It is time to hold Senators that ran saying they were pro-life accountable for their words!  The Heartbeat Bill must be taken to the floor for a vote.

Possibly the most important pro-life rally in America’s history is being planned. All pro-life Ohioans need to be there.  Click here for information (directions and parking, etc.)  on the “Final Push Rally” to be held May 19th at the Statehouse.

If you are wondering what in the world is going on check out “an open letter from Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus”. See the other side of the legal argument from Constitutional Attorneys such as Jay Sekulow from the American Center for Law and Justice.

More than a dozen states are poised to enact similar laws.  Passing the Heartbeat bill will be actively helping them achieve this goal.

It’s time to decide in favor of life!  No more excuses!

In addition to today being Tax Day, it’s also, coincidentally, “Tax Freedom Day” — meaning that it has taken from January 1 until now for Americans to earn enough money to pay this year’s federal, state, and local tax bill — 29.2% of all our income. In other words, for the first 111 days of the year, everything you earned went straight to Uncle Sam. Compare that to back in 1900, when Americans paid only 5.9% of their income in taxes and Tax Freedom Day came on January 22.

The Tax Foundation reports that because of higher federal income and corporate tax collections, Tax Freedom Day came four days later this year than last. And the bad news is that unless Washington takes action, it will take working Americans 11 more days to meet next year’s tax burden.

That’s all due to Taxmageddon — a slew of expiring tax cuts and new tax increases that will hit Americans on January 1, 2013, amounting to a $494 billion tax hike. Heritage’s Curtis Dubay reports that American households can expect to face an average tax increase of $3,800 and that 70 percent of Taxmageddon’s impact will fall directly on low-income and middle-income families, leaving them with $346 billion less to spend.

National Review Online recently wrote ^[1] about the importance of states not implementing the state insurance exchanges in the ongoing fight to stop Obamacare:

The most important front right now is to ensure that states do not create the health-insurance exchanges Obamacare needs in order to operate. Refusing to create exchanges is the most powerful thing states can do to take Obamacare down. Think of it as an insurance policy in case the Supreme Court whiffs.

Thanks to the citizens of Ohio (overwhelmingly) passing the Healthcare Freedom Amendment last fall, we have a tool at our disposal that many other states do not have as an additional firewall against Obamacare.  In short, because of the Ohio Constitution’s Article I, Sections 21(A), (B) and (C) ^[2] :

Section 21 (A) No federal, state, or local law or rule shall compel, directly or indirectly, any person, employer, or health care provider to participate in a health care system.

Section 21 (B) No federal, state, or local law or rule shall prohibit the purchase or sale of health care or health insurance.

Section 21 (C) No federal, state, or local law or rule shall impose a penalty or fine for the sale or purchase of health care or health insurance.

we have reserved the ability to stop implementation of an insurance exchange in Ohio.  The question is: How? The 1851 Center for Constitutional Law’s ^[3]Executive Director, Maurice Thompson, addresses this very question in a recent white paper ^[4] entitled Does Ohio’s Health Care Freedom Amendment Prohibit It From Enacting An Obamacare Exchange? In the paper, Mr. Thompson gives four concrete examples of how implementing the exchange in Ohio would violate the provisions of the Healthcare Freedom Amendment and open the door for immediate legal action against such implementation.  One example is as follows:

Through establishing an exchange, Ohio would be voluntarily assuming responsibility for enforcing the individual mandate. Section 18031(d)(4)(H),(I); 76 Fed. Reg. 41910-11. Ohio would be volunteering to use state officials and resources to turn in to the federal government those who may not have “minimum essential coverage” as defined by HHS. This indirectly compels Ohioans to participate in Obamacare, in violation of Section (A) of the Health Care Freedom Amendment – – essentially, Ohio officials will be volunteering to enforce Obamacare’s individual mandate, which is otherwise unenforceable in Ohio, on behalf of the Obama Administration.

As readers of this website are very aware, however, laws, constitutional amendments and human rights are sometimes just pesky details that get in the way of a bureaucrat’s attempt to make “progress” and their self-interest of achieving re-election.  Thusly, We the People must often remind them of their duty to protect and defend the constitution and remind them that they are in office to protect those rights so eloquently defined within those documents at both the federal and state level. We recommend that you visit

so that if bureaucrats in Ohio do indeed attempt to implement an exchange we can provide them with immediate push-back and a reminder that they cannot and must not do it.  We need to be prepared.

Hilary Rosen may have stepped on a hornets nest when she declared that Ann Romney, a self-proclaimed homemaker, didn’t work a day in her life, but I for one am glad she opened her mouth. While this personal attack was obviously made for political gain, it put a giant spotlight on the anti-woman agenda feminists have been pushing through our culture for four decades.

There was a time when home and family were the center of society and mothers were the greatest influence in their children’s lives. Patriotism, virtue, faith, self-sufficiency, hard work were all values taught and nurtured in the home. Children were cherished, mothers were honored, and homemaking was held in the highest regard – not just in the family but society in general. And then, we were liberated! And why not? I mean, what rewards are there in washing dishes and cleaning toilets, right?

A mass exodus ensued as women left their homes to pursue careers, and our world completely changed. Family became secondary to career out of necessity. We were thrust into a man’s world where we were expected to perform like men. We had to put in long hours and work hard for promotions, bonuses and raises because the men were, and we had to compete. We were climbing a tall ladder in the name of liberation, and there was no time for family on the rungs. Day cares opened up across the country, schools evolved into a convenient babysitter, and latchkey became a common adjective for children. Almost overnight we were living in a world where everyone was caring for our children except us. Read More »
