"We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle."--Winston Churchill

Education Lawsuits  - There is a Better Way     By Theresa Fritz Camoriano     A federal judge has ordered the Boyd County, KY High School to let a student homosexual-rights group use the school facilities for its meetings.  The majority of parents and the school board think homosexual activities are immoral, and they do not want their tax money to be used to support the homosexual-rights group.  However, it appears that they will have no choice as long as tax money is being used to support the school.   (Click to Read More)

So that we do not depend on their virtue, or put confidence in our rulers, but in the people who are to choose them.”

-- James Madison, Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention [June 20, 1788]
