A New Kind of Help for Women Undergoing Cancer Treatment

By Ashley Sewell
In 2009, an estimated 713,220 women were newly diagnosed with cancer. The “C” word triggers other words: chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.

A Good Ol’ Boy, A Big City Girl, and A Product of the Grassroots

By Ashley Sewell
Ask any Texan and you’ll find that the Lone Star State is unlike any of its other 49 counterparts.

GUEST BLOG POST: Transparency Critical in Health Care Negotiations

By Rep. Geoff Davis (KY)
President Barack Obama and the Democrat Majority in Congress have spent nearly a year entirely focused on one goal: a costly government takeover of health care.

Gender Cop Out: The GOP doesn’t have a “women problem”

By SGP member Lucy

Keep your hands off my health care, Congressman Connolly, and your staffer’s hands off my body

Last week, Rep. Michele Bachmann called on Americans to converge on Washington, D.C. on November 5th to protest the mammoth, destructive health care bill being pushed by Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat cohorts. She called it a “Congressional house call,” and asked that we visit our Representatives and let them know that we don’t want [...]

No Rhetoric, Just Reality with Congresswoman Lummis

By SGP member SusanAnne
It may be the freshman Congressional representatives that have the right perspectives of what needs to be done in DC. It’s refreshing to speak with Congresswoman Cynthia Lummis, a freshman Republican representative from Wyoming. Wyoming, you should be proud.

By Anthony Bialy
We can buy our own paintings. That’s the primary lesson to take away from learning that the National Endowment for the Arts got caught using government resources to praise the government.
