  • Capitol Insurrection at Center of Conservative Movement
    Capitol Insurrection At Center Of Conservative Movement: At Least 43 Governors, Senators And Members Of Congress Have Ties To Groups That Planned January 6th Rally And Riots. SUMMARY: On January 6, 2021, a rally in support of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election “turned deadly” when thousands of people stormed the U.S. Capitol at Donald Trump’s urging. Even Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, who rarely broke with Trump, has explicitly said, “the mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the President and other powerful people.” These “other powerful people” include a vast array of conservative officials and Trump allies who perpetuated false claims of fraud in the 2020 election after enjoying critical support from the groups that fueled the Capitol riot. In fact, at least 43 current Governors or elected federal office holders have direct ties to the groups that helped plan the January 6th rally, along with at least 15 members of Donald Trump’s former administration. The links that these Trump-allied officials have to these groups are: Turning Point Action, an arm of right-wing Turning Point USA, claimed to send “80+ buses full of patriots” to the rally that led to the Capitol riot, claiming the event would be one of the most “consequential” in U.S. history. • The group spent over $1.5 million supporting Trump and his Georgia senate allies who claimed the election was fraudulent and supported efforts to overturn it. • The organization hosted Trump at an event where he claimed Democrats were trying to “rig the election,” which he said would be “the most corrupt election in the history of our country.” • At a Turning Point USA event, Rep.

  • November 20, 2019 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell Majority Leader
    November 20, 2019 The Honorable Mitch McConnell Majority Leader United States Senate 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leader McConnell, The undersigned conservatives urge you to modify the Continuing Resolution recently passed by the House of Representatives to extend government funding for a full year. As we outlined in the attached letter, signed by over 100 conservative leaders, a CR into December gives leverage to Democrat demands on key issues, including significant pro-life policies, border spending, and other key areas. This is reflected in the partisan vote in which the CR passed the House, with 219 Democrats voting in favor, joined by only 12 Republicans. From both a strategic and fiscal perspective, we believe a CR into December would be an error. For both these reasons and those outlined in the attached letter, we urge the Senate to modify the timeline of the current CR to allow for full deliberation and debate of critical spending issues in 2020. Sincerely, Alfred S. Regnery Tom McClusky Chairman, Conservative Action Project President Chairman, Law Enforcement Legal Defense March for Life Action Fund The Honorable Colin A.

  • Press Release
    News Release CITY OF MOUNTLAKE TERRACE 6100 219TH STREET SW, SUITE 200 MOUNTLAKE TERRACE, WASHINGTON 98043 FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT: Virginia Olsen, City Clerk/Community Relations Director, (425) 744-6206 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 6, 2015 MLT Seeks Partnerships for Downtown Revitalization MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Mayor Jerry Smith, Mayor Pro Tem Laura Sonmore and City Manager Arlene Fisher recently met with Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell, Congressman Rick Larsen, Congressman Dave Reichert and representatives from the offices of Governor Jay Inslee and others in Washington D.C. The main purpose of the meetings was to update the city’s legislators on funding needs for the revitalization of the downtown corridor. The city communicated its need to develop the infrastructure necessary to implement its vision for a revitalized downtown with the Main Street Revitalization Project. It is estimated that this investment of city, state and federal dollars would leverage millions in private investment to create jobs and opportunities in the downtown and move the community forward. The City of Mountlake Terrace has competed for funds within the TIGER program for its Main Street project and has scored exceptionally well on the economic cost basis models, but has failed to win an award due to the strong competition and relative size of the other projects from larger agencies. TIGER, which stands for Transportation Investments Generating Economic Recovery, was the result of efforts initiated by Senator Patty Murray several years ago. U.S. Representative Rick Larsen recently introduced a new version of the “TIGER CUBS” bill, federal legislation that would set aside 20% of special transportation infrastructure funding for smaller to medium-sized cities.

  • Demint Holds Solid Lead for Reelection
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 27, 2010 INTERVIEWS: DEAN DEBNAM 888-621-6988 / 919-880-4888 (serious media inquiries only please, other questions can be directed to Tom Jensen) QUESTIONS ABOUT THE POLL: TOM JENSEN 919-744-6312 DeMint holds solid lead for reelection Raleigh, N.C. – Jim DeMint’s poll numbers aren’t great but with an opponent who’s currently an unknown and President Obama unpopular in the state he leads by 19 points in his bid for a second term in the Senate. 43% of voters in the state approve of the job DeMint is doing with 36% disapproving. His reviews are as polarized as you would expect them to be. 67% of Republicans approve of him with 15% disapproving, while only 14% of Democrats like him with 59% disapproving. Independents are split right down the middle at 42%. Vic Rawl, DeMint’s likely general election opponent, is currently an unknown to 82% of voters in the state. DeMint leads him 49-30. Those numbers are likely to tighten since 30% of Democrats are undecided while only 11% of Republicans are. But DeMint does enjoy a 48-27 advantage with independents. Voters do appear to be pushing back some against DeMint’s increasing role in the national spotlight. 39% of voters think he’s not spending enough of his time advocating for South Carolina in the Senate while 38% think the amount he’s spending is about right. There’s little support in the state for DeMint making a 2012 Presidential run. Only 15% of voters would like to see him aim for the White House while 56% are opposed to a bid and 29% have no opinion.

