This year, Citizens United celebrates ten years in the conservative filmmaking and documentary business. We had the honor to work with Breitbart’s Executive Chairman Steve Bannon who directed and wrote Occupy Unmasked back in 2012. The film featured Andrew Breitbart and
January 23rd marked one year since then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s Capitol Hill testimony about the events that transpired in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. A year after her testimony, Americans are still waiting for basic answers about what
On his way up to New Hampshire to speak next month, Congressman Darrell Issa should stop in Trenton, New Jersey, to witness what aggressive legislative branch oversight looks like. Now that I think about it, Speaker John Boehner should definitely
Today marks the 25th anniversary of President Ronald Reagan’s farewell address to the nation. I sincerely hope I’m not the only person who’s writing to commemorate the occasion. I just watched it again – twenty or so minutes in length
The New York Times gave President Obama and Hillary Clinton their very own Christmas present last month, and it was more than either of them could have wished for. On December 28th, the Times published an article based on what it claimed was a
Next month, we will celebratethe 4th anniversary of our landmark First Amendment SupremeCourt victory. In that case, we stood up as an organization for free speech andcontinue to stand for the rights of others to be able to openly and honestlyshare
On Thursday night, after House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) gleefully denounced conservative groups as “losing all credibility,” 169 House Republicans joined Democrats on a march toward more spending and bigger government. It is a sad day that only sixty-two Republicans
The 2014 midterm elections will come down to who was for and who was against Obamacare. As conservatives, we relish this fight because now that the law has unfortunately gone into effect, Americans are now seeing before their very eyes
Conservatives don’t just oppose Obamacare as a matter of policy – we oppose it as a matter of principle. The federal government was not designed to function as a central planner for any segment of the U.S. economy, much less
President Obama, in his most incoherent press conference yet, described the ugly rollout of Obamacare as a mere fumble. “That’s on me … we fumbled the rollout on this health-care law,” he said, the Washington Post reported Thursday. He’s wrong of course. The
Every year, Congress finds new ways to tax and regulate you, but the D.C. political elites always go to great lengths to protect themselves from the same laws they pass. Until 1995, Congress exempted itself from compliance with the Age
The Virginia governor’s race ended up being a photo finish, even though Ken Cuccinelli was largely left to fend for himself by the elitists in the Republican establishment in battleground Virginia. Where were American Crossroads and the other well-funded outside
Back in September, Citizens United launched a statewide radioadvertisement in the Virginia governor’s race to shed light on the factthat a vote for liberal Democrat Terry McAuliffe is a vote for Obamacare. We wanted to warn Virginians that Obamacarewill not
President Obama promised that his health insurance exchanges would make all of our lives better. In exchange for forcing us to buy insurance, Obama promised that his new government-run markets would be simple, one-stop-shops for quality, affordable coverage. He was
The government shutdown is over and the political elites in Washington, D.C. decided to pass a short-term budget, known as a Continuing Resolution, while fully funding Obamacare. They made sure furloughed federal employees will be paid for their 16-day vacation.
Government bureaucrats aren’t good at much, but they are efficient at making words lose their meaning. For example, the affordable part of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, really means forcing healthy millennials to buy insurance they cannot
If you’ve never visited the WWII memorial in Washington, D.C. you really should. It is a beautiful and fitting testament to the invaluable sacrifices made by so many Americans in the name of freedom. It is also outdoors, located on the National
This week in the U.S. Senate, cloture was approved to end debate on the Continuing Resolution to fund the government until November 15. But the principled CR passed by the House is now unrecognizable, as the Senate resolution includes an
The outrageous things Nancy Pelosi says would be unintentionally hilarious if she hadn’t been given such a powerful position in government by the Democratic Party. This week in an interview with Politico, the House Democratic Leader claimed that President Obama
This week, thanks to a groundswell of opposition from conservative activists, the House Republican leadership decided to delay voting on their continuing resolution. Leadership would never admit it, but they canceled Thursday’s scheduled vote because they did not have enough
A vote for Quin Hillyer for Congress in South Alabama’supcoming special primary election on September 24th is like gettingthe best of both worlds. Not only do youget the best possible principled conservative you could hope for, you’re alsogetting someone with
History was made on Thursday. For the first time in over 200 years, the British Parliament voted against a Prime Minister’s war resolution. The last time that happened was in 1782, when Parliament voted to stop fighting George Washington and
For months, Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada threatened to change the rules of the Senate to prevent Republicans from filibustering Presidential nominees. This so-called “nuclear option” was avoided, as Republicans hastily rushed into a deal and set aside their
For a President who won the Nobel Peace prize only months into his presidency, times have truly changed. The foreign policy reset President Obama promised after President George W. Bush’s tenure did not materialize, and in fact, America’s standing in
CNN used to be nicknamed the “Clinton News Network” for its overly-favorable reporting of Bill Clinton’s presidency. Today I am renaming NBC the “Nobody But Clinton” network. As you’ve probably heard, these two liberally-biased networks announced that they are planning
In this film, we shed light on a man who has embellished his business record. Fast Terry exposes how Terry McAuliffe’s politically motivated business decisions and empty promises have impacted the lives of Americans from Franklin, Virginia to Tunica, Mississippi.
I’m happy to announce that Citizens United, the same group who brought you Hillary The Movie and Occupy Unmasked, is at it again with a new film called Fast Terry, a real look at Terry McAuliffe. From chief fundraiser for
The City of Detroit filed for bankruptcy in federal court July 18, signifying the official advent of failure from one of America’s most liberal cities. January 2, 1962 was the last day that a Republican held the mayor’s office, and
Thursday July 11th marked the ten month anniversary of the terrorist attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya. I have not forgotten. Nor have I forgotten that’s it’s been 65 days since the last public congressional hearing on Benghazi
Much of the D.C. brain trust has concluded that the IRS targeting scandal doesn’t need a special counsel to do the investigating. The folks who are against the appointment of a special counsel, for whatever reason, are happy to allow
This past Thursday, 14 Republican Senators betrayed the conservative movement by voting for an amnesty bill that doesn’t prioritize securing our Southern border first. What was passed by the United States Senate this week was amnesty, plain and simple. If the bill
This week an overwhelming number of United States Senators decided to move forward with debate on the flawed immigration reform package supported by the Gang of Eight, known on Capitol Hill as S. 744. History very well might be repeating
As the IRS scandal continues to take shape and the massive overreach of one of the most powerful agencies in Big Government becomes even more apparent, it becomes frightening to think this same agency will soon be heavily involved in
As the IRS scandal continues to evolve, I found one piece of information that came out this week quite shocking. Former IRS Commissioner Douglas Shulman, who led the IRS when much of the targeting of Tea Party and conservative groups,
Memorial Day is one of our national holidays where the true meaning far too often gets lost in the shuffle. To those who have lost a family member or loved one defending America’s freedom, this weekend is much more than
An independent investigation by a special counsel is tailor made for the Internal Revenue Service targeting scandal. In instances like this, national leaders like the President and Attorney General of the United States must transcend politics and make restoring trust
This week was not the first time Cheryl Mills’ name has come up in a controversial manner at a congressional oversight hearing. In fact, it’s not the first time Ms. Mills has been the subject of potential wrongdoing in the very
As the old saying goes, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In 1986, acting on the recommendation of a bipartisan task force, President Ronald Reagan signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act. With good intentions,
This week, the chairmen of the five standing U.S. House committees who share jurisdiction of the investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attack released their 43-page “interim progress report” to indicate to the American public that their committees are indeed working
