Hedging Your Bets

The biggest question in everyone’s mind is, what comes next and how do I not only survive, but thrive? We, as a population, have begun to figure out that the change we voted for is seriously upon us. Change brings instability, and instability brings opportunity for significant gain and loss. We are in unstable times [...]

A “Townhall” Event: Cincinnati, Ohio

By Laura Adelmann
The Women’s City Club of Greater Cincinnati hosted a healthcare townhall on August 3, 2009, with Congressman Steve Driehaus. The event was held at a local church and was standing room only with overflow into an adjoining room with speakers. Congressman Driehaus began with a speech after stating that he [...]

How About Some Good News?

Doom, gloom, and darkness.  There’s a lot of that going around.  Only a truly myopic pessimist can fail to see the good news as well.
The, call it downturn, we are experiencing has caused a great deal of pain and suffering.  It has also been an opportunity for Americans to perform a reality check, realize their [...]

Is this the kind of health insurance you want?

By Dr. Brian Russell
You may have noticed that I haven’t appeared on TV or written as much as I usually do in the months of June and July. That’s because, sadly, my father passed away earlier this month after a long battle with esophageal cancer. Simply put, he was a very good man. [...]

White House Economic Report is “only a rough measure” of a Justification for Reform

By Jill Serbousek

Nobody disagrees that access to healthcare coverage is important for all Americans. Everybody also agrees that healthcare coverage is expensive. Regardless of who is paying, being sick or injured is going to cost something. So it is obviously more “expensive” to be sick or to get injured than it is to be healthy. After reading the government’s recent “Economic Case for Health Care Reform” it brought up several questions and uncertainties that I have about the government’s intentions to “fix” the healthcare system. Below are my reactions to several of the statements in this rather confusing economic report. Please read their report thoroughly if you would like to better understand the government’s justification for healthcare reform. I’m not suggesting that you will find a good reason for reform in the report, in fact you may find a lot of inconsistencies, broad generalizations, assumptions, odd math, dozens of wishy-washy terms, a variety of hypothetical statements based on fuzzy math, etc. In fact, this report does NOT detail a plan for reform. Rather it is a report written by economists that dwells on the % of GDP that is being spent on healthcare. Regardless, it is a critically important document because it is the economic justification for the Obama administration’s campaign for healthcare reform, or ‘fix healthcare now.’

Um, “Free” Health Care?

By Jenny Erikson
There are two types of “free.” Free as in freedom, and free as in beer.Some things are essentially free. Rainbows, wildflowers, hugs and kisses from loved ones, and sometimes, a beer from a friend who says, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve got this one.”
As Americans, we are free citizens. It’s right there in [...]

US Senator DeMint Calls Americans to Fight!

This week GM won permission for a government-backed company to purchase GM brands including Buick, Cadillac and Chevrolet, in order to pay off millions of dollars of debt—elevating the phrase “big government” to a new level. As consumers are confronted by an ailing economy and a brittle banking system, how much longer will it be before the capitalist system becomes just a faded memory?

The following is an excerpt from Senator Jim DeMint’s new release Saving Freedom: We Can Stop America’s Slide into Socialism:

Psychopolitics with Dr. Brian Russell

By Dr. Brian Russell

It struck me this week how utterly disillusioned Henry Ford would surely be if he were alive to see this. I mean, he founded the Ford Motor Company over 100 years ago, and after all of the consolidation in the U.S. auto industry in the past century, his company is the only one of the remaining “big three” that’s solvent (not doing particularly well, but still in business, without taxpayer dollars). Henry Ford (and his heirs and shareholders) won.

Say NO to H.R.2454 TODAY!

SGN Readers,
Tomorrow (Friday) the House votes on H.R. 2454, the Waxman-Markley Energy Tax bill. Not only will this legislation cost the average American family $1,500 a year, it will also allow the government to hook its sticky fingers further into your lives. We all need more regulation, right?

American Solutions (Newt’s latest venture) sums up the latest, delightful offering from our socialist Community Organizer in Chief and his cronies this way. It will:

What’s in a name, ACORN?

By Lisa Farrar Wellman
ACORN? Apparently the people at ACORN think we won’t notice if they change their name to Community Organizations International. Sorry, gang. ACORN by any other name doesn’t smell any sweeter, let me tell you. These people are out to push a socialist agenda and commit voter fraud wherever they can get away [...]
