WASHINGTON– [Texas] Republican Senate candidate Dwayne Stovall has garnered an endorsement from Grassroots America– We the People, a statewide tea party group based in Tyler. The endorsement buttresses Stovall’s recent claims that he’s the tea party favorite against Sen. John Cornyn. “As far as we’re concerned, [Stovall's] the only viable candidate in the race,” said JoAnn Fleming, executive director of Grassroots America. “We didn’t even consider Steve Stockman because of his record of being less than honest with the media about his campaign finances. We also don’t feel he has the temperament.” The group has expressed a marked lack of...

Virginia's Attorney General Mark Herring recently stated his office will not defend the Commonwealth's Constitutional definition of marriage as solely between one man and one woman, approved by general referendum in 2006. By doing so, Attorney General Herring is in violation of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia - which provides for mechanisms to amend the Constitution by popular vote - an action that shows contempt for the will of the people of our Commonwealth by circumventing the people's will through legal maneuvering. Therefore, Attorney General Mark Herring demonstrated he is unfit for the office of Attorney General and...

As of yesterday, my Mom was told that his liver is failing, and they can't seem to get his electrolytes corrected (potassium too high, ammonia level is too high, calcium is too high, and sodium is too low), which could be what is causing his awful confusion. There is talk about bringing hospice in, but the oncologist is hoping to start him on radiation therapy, since it seemed the chemo drug may have caused too many side effects."  ...
