This is What Real Change Looks Like

    At American Majority, we get the chance to witness events that definitively affirm our ongoing efforts to empower the conservative grassroots. We believe that national, generational change begins in your states and communities. This past Tuesday, we were fortunate to witness such change in Wisconsin, and I want to take a moment to share with you the fruits of our labor and the labor of | Read More »

    20,000

    From the diaries by Erick. American Majority is one of the few organizations I fully support with no caveats. Glad to have them here . . . Every now and then you hit milestones, either in your personal life or with an organization you’re a part of, and it causes you to reflect a little on how and where you got started. American Majority, the | Read More »

    The Relentless Pursuit of Americanism

    From the diaries. It should be no secret to anyone who reads my columns in The American Spectator or my posts here that not only do I strongly believe that America is in crisis but that the values espoused by the conservative movement are being trampled to dust, which is such a gentle term for the reality of what is actually taking place.   Why this | Read More »

    The Demise of the Tea Party is Greatly Exaggerated

    Promoted from the diaries Certain people keep opining that the Tea Party is all but dead, but those who wish for the demise of the Tea Party are missing the emerging new political infrastructure where Tea Party groups have set aside rallies for political action. Consider Wisconsin to determine where the Tea Party is going in 2012 and beyond. From New York to California, newspapers are | Read More »

    American Majority Racing and NASCAR

    From the diaries by Erick On Thursday, American Majority launched an unprecedented program to engage NASCAR fans this year and promote fiscally conservative values on Fox News.  American Majority Racing is a year-long project in conjunction with MacDonald Motorsports, challenging millions of race fans to “Pledge to Vote to Keep America Free.” Car #81, driven by rising NASCAR star Jason Bowles, is going to be on the track for the entire Nationwide series | Read More »

    Newt’s a Political Swinger

    The first rule of medicine is the first rule of politics and it’s simple – “Do No Harm.”  As this bad reality TV show of a GOP primary season continues and Gingrich gains some momentum, evangelicals and other conservative groups desperately searching for the anti-Romney should think about the bigger picture.  Similarly, Tea Party groups should look to their backyards for more exciting candidates and | Read More »

    The Danger of Projecting Hope

    From the Diaries… Newt Gingrich is still leading Mitt Romney and Ron Paul in Iowa, and nationally among Tea Party voters.  But like so many polls, the numbers aren’t what they seem.  In fact, while it might look at first glance that the conservative grassroots are flocking to Gingrich, there are still too many Tea Partiers on the sidelines for comfort.  In order to beat | Read More »

    What You Should Be Doing on September 17th: American Majority’s Training Bomb

In 14 cities across the country (with more coming online in the next week), from New York City, to Dallas, to Fayetteville, NC (in conjunction with Heritage Action for America), to Hartland, VT (with RedState’s Aaron Gardner) to Nashville, TN, we will be training on how to win politically: politics is | Read More »

    American Majority’s Training Bomb, September 17th

    On September 17th, 2011, we will celebrate the 224th anniversary of the signing of our Constitution. It is one of the greatest political documents in history, and has provided us with a roadmap to become the most prosperous and free nation the world has ever seen. But in 2011, the principles of limited government and individual freedom are in question, and we are at a crossroads: do we go down | Read More »

    The Pickens Plan and Crony Capitalism

    I still find it strange when those who claim they believe in free enterprise, limited government, reducing government intervention in the marketplace and fiscal responsibility, suddenly take an “Everywhere but in my house” approach. I am referring to the more than 80 House Republicans, many of whom claim to be conservatives, who are co-sponsoring H.R. 1380, otherwise known as the Pickens Plan after Texas energy | Read More »
