Grassroots Activists Turned Away at the RNC

RNC locks out 50+ conservative activists for nearly an hour as we attempted to deliver an open letter describing our grievances with their rule changes last year as well as a petition with over 12,000 signatures demanding they be overturned.

Eventually, Jackie Bodnar of FreedomWorks was allowed inside with the documents and reappeared some 20 minutes later telling the crowd they must make an appointment and come back.

This is only days after the GOP allegedly determined the party must reach out more to the grassroots and become a more bottom-up institution in their 100 page report entitled The Growth and Opportunity Project.

While we were waiting and demanding to be heard, several individuals were sporadically allowed inside the building as they continued to ignore us.

Barack Obama Tattoos

With Barack Obama's approval ratings still at a solid 62%, I became suddenly curious to know how popular the 44th U.S. President really is.

There are some gross tattoos out there. In the interests of full disclosure, I must admit that I am not a fan of President Obama . But I've got to say that the tattoos above aren't nearly as bad as this: Editor's note: The pictures are linked to their respective sources. To view the source pages, simply click

Legal Marijuana On The Michigan Ballot for 2018

A Michigan ballot initiative to legalize recreational marijuana received enough valid signatures to qualify for a vote in November. When the required number of ballot signatures was certified by the State Board of Canvassers, the 4-0 decision of the board was met by cheers from supporters of the initiative who were present, the Detroit Free Press reports . Rick Thompson, a board member of the Michigan National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), put this ballot initiative in perspective as a matter of the State of Michigan safeguarding its own sovereignty and protecting its own citizens from an intrusive federal policy: "The people of Michigan deserve this. They earned it. We've faced many trials and tribulations. We've had so many stop and go signs from the federal government. That's why states have to take the reins on the issue and really be the crucibles of democracy that they've always been intended to be." Indeed the last time
