Georgia Town Proposing Mandatory Gun Ownership

Nelson, Georgia is proposing a plan that has some people up in arms.

Their idea is to require the head of every household to own and carry a gun.

It does allow for exceptions to the rule, such as felons, religious beliefs, and mental or physical inability to carry one.

City officials say they decided upon plan, as the they only have one police officer, who works eight hours five days a week.

Other than that single officer, the town is dependent on two different sets of county sheriff's, as the town lies on the border, who are far away.

Opponents of the plan aren't actually bothered by an increase in gun ownership, they are upset that it's a government telling them what they must do.

How Long Til Paul Joins The Longest Filibusters?

Currently Senator Rand Paul in now into five straight hours of his filibuster of the vote of John Brennan's nomination to be the new head of the CIA.

In US history, there have been several filibusters in the senate.

Some of them have gone for quite some time, much longer than Paul's has, so far.

Here's a look at the five longest filibusters of the Senate.

• In 1957, Storm Thrumond of South Carolina, Democrat, filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1957 for twenty-four hours and eighteen minutes.
• In 1986, Alfonse D'Amato of New York, Republican, filibustered an amendment to a defense for twenty-three hours and thirty minutes.
• In 1953, Wayne Morse of Oregon, Democrat, filibustered a bill to give states control over oil leases for twenty-two hours and twenty-six minutes.
• In 1908, Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin, Republican, filibustered a bill that would have allowed the US Treasury to lend money to banks for eighteen hours and twenty-three minutes.
• In 1981, William Proxmire of Wisconsin, Democrat, filibustered against raising the nation's debt limit for sixteen hours and twelve minutes.

New Direction for the GOP Begins at the Local Precinct Level – Conservatives Needed to Run for Office, Volunteer

Anger and frustration continue to mount as Americans express alarm at the direction in which the country is headed. In order to turn the tide and boost mid term and general election results, conservatives must significantly increase political activity at the local level, the precinct. As the precinct leader, the committee person (or captain) is the only party official directly elected by voters.  

An individual serving in this capacity is the primary contact between voters, candidates and elected officials; the precinct committee person votes directly for the leadership of the party.

What are the responsibilities of a committee person? The following is a general checklist which may vary depending on the precinct:

• Elect a precinct captain to assume overall precinct leadership.
• Divide your precinct into geographical areas and assign portions of the precinct to each precinct committeeman.
• Recruit precinct volunteers and assign specific blocks (or areas) to them for door to door and telephone work.
• Have registration forms available in your precinct. Regularly check for newly moved in Republicans and also for families who will have members turning eighteen years of age before the next election.
• Maintain up to date records of the current Republican residents of your precinct.
• Attend precinct meetings. These are called for updating records, planning strategy and other organizational purposes.
• Attend district and or county Republican meetings. These will be great places to share information and ideas.
• Assist your precinct captain in recruiting election board workers.
• Assist your precinct captain in establishing election day GET Out The Vote (GOTV) committees and a Precinct Election Headquarters.
• Distribute election information and candidate literature to the voters in your precinct.

How effective is this strategy? Well, Obama utilized it successfully against Hillary Clinton in the 2008 primaries. According to The Precinct Project, Obama and his backers “came out of nowhere to defeat the complacent ‘powers that be’” in the Democrat Party.

Many of the Republican Party precinct committee person slots, across the nation, are unfilled. Of the four hundred thousand slots nationwide approximately two hundred thousand are vacant. This represents a huge opportunity for conservatives.

So, in summary, a precinct committee person is tasked with helping to grow the party and with delivering the maximum number of votes from their precinct, on Election Day.

Arkansas Overrules Governor's Veto on Pro Life Act

Governor Mike Beebe, of Arkansas, had vetoed the Arkansas Human Heartbeat Protection Act.

However, Tuesday saw the Senate decide to over rule the veto, with a vote of twenty to fourteen.

On Wednesday, the House joined them with a vote of fifty-five to thirty-three.

It was mostly bipartisan, but several Democrats did come over to the Republican side.

The Act will be challenged in the courts, as it has an earlier recognition of life, than federal laws do.
