For more than a year, NAGR members and supporters have flooded Capitol Hill with hundreds of thousands of emails, calls, postcards, petitions and letters demanding Congressional leaders investigate and fire anti-gun Attorney General Eric Holder.
Because of your grassroots political pressure, the U.S. Senate was forced to hold hearings into Holder’s role in Operation “Fast & Furious,” the ATF’s gun-smuggling operation to Mexican drug cartels. Continue reading →

Earlier this evening my husband, Chris Loesch, had his Twitter account suspended. There have been stories going around of conservatives getting suspended from Twitter over innocuous things while accounts like @KillZimmerman (an account which threatened to kill George Zimmerman) and other such accounts were left active for weeks. After a user remarked about me being raped and murdered, Chris and others defended me.
I’m used to it, it’s part of the territory of doing what I do, enduring hate like this daily. Unfortunately, some progressives disliked that Chris pushed back against it as well. His account was suspended, yet this individual’s account, and the account of those who say far worse to me and others, are left alone. This is the only explanation we received:
I can only assume that either someone suspended it, or (and more likely) progressives targeted Chris’s account, reported him, and got him suspended.
Either way, conservatives didn’t react to kindly and launched a Twitter campaign the likes of which I haven’t seen since Wonkette and Trig Palin. #FreeChrisLoesch trended third worldwide.
In about an hour, after a massive push on Twitter from mobilized conservatives, his account was reinstated.
Speech is speech and is valuable, regardless whether or not you agree with its political intent. Unfortunately, those who claim to care about it the most are the biggest abusers of suppressing it.
I’ll update if I hear any explanations of what happened. Many thanks to those who acted.

Are you this determined to keep the freedoms which so many patriotic Americans fought & died to protect?
Well, are you?

Are These Just Words?
"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil, God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"It does not require a majority to prevail but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set bush fires in people's minds." - Samuel Adams
"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." - Thomas Jefferson
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.
There may be even a worse fate. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Winston Churchill

Many of the bloggers who started up in the last few years began out of an overwhelming need to bring to light many of the stories major media outlets fail to cover. Networks like FOX NEWS and talk radio can only cover so much. It is blogs like this one that, despite the liberal spin that we all get checks from the RNC, many of us do this as a labor of love for this country and the people who make it the beacon of freedom it is. Behind many bloggers are hours upon hours of research, writing, trips to events which we report on or photograph, and staring directly into the places that many tire of watching in order to stay informed and share. Many of us are paid in lack of sleep and time spent away from the ones we love.
If there is any blog you frequent or consider a source for information you would have trouble finding elsewhere, seriously consider making a donation. If not this one, than another one but help us continue to do what we do. Until they shut us down, we are the watchtowers in the digital terrain. Thank-you.

Beware the Weimar Republic
If we do not learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.
Part 1:
These are now times when each of us must work to preserve 'accurate' American History. To assist our visitors in more easily accomplishing this goal and in addition to our new Liberty Library we added this widget for videos on Youtube:
Help Keep America Safe
Support Legal Immigration
The Manhatten Declaration
Help keep religion in America FREE from government intervention.
Know Our History
Know the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and why they are worth saving.
It is also important to know the American history that has been buried away from blacks and white alike. One such example is "The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution."
In recent days socialists, communists, and other radical groups are on the rise to transform America along with Obama. One book that describes their plans is "The Coming Insurrection"
