Executive Summary:
An unlikely alliance between a talk radio host and a college professor, who got run down by an illegal alien, has sparked a turn-around for Tulsa, Oklahoma. From a sanctuary city it has become a watchful and wary city. And due to an extraordinary response by viewers, MSNBC has noticed and reported on this radical change.
The Supreme Court teeters on a knife's edge regarding lawsuits against faith expression in the public square. So, conservatives better redouble their efforts to restore a court faithful to our Founders' vision, or lose all that has been gained in recent decisions after the 2008 presidential sweepstakes.
“A New Jersey school’s decision to allow Christian students to enjoy the same free speech rights as other students could be the beginning of a nationwide trend to protect students’ rights. Northern Highlands Regional High School had blocked a Christian club from participating in the Day of Truth, a day for Christian students to express their views on homosexuality, but backed down after being contacted by the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF)…”
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Samuel Adams Wells, May 12, 1821:
The Declaration of Independence… [is the] declaratory charter of our rights, and the rights of man.
Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, September 12, 1821:
[T]he flames kindled on the 4 of July 1776, have spread over too much of the globe to be extinguished by the feeble engines of despotism; on the contrary, they will consume these engines and all who work them.

Dear Senator Specter,
I am writing to you as the Ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee. It’s useless to write to Chairman Patrick Leahy, because his views are the same as a minority of the Supreme Court Justices — whatever outcome in any case benefits the Democratic Party is fine with him, regardless of what that does to or with the US Constitution.
You, at least, say that you are interested in accurate analysis of the constitutional issues presented. I’ve read a couple of your books and I must say that your scholarship, except in the area of Scottish law, leaves a great deal to be desired.
But, […]
I just discovered that my most recent Op-Ed has been picked up by a local paper in Texas. My article – “Approval of Religious Expression Reveals False Dichotomy” – appeared in the Jacksboro Gazette-News and The Jack County Herald on June 12, 2007.
Richard Henry Lee, Resolution in Congress, June 7, 1776:
Resolved: That these colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states, that they are absolved of all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. That it is expedient forthwith to take the most effectual measures for forming foreign Alliances. That a plan of confederation be prepared and transmitted to the respective colonies for their consideration and approbation.
John Adams, letter to Abigail Adams, July 3, 1776:

Let your congressman know that you oppose the so-called Fairness Doctrine. Tell him or her that you support the Free Speech Doctrine instead.
With all of the debate over the now defunct illegal immigration bill in the Senate and the efforts of liberals to relaunch the so-called Fairness Doctrine – a clear assault on conservative speech on our nation’s air waves – it is easy to lose focus on the many other battles going on to preserve the civil rights for all Americans. One such right is the moral and constitutional right to self-defense.
Last week, a story in Jacksonville, FL, was ignored by the national media, but it should not have been. The story concerns the heroism of Colin Bruley, who came to his neighbor’s […]
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court just ruled on an affirmative action case involving a Seattle school district. The ACRU supports the challenge to the school district’s race-based student assignment plan. In Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, the school district argued its decision to use race is entitled to deference, a presumption of correctness before the law.
ACRU Senior Fellow and constitutional law expert Horace Cooper said that, “The Supreme Court today barred school assignment plans that take account of students’ race. It is a shame that more than 50 years after Brown v. Board of Education was decided by […]
