Pundit Ann Coulter has joined gay conservative group GOProud as Honorary Chair of its Advisory Council, the group announced today: Coulter’s official title will be “Honorary Chair and Gay Icon.” “Ann Coulter is a brilliant and fearless leader of the conservative movement, we are honored to have her as part of GOProud’s leadership,” said Christopher Barron, Chairman of GOProud’s Board. “Ann helped put our organization on the map. Politics is full of the meek, the compromising and the apologists – Ann, like GOProud, is the exact opposite of all of those things. We need more Ann Coulters.” “I am honored...

I think it’s safe to say the entertainment industry – including the music industry - isn’t exactly friendly to conservatives and Republicans.Indeed, since 2008, the music industry has directed at least 80 percent of its annual campaign donations to Democrats, while the entertainment crowd as a whole donated over $8 million to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2016, compared to less than $300,000 to Donald Trump.And yet…Two music industry giants – the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) are now practically camped out on President Trump’s Department of Justice doorstep, hat in hand,...

State lawmakers began work Monday, three months after most of them were elected. Depending on how things play out during the first weeks of the 2015 Legislature, three months from now some of those lawmakers could find themselves on the ballot again — before the end of the regular session. Conservative activists are laying the groundwork to recall new Assembly Speaker John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas, freshman Assemblyman Chris Edwards, R-Las Vegas, and other moderate Republican legislators who refuse to flatly reject the tax increases proposed by GOP Gov. Brian Sandoval. If those activists go forward with recall petitions — under...

The head of the Nevada AFL-CIO proclaimed Tuesday that “working families are under attack” by Republican lawmakers who want to weaken collective bargaining laws and pensions now that they control the Legislature.Danny Thompson, executive-secretary treasurer of the organization, told supporters at the Teamsters Local 14 union hall that the designated GOP Assembly speaker, John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas, had sent a letter to local governments soliciting ideas for changes in public employee collective bargaining — the workers’ right to negotiate pay and benefits.Thompson, a former assemblyman, said he’s been watching the Legislature for some 35 years and he had never seen...

The former executive director for the American Conservative Union has agreed to serve on the advisory council for GOProud, a homosexual lobby that has approved of same-sex "marriage" and the repeal of the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy that allowed homosexuals to serve in the military if they didn't make an issue of their lifestyle choice even though the law banned that. According to an announcement today from GOProud, Chuck Muth, the former executive director of the ACU, is joining the GOProud leadership team. Christopher Barron, chairman of GOProud's board, said in a prepared statement the organization was honored to...

(Carson City, Nevada) – Citizen Outreach PAC today formally endorsed Nevada Republican Gov. Jim Gibbons’ emergency executive order (EO #666) issued yesterday afternoon which mandates the removal of all curtains from private polling booths for the duration of early voting, as well as on Election Day in two weeks. The governor cited weak polling numbers for GOP candidates as the reason for the unprecedented action.Gibbons’ executive order - titled the “Voter Free Choice Act” (VFCA) - is intended to make it easier for Republicans to organize the electorate and have them choose Republican representation in the Legislature next year. In...

If nothing else, this year's State of the Union speech, known inside the beltway as SOTU, served as a reminder to many conservatives why they are so darned displeased with much of President Bush's domestic agenda, but also why they had absolutely no choice but assure his re-election over Sen. John F. Kerry in 2004. Fear is a powerful motivator. And unhappy conservatives in 2004 harbored a double-dose it as they trudged to the ballot box. Fear that John Kerry would be in charge of the war on terrorists. And fear that John Kerry would get to appoint Supreme Court...

The ONLY argument in favor of keeping Chafee in his father's old senate seat is that at least he votes for Republican leadership; that his vote is needed to keep Republicans in the majority. However, Chafee is on record as saying that if his one vote could switch control back to the Democrats, he just might do it.

MUTH'S TRUTHS"Three Big Disagreements With Libertarians"by Chuck MuthFebruary 27, 2005 Having recently addressed the campaign nuts-and-bolts of getting limited-government candidates elected as members of the Libertarian Party, let's now take a look at three big issues which I believe currently stop many more conservatives from joining the them: Abortion, foreign policy and immigration.  These are NOT minor issues. Two things to recognize here: One, it's not necessary (or shouldn't be) for people to agree with 100% of a party's platform in order to be a member in good standing of that party.  A party which requires 100% thought compliance isn't...

AARP is using its members’ money to run full-page ads all across the country today maintaining the screwed up Socialism Security system “is not in need of radical overhaul” and that allowing you to VOLUNTARILY put some of your OWN money into a retirement program of YOUR choice is an “extreme measure.” In the ad, the far-left seniors’ group provides a TOLL-FREE phone number for folks to use to contact their congress-critter on the Social Security issue. So why not take this opportunity to give your member of Congress a little kick in the pants and urge them not...

