Restore Federal Election Integrity
- Details
- By The John Birch Society
Congress must take action to restore election integrity and enforce the U.S. Constitution. Accordingly, it must repeal every unconstitutional federal election law — which also undermine election integrity — and prevent new ones from passing.
Both Article I, Section 4, and Article II, Section 1, of the United States Constitution give state legislatures primary authority over congressional elections. However, it also gives Congress authority to override state laws in this specific area. These provisions, as affirmed by The Federalist, No. 59, don’t give Congress any authority over state and local elections.
Several existing federal laws — all of which exceed Congress’ rightful authority under the Constitution — contribute to the lack of election integrity and security in our Republic.
Non-Governmental Organizations Are Assisting the Biden Border Crisis

Illegals Thriving on Our Tax Dollars
While the Biden administration has allowed millions of immigrants to pour into our country, they are also paying others to facilitate the influx under the guise of “humanitarian aid”. Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are receiving billions of taxpayer dollars that reward the cartels for smuggling children across the border and help in criminal activity. Some members of Congress are working to defund these programs.
Sadly, unaccompanied children have been pushed across the border by desperate parents and evil cartels. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reported that over 700,000 unaccompanied children (UC) have been placed in the care of HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement since the program’s creation in 2012. Initially, the $1.8 billion program served 8,000 UCs annually in the first 9 years, but that number dramatically increased to nearly 119,000 UCs last year. This humongous increase has inflated their expected budget for 2024 to an expected $7.3 billion. The program provides education, healthcare, case management, recreation, and unification services within their facilities. But these payments actually encourage parents to send their children across the border in the hands of abusive ‘coyotes’ and potential sex traffickers.
Pushing Pot to Pander to Voters

The Dangers of Marijuana Reclassification Are Not Hazy
“What is your opinion about legalizing marijuana?” This is the most frequent question I received over the last 25 years when I participated in over 200 domestic issues for high school students from across the country. At these debates, the questions are student-generated and the “pot question” was by far the perennial favorite, invoking snickers from the other teenagers in the room. A common refrain was “Alcohol is dangerous, and we allow that, so why not pot?” The kids think they are being edgy, but they are only revealing the masterful smoke and mirrors distortions peddled by Big Marijuana.
Biden Administration Weaponizes and Politicizes the Department of Justice Against Peaceful Pro-Life Activities
- Details
- By Christian Newswire
WASHINGTON -- Nine pro-life activists are facing up to 11 years in federal prison for a peaceful sit-in at a late-term abortion center in Washington, D.C. in 2020.
The “Garland 9” will face sentencing in the Washington, D.C. federal court between May 14 and 31. They have been in jail since September of 2023.
The Christian Defense Coalition calls upon Congress to hold hearings on this misuse of power by President Biden and the Department of Justice against the pro-life community.
What makes the actions of the Biden Administration even more troubling is the double standard of justice Palestinian protesters are receiving after their arrests in comparison to the Garland 9.
City of "Yes, I Want to Be a Slave"

City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality
In New York City mayor Eric Adams says, “Everything you need to know about the latest proposal in ‘City of Yes’” we get to see one of the latest schemes to capture property rights – via carbon neutrality. What is carbon neutrality? According to the European Parliament it “is reached when the same amount of CO2 is released into the atmosphere as is removed by various means, leaving a zero balance, also known as a zero-carbon footprint”. To understand that better, we had a carbon neutral world up until the 1800s when crude oil/fossil fuels were discovered. That brought about the advances in our lives – automobiles, gas and electric appliances, phones, computers – you name it. Green energy can never produce the equipment needed to supply these modern tools.
Republican Hopefuls Parade Before Luncheoners at First Monday

- By Terry M. Thacker
While nearly 200 Greenville Republican leaders and activists lunched on fried chicken, mashed potatoes and broccoli last Monday at the Poinsett Club, a plethora of GOP candidates for various political offices in the Greenville area made their elevator pitch as to why they should be elected.
The occasion was the monthly meeting of the First Monday Republican Club. Deb Sofield runs the club as a well-oiled machine when it comes to starting each monthly program on time and keeping things moving.
Each candidate present was given up to three minutes to put their best foot forward and to try to convince the audience members to vote for them rather than the other guy – or gal. Some read their remarks and others spoke off the cuff.
