In my quest for Truth, I just found this commencement address by Solzhenitsyn given at Harvard in 1978. He could not be more right. This speech is so actual, it seems that he wrote it just to explain the last events that we all are witnessing. Enjoy it!

From our Friends American Stewards of Liberty. November 17, 2010 Harry Reid has forced a Vote on Senate Bill 510, the Food Safety Act.

The EPA Ruling on … Dust??
The American Lung Association would like counties to pave roads and farmers to use no-till methods to grow their crops. In other words, a group who knows nothing about agriculture is telling agricultural producers how to cultivate and raise livestock. A representative for the Lung Assoc., Janice Nolen, dismisses the worries of farmers and ranchers by saying that they are alike the concerns of other industries when they faced EPA new regulations. And she adds “we have seen time and again where they were able to figure out a solution.” And at what a price lady?

Whisky Is For Drinking, Water Is For Fighting: Groundwater Wars, Texas Style
Whisky is for drinking, water is for fighting is the old saying in Texas. And it has never been proven so right as today.

The importance of redistricting: the power of future legislative battles is in our hands
My deep gratitude goes to former Texas House Speaker Gib Lewis for his input and encouragement on this article.
When I got involved in legislative matters I tried to escape as fast and as far as I could from everything that regarded redistricting. It looks very complicated, boring, and far from our priorities. I could not be more wrong.
Redistricting is vital in the way it makes chips fall on the table and give chances to win or lose our private property battles the future. It has been an eye opening to me learning about the history and consequences of this process, and how it helped shape our world and the current situation of our Great Country. And the more we know about our history and legislative process, the better we can fight back socialist political correctness and win back common sense and our traditional values. Our Founding Fathers created a system based on local control, and we the voters still hold the keys to it.
