All three Iowa Supreme Court justices up for retention election have been ousted from the bench. Around 54 percent of Iowans voted not to retain each of the three judges: Supreme Court Chief Justice Marsha Ternus and associate justices Michael J. Streit and David L. Baker.

There were 74 judges, including three Supreme Court justices, on the ballot Tuesday. Only the Supreme Court justices, however, came anywhere close to being removed from the bench. The highly charged campaign featured more...

Hey Freepers, How about a thread of 2010 Election Voter Guides and Score Cards for some quick facts on incumbent voting records? Score Cards are a great way to learn how incumbents have voted in the past on issues.

Please help us get this information into the hands of as many people as possible by forwarding it to your entire e-mail list of family and friends. God returns to the Capitol Visitors Center Congressman says YOU and your AFA made the difference! October 6, 2009 When the $621 million Capitol Visitors Center opened last year, somebody was conspicuously absent at the opening ceremony: God. Virtually all references to the role that faith in God played in the founding and development of the United States had been scrubbed from displays. The secular fundamentalists who designed the exhibits even mistakenly said...

As we enter the eighth month of our punk presidency, the left’s desperation to enact the slow but sure evolution to statist health care favored in reality by Barack Obama has reached a fever pitch. Not coincidentally, boycott fever seems to be sweeping the nation. Two of them, assisted heavily by establishment media coverage, are quite visible. One that is perhaps as effective is largely unrecognized in elite circles. Finally, the most effective one may be a totally unorganized refusal to buy largely lurking behind the scenes. First, there is the situation with Whole Foods Market Inc. (WFMI). In an...

A Tale of Two Bunnies by: Malcolm A. Kline, August 03, 2009 We have long wondered precisely what post-graduate activity women’s studies courses prepare young women for. The Bunny Ranch has given us an answer. “Last year a 22-year-old Californian going by the pseudonym Natalie Dylan decided that a fun thesis for her master’s degree would be the following experiment: Auction her virginity to the highest bidder,” Ed Vitagliano reports in the August 2009 issue of the AFA Journal. “Dylan had already earned her bachelor’s degree in women’s studies and, in September 2008, while working in preparation for entering a...

David Limbaugh speaks at 9 AM & 10:45 AM. Lt. Col. Oliver North will speak at 7 PM.

Dear President Obama: You are the thirteenth President under whom I have lived and unlike any of the others, you truly scare me. You scare me because after months of exposure, I know nothing about you. You scare me because I do not know how you paid for your expensive Ivy League education and your upscale lifestyle and housing with no visible signs of support. You scare me because you did not spend the formative years of youth growing up in America and culturally you are not an American. You scare me because you have never run a company or...

Apparently our Commander-in Chief's inability to effectively articulate himself when he is not in close proximity to a teleprompter isn't something only we on the right have noticed... our VP made some candid quips at the Air Force Academy graduation about his boss that can only be characterized as, well... Bidenesque...
