Hello from the blogiverse. I made that word up because, as I tell my kids, I am pretty much awesome. It's been a weird and crazy past couple of months. We have had about 10 GOP presidential nominee debates varying in their degree of interest and relevancy. It has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know our many candidates and I have honestly changed my mind quite a few times about who I will

Our Annual family photo downtown on the square in Fayetteville. We have been doing this for quite a few years now in the very same spot. I am still waiting for the year when there is snow to make the photo even more beautiful! From left to right: Ethan, Stefani, Joey, Hallie (in Joey's lap), and Anna. How I love our little family and our Christmas traditions.

Phil Kerpen is one of the great regulatory geniuses of our time. He seamlessly breaks down complicated issues like "cap and trade" and "net neutrality" in a way that even those new to the political scene can understand. His new book Democracy Denied will equip you with the facts you need to dramatically influence your elected representatives from the local to the federal level. You will be

This blog post is actually comprised of a few responses I made to a thread on Facebook regarding Arkansas House Bill 1282 The short title reads: TO CLARIFY THAT A LIQUOR PERMIT APPLIES 15 TO ONE LOCATION AND A PERSON, FIRM, OR 16 CORPORATION SHALL NOT USE A LIQUOR PERMIT 17 FOR MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. The following are my reactions to this bill and not to a particular person or legislator. ____

A couple of months back Joey and I were driving across town and somehow the subject of the military came up. I don't recall exactly what the topic was but considering my line of work it was not unusual to be discussing these matters. As the conversation progressed, Joey mentioned he had always wanted to do something with the military and regretted never acting on that. He lamented about being too

You may find it interesting to know which of these two Democrats has been more creative, and even more conservative in the use of your tax dollars when it comes to their staff salaries. Don't get me wrong, legislative work is tough and I don't mind folks earning a decent living. But let's take a look at who is being the better fiscal conservative here: For the 2nd half of FY 2009 Senator Blanche

Over the weekend Donnie Copeland, candidate for Lieutenant Governor here in the Natural State, said he wants to give every Arkansan a $4,000 tax credit in order to build a “safe room” onto their home that will withstand an F7 tornado.

Many construe Reagan’s statement to mean after the primary, a debate that will surely never be settled. The actual quote was coined by CA GOP Chairman Parkinson in 1965 during the CA Governor’s primary after witnessing the relentless assaults on Goldwater from left leaning Republican moderates like Nelson Rockefeller in 1964 and the loss of the general election to the Democrats. – “Thou shalt not

I was one of those women who, when asked "what do you do," would respond with the standard, "oh, I'm just a stay at home mom." Looking back I cannot believe I ever thought that way. Moms are the backbone of our nation. We shape the lives of our future leaders. We are their teachers, mentors, and counselors. We are not "just stay at home moms." We are the sculptors of a nation.

Today the Thune Amendment came up for consideration in the US Senate. The Amendment would have guaranteed reciprocity of concealed carry licenses accross the 50 states. Many states already recognize permits from other states and this law would have made the right to carry law universal.As a procedural vote it required 60 votes to pass. Unfortunately, it was defeated 58 to 39 with two not present.

By now you know that I am squarely on the side of the GOP. There are times when loyalty within that party can be challenged, as well as its leadership and members. Challenges keep us sharp and changes keep us fresh.Having said that, it was reported at www.nwaonline.com this morning that Republican Congressman John Boozman of Arkansas' 3rd District will be facing a challenger in the 2010 primary.

You probably haven't the slightest clue about the political make up of Arkansas (like most people). That's OK. For most people this is relatively unimportant and unrelated to their daily lives. However, if you are a Conservative, regardless of whether or not you live in Arkansas, you need to have a clue.
