AmeriPAC Blog Posts:December 07, 2011, 02:04 PM (CNSNews.com) - In a speech delivered at Osawatomie High School in Osawatomie, Kansas, on Tuesday, President Barack Obama argued that while a limited government that preserves free markets "speaks to our rugged individualism" as Americans, such a system "doesn't work" and "has never worked" and that Americans must look to a more activist government that taxes more, spends more and regulates more if they want to preserve the middle class. November 16, 2011, 08:07 PM Republican pressure is growing for Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan to step down from the vital hearing that will decide the future of America’s healthcare next year.Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions is leading the charge saying that newly released emails seem to show that Kagan was heavily involved in policy discussions on how to make sure Obamacare passed through Congress.Now Sessions is putting pressure on embattled Attorney General Eric Holder – who, at the time was Kagan’s boss – to come clean on what she knew and when she knew it. October 31, 2011, 11:17 PM While flocks of reporters chase Herman Cain around and ask probing questions about ancient and nebulous events nobody will go on the record to discuss in detail, some other news is going sadly underreported. Among these stories are the latest ticks of the Eric Holder Career Death Watch. As the Daily Caller notes, nine more members of Congress have called upon Holder to resign over his role in the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal, and the gigantic cover-up that major media sources other than CBS News have barely noticed:The latest group of members includes Republican Reps. Dan Burton of Indiana, Allen West of Florida, Lynn Jenkins of Kansas, Trent Franks of Arizona, Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, Mike Pompeo of Kansas, Duncan Hunter of California, Devin Nunes of California and Dennis Ross of Florida. October 17, 2011, 07:23 AM Barack Obama, US president, offered more support for protesters against the global financial system after a weekend of demonstrations in cities around the world, but called on them not to “demonise” those who worked on Wall Street.On Sunday, Mr Obama honoured Martin Luther King at a dedication to a new memorial on National Mall in Washington. Referring to protests that have spread from Wall Street to London, Rome and elsewhere, March 11, 2011, 07:07 PM Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia took to the Senate floor Tuesday morning to criticize President Obama for a failure of leadership in the effort to deal with the deficit and debt. Manchin deemed the two budget proposals expected to be considered Tuesday - a Democratic plan containing $6.5 billion in new cuts and a Republican plan to cut about $60 billion - flawed. The former, he said, "doesn't go nearly far enough" to address the nation's fiscal woes, while the latter "blindly hacks the budget with no sense of our priorities or of our values as a country." February 21, 2011, 04:17 PM In 2009, the country witnessed Chris Christie, who at the time was relatively unknown outside of New Jersey, defeat Democrat incumbent Jon Corzine for the governorship. Then it watched Christie declare a “state of fiscal emergency.” Then it watched him propose major spending cuts and give the proverbial middle finger to teachers’ unions. February 16, 2011, 03:11 PM Republicans took the FCC to task for enacting a net neutrality order without any sound market-based analysis to justify it at a House hearing Wednesday. “The FCC has done nothing to specifically quantify any harm requiring intervention, or the potential harm to consumers ... February 11, 2011, 08:07 PM House Republicans on Friday proposed cutting hundreds of programs across the face of government in a $61 billion package of spending cuts toughened at the last minute at the demand of tea party-backed lawmakers. Few domestic programs were left untouched - and some were eliminated - in the measure, which is expected to reach the floor for a vote next week. February 11, 2011, 07:57 PM As weeks go, House Speaker John Boehner's had better. First Republicans failed to extend parts of the Patriot Act. Then they fell short on a bid to claw back millions of dollars in excess U.N. funding. And then they started squabbling over the scope of their own budget cuts. February 07, 2011, 08:48 PM Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell said Thursday he has asked his attorney general to advise him on whether implementing and enforcing the federal health care overhaul would put Parnell in violation of his oath of office. A federal judge in Florida this week struck down the law as unconstitutional in a case joined by 26 states, including Alaska.
