Happy Mother's Day: I Love You Mom -- Son #1
Posted Friday, May 11, at 11:26 AM Being a mother is a selfless job; it's also a never-ending one. From the time we're born and on, a mother is there, to provide support, encouragement, and comfort. One of the few things a person can depend on in life is a mother's love. The bond between a mother and her child is one of the strongest, and one of the most beautiful...

A Shortsighted Budget Last week, the House sent its version of the budget to the Senate. Shortly thereafter came the press releases and statements from House members claiming they'd succeeded in passing a "balanced" budget. But, nothing could be further from the truth. The House's budget is flawed and not even close to being truly balanced. ...

Principles of Government Americans this year will pay more in taxes than they will spend on food, clothing, and shelter combined. In fact, from the beginning of the year until April 4th, you are working just to earn enough money to pay for your tax obligation at the federal, state, and local levels. The 95 days of hard work you have to put in just to pay for government spending is what economist Milton Friedman said is "a system that increasingly taxes work and subsidizes nonwork."...
Pass Ethics Reform Now - Holding Politicians Accountable Politicians work for you, to represent your interests, not their own.

Should We Use Tolls on I-70? - What Do You Think The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is responsible for 32,000 miles of state owned and maintained highways across our state. Missouri's population ranks 18th in the nation, yet our state highway system has the seventh most miles. One of the major roads MoDOT maintains is Interstate 70, 251 miles of highway that cuts Missouri in half, running east and west and connecting St. ...
Attention Southeast Missouri Farmers Agriculture is Missouri's No. 1 industry and the backbone of our state economy. We rank second in the country for number of farms, and agricultural goods are one of our main exports. How Missouri's farms fare is often tied, or even attributable, to how our state fares...
JOBS JOBS JOBS - A Missouri First Plan The horrible jobs numbers recently reported by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics showed the Obama/Nixon economic plan is not working. During December of 2011, Missouri lost a net of 11,800 jobs leaving 245,200 unemployed. With an eight percent unemployment rate, where the labor force is growing and the number of jobs is declining, it is time to change how Missouri approaches job creation. ...

The Real Christmas Story When many think of Christmas, images of hectic malls, children asking for gifts from Santa, and a decked-out Christmas tree come to mind. It might even bring up memories of reading or watching the many "Christmas stories" on television and in books. ...

Taxpayers Win; Tax Credit Takers Lose - Stopping New Tax Credits during Special Session that Would have Wasted Your Money Missouri's Special Session for special interests finally came to an end. Even though House leadership and those who were slated to line their pockets with tax credits are telling the press nothing was accomplished, the exact opposite happened.

October 19th is Missouri Day--a day set aside to commemorate Missouri's history and to celebrate the achievements of all Missourians. During the 1900s a native Missourian named Anna Brosius Korn decided students and adults in Missouri needed to study and appreciate the history of their state. ...
More Tax Credits without New Jobs - The Waste of Your Money by Picking Winners and Losers through Tax Credits The current special session has been nothing more than an effort by House leadership to get right with campaign contributors at your expense, the Missouri taxpayer.
