I confess, it is fascinating to watch the Republican consultants responsible for the Orca system debacle try and explain its inherent short comings away. Let’s begin with the first problem they face. They put an untested piece of technology in the field the day of the election. Let me repeat that-they put an untested piece of technology in the field the day of the election. | Read More »
In 46 states (excluding AK, MS, NJ, and RI), Mitt Romney either expanded the percentage victory margin or shrunk the percentage loss margin compared to McCain in 2008. In only 4 states did Romney win by a smaller percentage or lose by a higher percentage than McCain did in 2008.
Great news, right? Not so fast.
Judging by the current vote totals, Romney’s nationwide operation fell far short of McCain’s in 2008. In fact, Romney currently trails McCain by around 2 million votes.

While speaking with local firefighters and sheriff’s representatives in the | Read More »
As we approach the finish line of what I think is one of the most fascinating periods in this great American experiment, a Presidential election, it is clear to me and the team at the Madison Action Fund that we are literally a country at the crossroads of history. We have the choice between two paths. And while some will complain that the distinction between | Read More »
From the diaries… Labor union bosses, trial lawyers and the Wisconsin Democrats have been out to end the political career of Governor Scott Walker since the moment he took office. His move to reform government employee union collective bargaining rights was a public relations spark that ignited a partisan heap of half-truths and electoral grudges. To date, Scott Walker and his reforms are still standing | Read More »
We are told again and again by the Left, “There is no such thing as voter fraud in the American political system.” It is the rallying cry of Progressives as they simultaneously fight against common sense Voter ID laws while trying to steal elections. Like the Wizard of Oz, they frantically work the loopholes of the American political system while yelling, “Pay no attention to | Read More »
From the Diaries… As the Recall Walker effort submitted their signatures to the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board today (claiming 1 million signatures), Wisconsinites deserve a serious analysis of this Big Labor, big money game to force a recall election on the people of this state. We will be shocked at what is yet to come. Evidence is already mounting to suggest that Big Labor has | Read More »
In an exclusive story broken by Media Trackers (www.MediaTrackers.org), Wisconsin Democrat state Senator Lena Taylor, an outspoken critic of Governor Scott Walker, appears to be closely associated with voter fraud that took place during the spring elections in April of this year. Taylor is also one of the 14 AWOL state Senators that fled across state lines rather than vote on Walker’s Budget Repair Bill | Read More »
Calling all tea party and grassroots conservatives in Wisconsin! This is your moment. Your state is ground zero in the fight against the unions. We win there, we win everywhere. Why else do you think President Obama, Organizing for America and just about every element of the Left is focused on the fight in Wisconsin? Heck, even the godfather of the union movement, AFL-CIO President Richard | Read More »
It is becoming apparent that Wisconsin is ground zero for the fight agains the unions and their bloated pension plans. Today, 13 school districts in Wisconsin had to shut down because so many teachers called in “sick.” Those same teachers, oddly enough, showed up in Madison to fight against Governor Scott Walker’s budget repair bill because, horror of horrors, he’s going to actually expect unions | Read More »
We are at a turning point as conservatives. And quite frankly, we are a movement saved by the tea party-a plain spoken, salt of the earth movement that refuses to get wrapped around the axle by the Republican Party and the conservative establishment inside the Beltway. Even the word “conservative” itself was co-opted by the Bush Administration and elements of the Republican Party so much | Read More »
I have to be honest. I like John Thune. He’s a nice guy with a great family. I saw him stand in front of several hundred Hill staffers years ago and say, “I am a follower of Christ. This is what I believe and why.” It was a bold statement. But I was intrigued by the statement Mitch McConnell made a few days ago to | Read More »
As Erick noted earlier today, my fellow Texans have a clear, distinct choice as to who will be the Speaker of the Texas House coming up this Tuesday, January 11th. Let’s be honest. There is a clear cut difference between Joe Straus and Ken Paxton. For more on that, check this site out. In spite of all the ads he has bought on Drudge, NewsMax | Read More »
It is good to know people are reading my posts. Some of those people are Texas State Representative Linda Harper-Brown and her staff. After my post the other day, her chief of staff contacted me and asked that I clarify the quote that she felt I attributed wrongly to Linda Harper-Brown. For those of you who missed it, the portion of my post in question | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick For those of you watching the race for Speaker of the House in Texas, this week saw some fantastic events where local tea party groups gathered in front of their State Rep’s offices and asked them to vote for Ken Paxton over Joe Straus. I love it. This is what our democratic republic is built on-the freedom of assembly and | Read More »
[from the diaries...an important story that needs our attention...] I have said this a lot over the past few months: the American political landscape is going to change because of the tea party movement. It is organic. It is local. It is new to the process. It is engaged and passionate. Best of all, the movement as a whole chalked up some serious victories in | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick So, let’s recap the TX House Speaker’s race up to this point. Current Speaker Joe Straus is a man whose leadership team has killed Voter ID, threatened Members with redistricting, pushed the local gas tax, killed almost 10 times as many Republican bills in the House, is a man with a 100% rating from NARAL who also happened to give | Read More »
With just over one week to go, American Majority Action is launching three buses from the Washington, DC area and into targeted campaigns: two buses will leave from inside the Beltway and one from Purcellville, VA. Our team has been in the field for two months now with local tea party groups, manning Liberty Headquarters, making thousands of phone calls (see story here from the | Read More »
Thanks to Gateway Pundit for some great coverage of what American Majority Action and local tea parties are doing this fall season (story here). Get fired up, grassroots America. This is pure GOTV work enhanced with 21st century technology, outside the purview of either party. My goal is that this multiplies by 1000 come 2012!
I posted a few weeks ago about American Majority Action’s Liberty Headquarters in several key states (Ohio, Pennsylvania and Missouri). I am excited to announce that we’re opening three more Liberty Headquarters in Wisconsin this Thursday for the final GOTV effort and we’ve lined up buses to ship volunteers from Washington, DC and other cities into key races. This is an exciting time. The tea | Read More »
Now that we are in the midst of the final sprint of election season 2010, the issues that will decide the election are becoming clearer by the day. It’s about the economy and jobs. It’s about taxes. It should also be about healthcare reform. However, a recent Hotline poll showed Republican campaign insiders downplaying ObamaCare as an issue. We understand why the Republican consultants are | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick. Third parties in America need to die. Yes, I just said that. We are a two party political system. Oddly enough, the Progressives figured this out much faster than the Free Market movement. It started with leftist intellectual G. William Domhoff, who wrote in the 1970s: For Democratic Party ideology is what Democrats say it is-and what they say it is | Read More »
From the diaries by Erick. Over the last few weeks, thousands of people have voted in primaries across the United States. The most important message to those voters is that their job – and their opportunity – doesn’t end when the polls close. The opportunity to make change happen comes today and every day. Take the question so many conservatives are asking themselves today: How | Read More »
