Seizing the Initiative in Washington
With an increase in strength in both houses of Congress Republicans must now use that new power to change the direction of the country. Blocking the president’s progressive agenda is important but it’s not nearly enough: conservatives must fight for constructive reform, not continued stalemate.
With that in mind, Congressional leaders should strike within...

With an increase in strength in both houses of Congress Republicans must now use that new power to change the direction of the country. Blocking the Obama agenda is important, but it’s not enough: conservatives must fight for change, not just continued stalemate.
Republicans should announce a brief set of clear goals and pledge to bring them to floor votes...

A MOVIE WITH A MESSAGE
The new movie NIGHTCRAWLER has generated well-deserved Oscar buzz for Jake Gyllenhaal’s charismatically creepy performance as a ruthless manipulator who sells bloody footage of crime and accident victims to a local news broadcast in LA.
