Have you been to a public high school lately? Maybe it is just the one I was in, but between the signs on the walls and classrooms, and what the kids tell me about their teachers and what they are learning, I get some distinct impression taxpayers are funding a leftwing indoctrination program for our children. I can't tell the difference between our schools and the faction of the labor movement that believes the future of the labor movement is not in "bread and butter" issues but is social justice and liberal causes and politics. I don't want our schools indoctrinating our kids with left-wing activism or right-wing activism. I want our schools teaching "the bread and butter issues," the basics. If there are going to teach about controversial and hyper-partisan issues that the country is divided on, they should be required to explain different points of views. Our schools should be a safe place to hold different points of view without feeling ...

The entire premise behind the lefts cries about inequality regarding the pay gap between the owner, and the worker is false. The idea that the worker has a right to a percentage of the net profits of their employer is mindboggling.   Did the workers: Abandon a steady paycheck to start a company? Sacrifice personal capital and put their skin in the game? Donate personal time and health to making sure the company succeeds? When a business is breaking even, and the boss is working 80 hours a week and living in the back room in his office trying to make the company successful, are the employees willing to take a pay cut below minimum wage? When a business owner fails, will his employees that are not out of a job, pay him/her unemployment? A person’s labor is determined by their skill level; it’s based on supply and demand. If you are doing a menial task that anyone can do, but you are working for a business that someone created a model that profits large...

The more divided we are the easier it is to find ourselves being ruled. Government survives off of conflict and controversy, it thrives off of victims. The stronger we the people are, the more unified our community's, the less power government has, the need for it simply disappears. We don't all have to agree on everything to learn to be civil. We can passionately disagree about issues and still be friend's working on common goals. Both the left and the right want many of the same things, they only disagree on how to get to the ends. Most of our division is coordinated by thought-out strategic planning used to control and manipulate us. Until there is a mass awaking to these facts, we will continue to be fragile and weak to a power structure that isn't accountable to any of us.

  What Making a Difference Looks Like “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you , then they fight you , then you win .” - often attributed to - Mahatma Gandhi As the Washington outreach coordinator with the Freedom Foundation, my job description is listed under “Freedom in Action” on the staff page of our website. What does “ Freedom in Action look like? Freedom in action looks like a small army going door to door across the state to inform union members of their constitutional rights to stop funding the political portion of their union dues or, in some cases, their ability to end paying dues altogether. It also looks like an aggressive legal team that b oth defends good ideas in practice and goes after bad ones . We will not sit by idly while good intentions are snuffed out and bad ideas are imposed unchallenged. But when you engage in a meaningful way to create change, especially when that change affects an existing power structure, those in position...
