republican majority in Congress is even sworn in to office next January, it is already delivering results for the American taxpayers.



Bowing to pressure from Republican members of Congress, and finally recognizing the new reality that will see a Republican Speaker of the House next year, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has pulled his massive 1,000 page, $1.1 trillion spending bill from consideration on the floor of the Senate.



The bill Harry Reid was…

When the media and punditry review the 2010 election cycle, the economy, jobs and debt are widely viewed as the principle ideological concerns that drove voters to the polls. But it was a massive demographic swing of female voters behind GOP candidates that powered the wave that put a new Republican majority in the U.S. House.



The first swells could be seen in the 2009 special elections. In Virginia, despite considerable negative advertising from Democrats aimed at women,…

The Pelosi Congress just doesn’t get it. The American people are fed up with the wasteful Washington spending and the mountains of debt that the Democrat Congress have saddled the taxpayers with. The people are so fed up with it that they voted 63 Democrats in the U.S. House out of office and created a new Republican majority in Congress.



Even after that historic loss at the polls, the Democrats continue to spend like there is no tomorrow. Senate Democrats, pushing to enact their…

A federal judge in Virginia today confirmed what millions of Americans have believed since ObamaCare was signed into law – the federal takeover of health care is unconstitutional.

A new poll from Bloomberg News shows that more than 50 percent of Americans say they are worse off now than they were when President Obama first took office two years ago. About 66 percent say the nation is headed in the wrong direction and 50 percent identify unemployment as their top concern.



One of the chief reasons for this lack of confidence is the lack of… Continue

Continuing a trend that began shortly before Election Day, the Obama Administration has granted another batch of waivers from provisions of ObamaCare to private companies and employees unions. At least 222 companies and organizations have now obtained waivers from provisions in the health care takeover dealing with annual medical spending limit requirements.



Throughout the debate over ObamaCare,… Continue

As if losing their majority in the U.S. House in last month’s elections wasn’t enough, the Pelosi Congress now appears to have lost touch with reality.



In the same week that saw another ugly jobs report, Democrats in both the House and Senate voted for legislation that would raise taxes on job creators by hundreds of billions of dollars and pull money out of the economy that could be used by small business owners to invest and hire new employees.



According to the new… Continue

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Katie and I’m a married 34 year old and stay at home Mom to an active two year old boy. I have to admit I’m a little nervous and excited to have joined. I was raised in a very liberal democrat home but as the

The American people sent an unmistakable message to the Pelosi Congress in last month’s elections. They have had enough of the wasteful Washington spending that created more than $13 trillion in debt, and they want new leadership that treats the taxpayers with the respect they deserve.



Yesterday, the Democrats in the U.S. House provided even more evidence that they failed to hear the message delivered by the voters. Instead of taking action to cut government spending and tighten the… Continue

The Pelosi Congress, continuing to play politics with our nation’s economic recovery, has set a vote for Thursday in the U.S. House to extend just a few of the Bush tax cuts set to expire at the end of December. Despite promises of good faith negotiations from the Obama White House, Nancy Pelosi and leading House Democrats continue to push to allow hundreds of billions of dollars of tax hikes to hit just as our economy struggles to turn the corner.



Republicans in the U.S. Senate have… Continue
