By: BRIAN COLE
Within the first half of May 2013, a trio of troubles has worked in tandem to undermine President Obama’s credibility. These problems surfaced only days after Obama had urged the spring 2013 graduating class at Ohio State University to reject the warnings from critics cautioning Americans of the trip towards tyranny taken by his administration.
News stories regarding the likelihood of a cover-up in the Benghazi attack, evidence of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) auditing and harassing Conservative and LibertarianGroups in the last three years, and the Justice Department’s illegal wiretapping of Associated Press (AP) journalists further call into question whether Obama’s actions are speaking louder or even contradicting his words.

May 19, 2013 by
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...“Tea Party” is a word that stirs strong emotions in many who hear it. A few years ago it was a word that emboldened conservatives and made liberals cower in fear. Times have changed. Are you aware that the term has recently reached an all time low in favorability according to a January 2013 Rasmussen poll?
In January 2013, 8% of voters identify as Tea Party, down from a high of 24%. 59% of voters have an unfavorable opinion of the group. How did the Tea Party’s image get so badly soaked?
The term “Tea Party,” to describe a political leaning, is a recent addition to our lexicon and has changed meaning as quickly as it has been defined,

March 25, 2013 by
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...On behalf of the taxpayers of Pinellas County, local Patriot Patrick Wheeler has reached into his pocket to pay the majority of the legal fees to bring the Pinellas County Commission into compliance with the will of the Pinellas voters who overwhelmingly (73%) passed a local referendum for term limits in our county for the commissioners in 1996. Unbelievably, 16 years later, the commissioners continue on as though this never occurred.
After a Florida Supreme Court Ruling in May 2012, Mr. Wheeler filed suit in July 2012 to force the Pinellas Commissioners to comply.
The first round was their attempt to have the suit dismissed by the Judge in early December at the first hearing. They lost and then promptly hired 4 more attorneys bringing their headcount to 8! As of this date the county has now hired 8 attorneys to beat the lawsuit.
If the lawsuit proves favorable for the plaintiffs, 4 Pinellas County Commissioners out of 7 will be outed.

This is huge opportunity to return our county to justice and out of the hands of career politicians spending us into bankruptcy and high taxes. This will help send a message that the people’s vote matters.
