I would just like to remind people that congress was not created to be a charitable organization and we need to sunset all government funding of charity. People who are capable of earning money are in a better postion to decide how that money will be spent and will be better stewards to make sure the money goes to sustainable projects that will transform lives rather than create societies of dependencies, like Detroit and New Orleans.

Working against the healthcare takeover in 6 congressional districts (Blue Dogs). 3 have committed to no votes, 2 are leaning no, one (Heath Shuler) is silent. Driving press attention to the conservative opposition at every turn, teaching Tea Partiers to get earned media. It's been a wild ride!

Obama has become the greatest catalyst for the conservative and libertarian movements. But will politicians listen to what people are really saying. They not only want LESS government that want a change in its function. They want a government that defends freedoms, not an interventionist government that rights perceived social inequalities or 'spreads freedom abroad' through military intervention.

The core beliefs of Republicans and the party are in flux. I think 2010, while a reaction to the Obama Adm and Progressives overreaching, but will not be a slam dunk run to the Republican Party for more big government, just a different flavor. We are in a time where the grass roots want to have an honest discussion of the role of government and I think Republicans will be surprised if they heard that a good portion of their platform is on 'to remove' list.

Not a big Barney Frank booster here, but one needs to do a context check before leaping over the falls on this one. Listen carefully, think cogently, act decisively.
