SSN: Florida Congressmen Join Joe Wilson's Fight Against Obama on Common Core

Florida Congressmen Join Joe Wilson's Fight Against Obama on Common Core

By: KEVIN DERBY | Posted: January 27, 2015

Conservatives in Congress are launching an effort pushing back against President Barack Obama on Common Core standards with members of the Florida delegation -- including Tom Rooney -- backing the effort.

 

U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson’s, R-S.C., “Local Control of Education Act” would stop the Obama administration from making states “adopt a specific curriculum, and would void any previous federal requirements established for states that have already adopted Common Core.” The Senate version is being backed by U.S. Sen. David Vitter, R-La.

Iran Nonsense

Iran Nonsense

VOL. 20, NO. 20 • BY STEPHEN F. HAYES


When House speaker John Boehner invited Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress in the coming weeks, the reaction from the White House was swift. In background interviews with reporters, top Obama administration officials made clear that they considered the invitation itself an affront and the acceptance of it a breach of protocol.

Please.

This is the same White House that last week had British prime minister David Cameron making calls to Capitol Hill to lobby lawmakers against more sanctions on Iran. It’s the same administration that had to apologize to Senator Marco Rubio and others for violating its pledge to “consult Congress” before making any unilateral changes to U.S. policy on Cuba. This is the same president who has boasted repeatedly of his ability and willingness to ignore the legislative branch and use his “pen and phone” to do what he wants. And this is the same administration that used the cover of anonymity to call Netanyahu “chickenshit” in a recent interview.

COMMUNISM IS ALIVE AND WELL - YOUR FREEDOMS SET TO EXPIRE SOON

COMMUNISM IS ALIVE AND WELL - YOUR FREEDOMS SET TO EXPIRE SOON

Communism is alive and well in education restructuring in America. The Reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), due for Congressional Hearings in March 2015, is the last nail in America's coffin. This bill, the ESEA Re-authorization, will affect YOU – Every American taxpayer! Every American who owns private property!

The ESEA is proof positive that COMMUNISM IS NOT DEAD! As Mark Twain once said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated." Similarly, any time you hear reports that Communism is dead, don't believe them!

Read Anita Hoge's analysis of the Re-authorization of the ESEA, known as Every Child Ready for College or Career Act of 2015 sponsored by Sen. Lamar Alexander. This bill amends No Child Left Behind which is the Re-authorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 referred to as ESEA.

Eagle Forum: Legislatures Should Curb Judicial Supremacy Over Marriage

Legislatures Should Curb Judicial Supremacy Over Marriage

by Phyllis Schlafly

January 21, 2015

 

It’s Roe v. Wade all over again, as the Supreme Court is poised to invent a new right to same-sex marriage found nowhere in the four corners of the Constitution. Fortunately, the Founders gave us checks and balances against this overreaching in power.

The Framers understood the tendency of a branch of government to expand, and they empowered both Congress and the States with the legislative tools necessary to avert the encroachment. A branch of government will transgress its boundaries until the other branches exercise their authority to restrain the breach.
