RNC’s Growth and Opportunity Project Wants Your Input For Developing an Action Plan

January 24, 2013 - 10:15pm — Candice Lanier

Last month, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman, Reince Priebus, launched an initiative focused on enlarging the Republican Party and improving future GOP campaigns.

Known as the Growth and Opportunity Project, it is chaired by five Republican leaders who will be charged with reviewing past practices and making recommendations.  The recommendations will involve the following key areas:

1) Campaign mechanics and ground game
2) Messaging
3) Fundraising
4) Demographic partners and allies
5) Third party groups
6) Campaign finance issues
7) Presidential primaries
8) Lessons learned from Democratic campaign tactics

The Project is chaired by five Republican leaders: Henry Barbour, Sally Bradshaw, Ari Fleischer, Zori Fonalledas and Glenn McCall. Input and insight will be sought from Republicans across the country. The Growth & Opportunity Project is currently reaching out to RNC members, grassroots activists, donors, elected officials, community leaders and others in order to develop a solid plan for the future.

True History


The maelstrom about removing guns from the populace, completely forgets true history. The 2nd Amendment was never about hunting with guns. During the American Revolutionary War, the first shot fired over a bridge in Concord  [4/18/1775], was to try and stop the British from coming into America and take away America’s guns.


Paul Revere’s goal was to spread the news through Middlesex County, the population center of Massachusetts.

MLK’s Arsenal & The Racist Roots of Gun Control in the U.S.

Martin Luther King, Jr., known for peaceful resistance, at the same time recognized the importance of gun ownership for self-defense. King understood the risks involved in being an outspoken civil rights leader, living in Jim Crow era Alabama, and took measures to protect himself, his family and others around him.

King was a gun owner.  In fact, he had a few guns–one visitor to the King family home described King’s supply of weapons as an “armory.”

Additionally, William Worthy, a journalist who covered the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, reported that he almost sat on a loaded gun while visiting King’s parsonage.

King had also applied for a concealed carry permit, but was turned down.  According to John M. Snyder:

“At one time, King applied for a permit to carry a concealed handgun, but was denied. He was concerned for his personal safety, just as are a lot of law-abiding American citizens. “

Is An Asteroid Collision Inevitable?

NEAs and PHAs


Space photography has recent advances showing shocking information. "Our team was surprised to find the overabundance of low-inclination PHAs," (Amy Mainzer/NASA/Jet Propulsion Lab). In other words, some asteroids are making closer approaches to earth than once thought. Mainzer, leader of the WISE asteroid-hunting mission, has used the NEOWISE project for all asteroid predictions.


Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) orbits are closest to earth's orbit. Some NEAs' orbits intersect earth's, and a future collision with earth may exist. Thousands of NEAs exist. Estimates of kilometer-size asteroids are (+/-) 2000. [largest: 1036 Ganymed, at 32km.]

History Curriculum Backed by CAIR and Muslim Brotherhood

January 7, 2013 - 11:32pm — Candice Lanier

In December, I reported on the move by the federal government to replace traditional curriculum with government information documents. This is part of the trend towards the centralization of education, which has resulted in parents and teachers having less impact on what goes on in the classroom while the federal government’s control is expanded. One of the main concerns regarding the government information documents is the high potential for a politicized curriculum.

Add to that the revisionist history being taught in some classrooms, along with the the promotion of one religion over another.

An example of this can be found in the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum collaborative (TESCCC) and its company, CSCOPE, a major producer of curriculum used in the Texas education system.  A report shows that CSCOPE has portrayed participants in the Boston Tea Party as terrorists and is also accused of having developed an anti-Christian, pro-Islam curriculum.

And, though by law the curriculum is supposed to be accessible to parents, according to the Texas CSCOPE Review:

Is a line of reasoning that says the simplest answer is often correct. No matter how imposable, however probable, the result still stands as a truth.

Thinkers are Different Than Emotionalists on Gun Proliferation

Historical Distinction


One can make an early historical distinction between the 'Tories' and the 'Freedom Fighters'. The Tories were those early settlers upholding the British Crown, against the supporters of colonial independence during the American Revolution. Tories refused a new constitution.


Emotionalists did not want to 'rock the boat', and portray British injustice. After the Revolutionary War, most Tories settled in Canada, Nova Scotia and the Bahamas. Thinkers knew firearms were the answer.
