Speak the truth LOUDLY!!!

jason kraus

Words have value. Words used properly have power. Because of the PC crowd many are afraid to wield such verbiage. It isn’t the words we use that get us into trouble…it is the words we don’t use. It isn’t the things that are said to us that cause us pain. […]

Deserve and Earn are two different things

jason kraus

Entitlement is an interesting word. To be entitled to something implies that the something has been earned…but not in your possession. Why are we allowing others to hold what we’ve earned and dole it out at their whims or on their timetables? Social Security has been paid into by both […]

Without the 2nd Amendment there is no 1st.

It is those in any society who wish to oppress that scream the loudest about the tools that keep them from harming others. California alone has had elected officials rant about individual gun ownership only to discover later these same officials were trafficking in automatic weapons. The 2nd Amendment isn’t […]

Make your choice count

“You are free to choose but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.” Many in these United States do not understand or appreciate how many humans around the world are not free to choose for fear of imprisonment or death. The greatness of America has allowed each […]

The purpose of our mission never changes: To bring like-minded Americans together.  Shoulder to shoulder.  One voice at a time. Michael made […]

The Enemy of my Enemy is not my Friend

jason kraus

I was a sophomore in high school in the mid eighties and dealing with a couple of upperclassmen who were bigger and stronger than I.  For those of you who’ve read Late Bird a part of this story will sound familiar. This was sometimes a daily thing because I would […]

An American for United States Senate

jason kraus

“The greatness of America isn’t found in our differences. It lives—within our truths. In our agreement with one another to pursue happiness: to engage life in its fullest capacity. America isn’t easy. She isn’t supposed to be. Easy belies weakness. America is hard, like the hands of a farmer or […]
