At the WNY Tea Party on April 18th in Buffalo, we will roll out a plan that will give the political class butterflies in their stomachs.
Critical to that plan is this symbol, the symbol of the old republic.

Apparently, ACORN, being a group linked with many allegations of voter fraud in connection with turning out the vote for Obama, is considered qualified to partner with the U.S. Census.

NATO’s Global Mission Creep
By DIANA JOHNSTONE