“Talk Is Cheap...Let’s Go Play!” Delivered to the California Libertarian Party Convention Chuck Muth President, Citizen Outreach Los Angeles, California February 19, 2005 Thank you. Let me begin my remarks by predicting that in the next two years, Republicans are going to blow it. When Ronald Reagan was in the White House, we were told government couldn’t be restrained because Democrats controlled Congress. When Republicans gained control of both Houses of Congress in 1994, we were told nothing could be done because the Democrats controlled the White House. When in 2000 Republicans gained control of the White House AND the...

Taunting the Libertarian Bull There's an old saying my dad taught me as a kid: Don't fool with the bull or you'll get the horns. It appears Washington state GOP chairman Chris Vance missed that day in Life's Lessons 101. And a Republican candidate is now paying the price. Of course, I'm talking about Dino Rossi, who now appears to have LOST the 2004 Washington gubernatorial election by just 130 votes out of darn-near 3 million cast. The Fat Lady hasn't finished her aria on this one yet, but she's choking out the final chorus. Rossi will need to...

Homeland "security" is quickly becoming a sick and dangerous joke...and not just because of those pretty-colored security warnings the feds trot out every holiday weekend. Some examples... Tom Quinn heads up the Federal Air Marshal Service under the Department of Homeland Security. The air marshals he commands are supposed to secretly ride on passenger airplanes unnoticed and be ready to thwart any potential future hijackings. The key word here being "unnoticed." Alas, Quinn has mandated a dress code for air marshals which, as T.J. Bonner of the Border Patrol describes it, "makes them stick out like a sore thumb." Nevertheless,...

"John Kerry really stuck his foot in his mouth while brown-nosing the NAACP last week. Kerry went out of his way to criticize President Bush for refusing to address the anti-Bush, anti-Republican, anti-conservative, anti-white uncivil rights organization at their annual convention. 'You need to talk to all of the people,' Kerry admonished the President. And what a Pandora's box THAT has opened! Conservative organizations are coming out of the word-work demanding that Kerry back up his rhetoric by addressing THEIR organizations. Talon News reports that Gun Owners of America, Concerned Women for America and the Family Research Council have all...

Memo to Reporters FROM: MoveOn.org PAC's Research Team DATE: 3.5.2004 attachment. Revealing Picture of Hatch Surfaces On Internet: Hatch Caught in Embarrassing Online Tryst with Publisher of Stolen Democratic Documents Twice in the days before right wing activist Kay Daly published stolen Democratic documents on her web site, Senator Orrin Hatch appeared on fringe internet radio shows with her.

Manuel Miranda appeared on Ms. Daly's radio show just two weeks earlier. Kay...

<p>In a recent survey of Coloradoan.com readers, more than 60 percent agreed that in light of the Massachusetts Supreme Court's ruling directing the state to adopt legislation recognizing gay marriage, Colorado's Legislature should follow suit. Of 696 votes cast, about 40 percent said Colorado's Legislature should not follow suit.</p>

Tomorrow night on RadioFR: Always Right with Chuck Muth: My guest this week will be Utah House Speaker Marty Stephens.  Speaker Stephens is the only Speaker in Utah history to have been elected for a third term and is the president-elect for the National Conference of State Legislatures, a decidedly liberal-leaning organization.  Speaker Stephens is a true and recognized friend of taxpayers who is often discussed as a future gubernatorial or congressional candidate.  He was also intimately involved with a new report by the Representative Democracy in America Project that studied the declining participation of citizens, especially among the...

Tonight on Always Right with Chuck Muth (www.CitizenOutreach.com):  The Ten Commandments  From the beginning, I've thought Judge Moore's actions were troublesome.  He clearly has a religious agenda and is using his government office to advance it.  That being said, I also recognize that this matter is something that probably should be beyond the jurisdiction of the feds.  Lots of conflicts here.  And that’s what we’ll be discussing tonight on “Always Right with Chuck Muth.”    My guest will be John Machen, senior research editor for The Federalist, which is sponsoring an online letter of support for Judge Moore.  The...

WASHINGTON, July 28 /U.S. Newswire/ Citizen Outreach, a limited government advocacy organization, launched its new website today, saying its objective is to be a mainstream alternative to MoveOn.org, the leftwing grassroots activist organization which sprung up during Bill Clinton's impeachment. The new website can be accessed at http://www.citizenoutreach.com. "MoveOn.org has a big, five-year head start on us and they are very well organized," notes Citizen Outreach President and CEO Chuck Muth. "But they're attracting the kooks and the flakes; the socialists and the anarchists; the blame-America-firsters and knee-jerk peaceniks. They huff and they puff and they blow around a lot...
