Rob Port Mar 12, 2014 01:11 pm
The latest Obamacare enrollment numbers through March 1st were released, and the numbers are pretty ugly.

Obamacare: 6.17 Million Lost Insurance, Just 4.2 Million Have Selected New Plans


Rob Port Mar 12, 2014 11:08 am
Obamacare was supposed to be about insuring the uninsured, but so far the impact of the law seems to be a net reduction in the number of Americans insured.

Do Fargo Voters Expect The State To Keep Picking Up School Tab?

Last year the...

A brokered political convention, one where there is no clear nominee heading into a political party’s national convention, is something political wonks like to talk about but which hasn’t been a reality for decades (Adlai Stevenson’s nomination by Democrats in 1952 was the last truly brokered convention). But North Dakota Republican National Committeeman Curly Haugland...

Look at Obama’s crazy new law--starts July 1st 2014

Dear Reader,

We’ve been critical of several Obama Administration policies over the past few years…

But a new law set to go into effect on July 1st, 2014 (less than five months from now), might be the Administration’s worst decision yet.

On this date, Title V of House of Representative Bill #2847, known as “FATCA,” goes into effect.

We believe this could precipitate a huge collapse in the U.S. dollar… and a rapid decrease in our standard of living.

Of course, we’re not the only ones who believe this new U.S. law is going to be a disaster for our country and American citizens.

Andrew Quinlan of the Center for Freedom and Prosperity says: “FATCA is pound-for-pound the single worst tax law on the books.”

Even the normally liberal Atlantic Monthly magazine said: “FATCA seems to be turning into a nightmare and disaster.”

What does this law do… and why is it so bad for America?

The founder of our Research Firm has put together a detailed explanation of what is happening in America right now, and why this new law is something EVERY American should pay close attention to.

Get the facts for yourself, free on our website, here

Sincerely,

George Rayburn