  • Introduction
    IMMIGRATION_Ch01.qxd 21/11/07 4:43 PM Page 1 Chapter 1 Introduction “America, at its best, is a welcoming society. We welcome not only immigrants themselves but the many gifts they bring and the values they live by.” So said President George W. Bush at a naturalization ceremony for new citizens at Ellis Island in July 2001. The fifty million immigrants admitted legally to the United States in the twentieth century alone lends substantial credibility to Bush’s words and to the old adage that “America is a nation of immigrants.” Indeed, immi- grants seeking their freedom and fortune and fulfilling the American dream have become part of the nation’s mythology. No symbol of this is more potent than the Statue of Liberty and no words more poignant than those of Emmas Lazarus inscribed upon it: Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free The wretched refuse of your teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door! And yet the history of immigration to the United States is far from unambiguously positive, as Bush’s “at its best” caveat recognizes. His qualification implies that Americans have ambivalent attitudes towards immigrants and immigration and that the broadly positive welcome afforded immigrants has been punctuated by a series of anti-immigrant episodes throughout American history. Many potential immigrants have been refused entry and many new immigrants persecuted because of their skin color or religion. Others have been excluded because the resident population decided they burdened schools, hospitals, and welfare rolls, because they took the jobs of native-born workers, and because they avoided taxes.

  • Remarks the Honorable Jim Demint March 2013
    Remarks The Honorable Jim DeMint March 2013 SENATOR DEMINT: I see so many faces here in the room who have had my back over the last several years as I have waded into some pretty big fights, with my own leadership sometimes and all across the country, but I see you here and I want to thank you. This reminds me of the collective power of the Conservative Movement and the possibilities that we have. I remember when I was a freshman congressman, I was elected in 1998, my chief of staff and scheduler were in my office going through things that I had been invited to and I had just come from the business world, never been in politics. I had no idea what CNP was and they just said I had been invited to go to some function in D.C. for CNP and I told them I didn’t want anything else to do at night, I just want to go to the gym or something. My chief of staff stopped and said “It is not an option. This is the premier conservative group in the country -- you have to go to this.” Ever since, every time I am invited to a CNP, I am going. If I have to cancel my daughter’s wedding to come out, I’m here for you. A lot of people wonder why I would leave the United States Senate and the ranking Member on the powerful Commerce Committee to go to The Heritage Foundation. Why would I leave the most debilitating body in the world to join you as leaders of the freedom movement in our country? Why would I do that? I think the answer is pretty obvious -- that the President and this Congress are not going to solve our problems.

    In the Shadow of Trump: How the 2016 Presidential Contest Affected House and Senate Primaries Prepared for the 2017 State of the Parties Conference, Akron, Ohio Robert G. Boatright, Clark University [email protected] The presidential race did not quite monopolize all of the uncivil or bizarre moments of the summer of 2016. One of the more interesting exchanges took place in Arizona in August of 2016, during the weeks before the state’s Senate primary election. Senator John McCain, always a somewhat unpredictable politician, has had difficulties in his last two primaries. Perhaps because he was perceived as having strayed too far toward the political center, or perhaps simply because his presidential bid had created some distance between McCain and Arizonans, he faced a vigorous challenge in 2010 from conservative talk show host and former Congressman J. D. Hayworth. McCain ultimately beat back Hayworth’s challenge, 56 percent to 32 percent, but only after a bitter campaign in which McCain spent a total of over $21 million and abandoned much of his “maverick” positioning and presented himself as a staunch conservative and a fierce opponent of illegal immigration (Steinhauer 2010). His task was made easier by his ability to attack Hayworth’s own checkered career in Congress. In 2016, McCain again faced a competitive primary opponent, physician, Tea Party activist, and two-term State Senator Kelli Ward. Ward, like Hayworth, argued that McCain was not conservative enough for Arizona. Ward was (and is), however, a decade younger than Hayworth, and her shorter tenure in political office made it harder for McCain to attack her.
