 Herman
says. .
Democrats
who have
been
thrashing
Conservatives
and The Tea
Party
Movement
that "I've
had all I
can stand
and I can't
stands no
more!" as he
told Greta
that "The
Democrats
have no
results to
run on, they
have no
plans that
are working.
The
president
doesn't have
any plans
that are
working;
he's broken
a lot of
promises.
All they
have left,
Greta, is
name-calling
to try and
intimidate
those that
might
associate
with the Tea
Party. ...
They have
taken the
race card to
a new low."

. . . A
CNN
reporter
also
asked
Cain
about
recent
comments
by U.S.
Rep.
Andre
Carson,
D-Ind.,
who said
that
some
members
of
Congress
affiliated
with the
tea
party
consider
African-Americans
to be
“second-class
citizens”
and
wouldn’t
mind
seeing
them
“hanging
from a
tree.”
Cain’s
response
was
sharp.
“Those
remarks
are
disgraceful.
Those
remarks
are a
distraction.
Those
kinds of
remarks
are
intended
to
discourage
citizens
from
speaking
their
voice
through
the tea
party
movement,”
Cain
said.
“If
there
were
racism
in the
tea
party
movement,
I would
be one
of the
first
people
to
recognize
it. I
grew up
in
Georgia
before
the
Civil
Rights
movement,
during
the
Civil
Rights
movement,
after
the
Civil
Rights
movement.
“I would
know
racism
if I saw
it. I
have not
seen it,
nor have
I
experienced
it in
the tea
party
movement,”
Cain
said.
Webmaster's
comment --
Herman Cain
is an
example of a
TRUE
conservative
black man of
the highest
character
and ability.
He is the
extreme
opposite of
Obama.

Heritage Action for America
Legislative Scorecard |
|
With each vote cast in Congress, freedom either advances or recedes. Heritage Action’s new legislative scorecard allows Americans to see whether their Members of Congress are fighting for freedom, opportunity, prosperity, and civil society. The scorecard is comprehensive, covering the full spectrum of conservatism, and includes legislative action on issues both large and small. Heritage Action's legislative scorecard isn't graded on a curve – it is tough and we don't apologize. After all, we are conservatives, not tenured university professors.

Herman
ventured
to Israel
this week on
an historic
journey. He
and his
wife,
Gloria,
enjoyed
visiting the
many
historical
sights, and
they found
the trip to
be quite
spiritually
refreshing.
Not only
that, but he
had
wonderful opportunities
to meet with
various
Israeli
leaders and
appreciated
the opportunities
to learn
more about
the nation
of Israel.
The trip has
served as an
opportunity
for Mr. Cain
to see
first-hand
the
situation in
Israel and
to personally
assess the
issues
facing that
country. He
strongly
supports
Israeli-American
relations,
and
a President
Cain would
defend our
friend and
ally,
Israel.

One is
running for
the 43rd
House
District in
Cobb County,
Georgia, in
a special
election on
September
20, 2011
-- Geraldine
Wade MD.
This is the
seat
formerly
held by Rep.
Bobby
Franklin who
passed away
recently.
 From
MDJ: "Dr.
Wade, 57, a
native of
New Jersey,
has a
25-year
career in
healthcare.
She earned
her medical
degree from
Emory School
of Medicine,
is certified
in internal
medicine and
pediatrics,
and served
as medical
director of
KennMed
Family and
Urgent Care
in Marietta
before
working for
the Centers
for Disease
Control and
Prevention
in Atlanta.
She is
presently a
self-employed
consultant
on the topic
of
healthcare
information
technology.
Wade said
she is
troubled
that there
are no
physicians
presently
serving in
the Georgia
House, a
place that
needs a
doctor’s
perspective
to handle
such things
as
“Obamacare
and
socialized
medicine.”
Dr. Wade
later
learned
there is one
physician
from
Savannah
area (Dr.
Ben Watson)
in the
House.
We need
more!
Please
keep an eye
on this most
impressive

After

listening to

gathered
inside the

Herman give
what was
touted by
many as the

In his

and the

Bachmann took 4,823 votes out of 16,892 votes cast, just ahead of Paul's 4,671. Pawlenty, who essentially went all in on the straw poll in an attempt to change the narrative of his struggling campaign, got just 2,293 votes, less than half of his fellow Minnesota lawmaker.
In fourth place was Rick Santorum with 1,657 votes, followed by Herman Cain with 1,456 votes. Write-in candidate Rick Perry, who formally entered the race today, got 718 votes, good enough for sixth. Despite being a write-in candidate, he beat out Mitt Romney with 567 votes, Newt Gingrich 385, Jon Huntsman with 68 votes and Thaddeus McCotter with 35 votes.

Here is an extremely interesting map that illustrates the religious demographics of each of the fifty states. I found this article to be of considerable interest! The map is highly educational, and, as one studies the religious diversities that occur from state to state and region to region, it helps one to understand at least some of our nations political demographics. Surprising to me is the unclassified percentage of people who are either atheist, agnostic or without religious belief. Even so, more than 80% of all Americans identify with some form of religious faith, and they are predominantly Christian even though classified in several different groupings. Enjoy!
