COMMENTARIES
Protecting the rights of Georgia voters.
By George Dienhart | 06/02/09

Memorial day, and Succession
By George Dienhart | 05/26/09
As I attended our local memorial day festivities, my mind turned toward succession form the union during one of the lulls in the ceremonies. It seems to me that talk of succession shames Republicans who attempt to uses it as a wedge issue, and also allows the left to paint us as a bunch of radicals. We can't afford this type of behavior. We already have Democratic gubernatorial candidate David Poythress, making the following... read more »

Cantor Watch: the Congressman Leads on Job Creation
By George Dienhart | 04/08/09
Why “Cantor Watch?” Because the young Virginian is supposed to be the future of our party… I think the good congressman is onto something here (we promised to point out the good with the bad). Today is a good day, based on Congressman Cantor's op/ed in the Washington Times today. The piece focuses on the fact that small businesses drive job creation in the United States. Congressman Cantor lays out the Republican... read more »
