Remember the hot immigration debate? The topic won't be headlining either presidential convention this year — and the border security issue barely drew a crowd Monday to a daylong anti-illegal immigration rally in Denver aimed at keeping immigration before politicians this fall. A rally by the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps featuring Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr drew just a few dozen people...

The anti-American left has announced their plans to descend on our nation's capital in September to help their terrorist allies overseas on the political front in Congress.September is going to be the mother of all battles. The left is going all out to bring about the defeat of America in the war on terror. Their immediate goal is to pressure Congress into giving up on the Iraq front so that their terrorist allies have a safe haven in which to wage war on America and our allies in the Middle East.They believe public opinion is on their side. And why...

(CNSNews.com) - Liberal activists plan to protest "Republican corruption" on Wednesday outside the offices of Americans for Tax Reform, where conservative leaders and activists gather weekly -- "to discuss their next moves," protest organizers said. The "Stop Corruption First" protest is intended to draw media attention to the "close connection" between congressional Republicans and the "business lobbyists who are funding their operations," a press release said. "The plan is to show up, peacefully conduct a protest with signs, and disperse after a half hour or so," said MoveOn.org Political Action, which is co-sponsoring the protest with the Campaign for America's...

ALERT: This message is specifically for DC-area activists. Can you take some time out tomorrow morning (Wednesday, Jan. 18) to counter a particularly nasty left-wing protest? The socialist wanna-be's at MoveOn.org, together with some of their far-left friends, are holding a morning "protest" from 9:45-10:15am outside of the offices of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). Most Wednesday mornings, ATR hosts a meeting of conservative and libertarian activists, Capitol Hill staffers and usually at least one representative from the White House. MoveOn.org can't stand the fact that conservatives are able to utilize their First Amendment rights to "peaceably assemble" in this...

I do not agree with this author's criticisms of the pro-troop movement. It seems to me that if we took his advice and sat back and were silent, the media would still promote Cindy Sheehan and there would NEVER be any coverage of the fact that a growing number of Americans are willing to step forward and tell the anti-war contingent their actions are not supported and are harmful to our nation, our troops and their missions in the war against terrorism. The author, talk show host Eric Hogue [of a Salem affiliate], also takes aim at the SupportTheTroopsWeekend.org website,...

Trouping for troops Vaca dad honors fallen GIs By David Henson/Staff Writer The Vacaville parent of a fallen soldier embarks on a politically-charged tour across the United States to speak out about the war in Iraq. Sound familiar? Not so fast. This isn't Cindy Sheehan, the so-called "peace mom" who stirred heated debate throughout the nation with her roadside anti-war protest near President George W. Bush's Texas ranch. This is Joseph Williams, whose son died in Nasiriyah in March 2003 and who has become a focal figure in a cross-country anti-Sheehan, pro-military bus tour. "The reason I'm going, I guess,...

<p>I'm writing to you to explain why it is that we are packing up and heading across the country to rally Americans to support the troops and the mission they are serving on.</p> <p>Each day the men and women of our Armed Forces serving in Iraq and Afghanistan endure grueling conditions - extreme heat and constant enemy fire. They've seen their friends wounded and killed in action.</p>

They were on the phones late into the night, planning, arguing, debating whether they should do it and how they could pull it off in just two weeks. About 2 a.m. yesterday, a coalition of conservative groups launched its official Web site, http://www.supportthetroopsweekend.org , cementing in cyberspace plans for a counter-protest that they hope will rival the antiwar rally planned for Sept. 24.

The Sacramento Marine mom who gained international fame for leading the “You Don’t Speak for Me, Cindy” caravan, is gearing up for another showdown with Cindy Sheehan and her allies in the anti-war community.

Defendthewhitehouse.org is a small, grassroots coalition of center-right activists who are organizing a rally for September 24th at noon in Washington DC under the banner, "ELECTIONS COUNT". The aim of this rally is to call Americans together in our nation's capitol to demonstrate the value we place on or nation, its founding principals of economic and political liberty and the sacrifices made, past and present, to ensure our liberty and prosperity. The system of liberty with which we govern ourselves performs so well that it becomes easy to take its mechanisms for granted. An abundance of material comfort has led...

RightMarch.com documents liberal bias of which it has been the victim in ads it attempted to place with search engine Google.com. It turns out that Democrat groups which are advertising in opposition to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay are allowed to run their ads, but with RightMarch.com attempted to run ads in opposition to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, they were denied because, "Google policy does not permit ad text that advocates against an individual, group or organization." This is all well documented here. Fascinating example of liberal control of some parts of the internet (and Google is no small...

Help us air our new TV ad exposing the HYPOCRISY of the Democrats on judicial filibusters! The far-leftist group MoveOn.org is airing ads across the country that are, as usual, misleading the American public. This time, they're showing elephants rampaging all over the Capitol building, claiming that judicial filibusters are a 200-year-old Senate tradition that Republicans are trying to smash. And the liberal group "People for the American Way" is running a five million dollar ad campaign which portrays the Senate filibuster as a noble tool of American democracy, when what's actually at stake is whether a minority of 40...

Well you're right -- but it's worse than you thought. Now, it turns out the people running the big search engines are liberally biased, too -- and they're CENSORING conservative search ad results! Specifically, we're talking about the biggest search engine: GOOGLE. Everyone uses Google. It's even a verb now -- "I'll Google that to find out." But it's also an advertising vehicle -- you can pay Google money,...

ALERT: As you know, Terri Schindler-Schiavo has passed away, the victim of an out-of-control tyrannical judiciary, politicians who couldn't or wouldn't stop the judges, and a man who had abandoned his wife long ago and shouldn't have even been allowed to stay as her guardian. The crowds outside Terri's hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida, are all going home, weary from the battle. While Terri is gone now, we still live to fight another day -- and we WILL fight the judicial tyrants, to honor the memory of Terri. We're already formulating battle plans to move ahead in the War on...
