A group members of the U.S. House of Representatives have sent Secretary of the Department of Human and Health Services, Kathleen Sebelius, a letter questioning her reported actions of soliciting donations from non-profit organizations that are “directly implementing” Obamacare.

 Florida’s Representatives Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Jeff Miller, Bill Posey and Trey Radel are among the 26 members of Congress who penned their signatures on the letter to Sebelius.

On Face the Nation Sunday, AP's president and executive said that the government's seizure of AP reporters phone records was unconstitutional.  Gary Pruitt "called the Justice Department's actions 'unconstitutional' and said the AP hasn't ruled out legal action."

Pruitt went on to say that sources were less willing to talk to AP journalists, which would limit information coming from news outlets.  

"And if they restrict that apparatus ... the people of the United States will only know what the government wants them to know and that's not what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when they wrote the First Amendment," he said.

John Kass of the Chicago Tribune has long explained that if you want to understand Obama's confrontational style, you have to understand the lessons he learned in his adopted hometown of Chicago.

Today he illustrates the point with a personal anecdote about how members of his own family who loved to discuss politics would never do so in public for fear of retaliation by public officials and agencies.

Will America commit the same error as we did with Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012? I really "hope" we "change" this track of voting. We haven't gotten past 2014 and the jockeying for position begins. Is this a media construct or hubris?

ACTION REQUIRED! I've had it, both "Fed" up and an epiphany. This time it is personal and we Americans need to internalize it. It occurred to me during my radio show, and in the midst of a tirade, that the bureaucratic pros don't give a sh*t for the most part if we complain, scream and shout.

First, there are good people working in, and a legitimate role for them and many of the federal government institutions. To be clear I am not advocating violence. There are millions of us that are related to or know someone in the Federal Government at some level - low, middle or high. I / we / you need to confront that person in your front yard, the grocery store, town square or golf course and ask simple questions.

Are conservatives ready?

There are dozens of really good events put on by conservative organizations.  Conservatives who want to win should also be seeking out training conferences and seminars that aren't affiliated with an ideology.  Since one of the preeminent political campaign events is coming up in D.C. I thought I should mention it.

Although Media Matters poo pooed the very idea that Obama's DOJ would engage in retribution for the downgrade, maybe now that distrust in government is suddenly in vogue, we should take another look at that lawsuit. 

"Why not Moody’s? Why not Fitch?" John Berlau of the American Spectator wondered. 

Of all the questions raised by the U.S. government’s strange case against Standard & Poor’s — a lawsuit that actually asserts that some of the nation’s largest banks were S&P’s “victims,” and that the credit rating firm somehow fooled these banks about products the banks actually created — the lack of similar actions against S&P competitors still rings the most alarm bells.

Since it's apparently cool to distrust government now, maybe it's not a bad idea to revisit one of the 2012 stories Media Matters sneered was just a wingnut "conspiracy theory". 

Last September, The Daily Caller obtained internal emails between senior officials at The Gallup Organization that showed David Axelrod attempting to  intimidate Gallup when its numbers were unfavorable to Obama.
