Over the course of this year, I’ve published several articles chronicling my volunteer efforts to help elect Todd Tiahrt as our next U.S Senator from Kansas. As a former civics teacher of mine once told me, “It’s citizen involvement that will turn things around.” Volunteering is important to me; you’re giving something of yourself freely [...]

“Quotes”

My good friend, KSKidConservative, makes some really hard-hitting grassroots campaign videos. This is his latest regarding the U.S. Senate race in Kansas. Says he: Todd Tiahrt is running for the United States Senate. Recently, Jerry Moran released an ad called ‘Quotes’ that said Congressman Tiahrt was “slimy” – I have a list of quotes of [...]

I just received this email from a fellow Tea Partier from South Carolina, home of Senator Jim DeMint, who, breaking from the rest of conservatism, has oddly endorsed Todd Tiahrt’s very moderate opponent for Senate. As a native Kansan, a resident of South Carolina, and an executive board member of the South Carolina District 5 [...]

Happy 234th Birthday, America!

I love America. I love her for her mountains high, her prairies bright, and her beaches white. for her freedom, her liberty, and her God-given grace. for her willingness to accept “your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” I love America because, here, one truly can become whatever he or she [...]

The New Patriotism

On Saturday, June 26 the Olathe Republican Party hosted their annual picnic and straw poll. Candidates from Kansas’ Third Congressional District and those running statewide were invited to attend, pass out literature, and set up [...]

What a week working on the Tiahrt campaign! In the past few days, we’ve been given two huge endorsements, one by the Queen of Conservatism, Gov. Sarah Palin, and the other by the second-most listened to talk show host in the USA, Mr. Sean Hannity. Said Gov. Palin: I’m happy to endorse Todd Tiahrt’s campaign [...]
