2012 — Battleground for America's future It is going to get contentious this year. Our country and its future are worth fighting for, and there are two distinct views on that future.

Hold onto your horses, 2012 promises to be even more filled with political acrimony, finger pointing and low approval ratings than even the just departed 2011, but that is not a bad thing.
Every piece of legislation, regulatory action, speech and appointment coming out of Washington, D.C. in 2012 will be subjected to intense political scrutiny as advocates for vastly increased government responsibilities and power seek to maintain control of the White House.
Yes it is going to get contentious and personally I am glad. Our country and its future are worth fighting for, and there are two distinct views on that future.
The current occupant of the White House won with calls for "change" and a promise that he would be the first post-partisan president. He has spent the past three years attempting to institute a transformative government whose powers extend deeply into the economic and personal lives of every American.
From Obamacare which was designed to not have a major individual impact until after the 2012 election but will permanently change a patients relationship with their doctors to far reaching environmental rules that have taken forty year old laws and used them to expand standards resulting in the likely shut down of more than 75 coal burning electric power plants threatening the very electricity grid that Americans take for granted.

Get permalink here. Virginia's botched primary
By Brad Tidwell
If you're a voter in Virginia and want to vote in the Republican Presidential Primary, you may find out you only have two options to vote for the GOP nominee — Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. How did this happen? Why does it matter? And what, if anything, can be done?
Listening to most Virginia GOP officials, it would seem that the campaigns who weren't qualified to be on the ballot, particularly the campaigns of Rick Perry and Newt Gingrich, brought this on themselves. According to one county Republican official: "Nothing significant has changed in Virginia law on petitions in the past decade, except to make it easier to get signatures by reducing the requirement for Social Security number collection to a voluntary choice."
However, this is simply not the case. This November, one month away from the deadline to turn in signatures, the Republican Party of Virginia changed their standard for how they verified signatures. According to Richard Winger, a leading expert on ballot access issues,previous Virginia Presidential primaries requiring 10,000 signatures did not go through a validation process like what Newt and Perry's signatures went through. A legal case about ballot verification, which has not been decided at this point, convinced the Republican Party of Virginia to change its policy.
Get full story here. SEIU affiliate president steals from employees…gets sent to his room
Imagine someone broke into your home and stole several thousand dollars worth of your belongings, including your brand new car. And then, when they were arrested, in addition to having to repay you monetarily for what they stole, they only got probation and a miniscule fine. You'd be pretty upset, right?
Well apparently that is how little the United States government cares about theft. Recently the former President of the Workers United Local 335-T union in Chicago, John McMahon, a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) affiliate, was arrested for embezzlement of funds and falsifying union financial records. He was sentenced to two years probation with six months of home-confinement, forced to pay restitution and also an additional $25 fine.
Yes that's right folks. The third facet of the punishment was less than the average parking ticket. For stealing money from his union and their members, and falsifying documents to try and ensure he wouldn't get caught, this man gets sent to his room and slapped on the wrist with less money than he spends on gas.
