Senate Republicans must enjoy minority status. They are showing little leadership and little reason for voting Americans to change the balance of power in 2010.  Congressional Republicans: are you guys enjoying the ride from the back seat? From Americans for Limited Government.

Many people are wondering what disturbing revelations may yet come from President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor’s closet, but at least one important thing is already evident. From Americans for Limited Government.
