I’m always impressed with a new way of getting a message out, and Kristie Chapman has definately filled that bill with the personification of a campaign yardsign’s adventures in Mecklenburg…. ******************************************************************************************************* (Written by Kristie Chapman, campaign […]
Just when you thought progressive liberalism couldn’t possibly get any more ridiculous, our European friends have discovered yet another “right” that we as human beings share.

About eight years ago I was driving north on I-77 heading home to Huntersville when I was literally placed between a rock and a hard place. It was one of those instances of sheer “life flashing before your eyes” terror; much akin to the 2008 elections. To my right was the concrete “wall of death” […]

Parks Helms summed it up best with his famous quote, “I’m mad! I’m angry!” He wasn’t speaking about healthcare, but he’s not alone with that sentiment. With the passage of the “Comprehensive Health Insurance Reform” bill Sunday night by a 219-212 vote in the United States House of Representatives, millions of Americans who had actively […]
“KILL THE BILL!” That was the message that rang out from a giant crowd of 30,000 – 50,000 tea party activists who gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday for a last-minute protest against Congress’s efforts to pass the Obama-Pelosi-Reid government-run healthcare plan. Here’s just a few pictures from the massive gathering. Realize that this rally […]
Hat tip to Cindy Spyker and CAUTION for passing this along.

The Mecklenburg County Board of Elections began mailing out absentee ballots on March 15 and will continue to do so for all requests made by April 27th. Don’t have a stamp? Well, don’t worry.
