Spirit of '76 created July 04, 2010
What does freedom feel like? Have you ever tried to answer this question? During a mission trip to South America in 1997 I was asked this question, and I have to admit I had trouble answering the young man. Is it a feeling, a right, a state of mind? I guess I nev...Endorsement of John Boozman created June 09, 2010
Now that the primaries and run-off elections are finally over and we have our nominees, we can all focus on November. I would like to acknowledge the hard-fought victories of the nominees in both parties. Gina and I both know how demanding a campaign can be.
As I li...The Final Mile created May 15, 2010

The issues we championed at the beginning of this race have not changed, but have certainly come to the forefront as we read about them now on the ...Not Part of the Club created May 04, 2010
A few months back, my wife and I attended a two-day candidate forum, followed by a campaign event the next day. Gleaning some valuable information from the event, we had a wonderful time.

While it is true that many farmers would like fewer dealings with Uncle Sam via the USDA...A National Purpose created January 31, 2010
You'll often hear someone speak of his love of this great country or mention his patriotism, but have you ever wondered what his purpose was? In fact, what is it for all of us? As Americans, aren't we all in this together? Then why are there some among us who seem ...Dreams created January 18, 2010
As we celebrate today the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., we can still hear his voice. He was certainly one of the greatest speakers of the last century. His "I Have a Dream" speech is without question one of the most recognizable pieces of American ora...Coon Supper 2010 created January 10, 2010
Anyone interested in politics that has lived in Arkansas more than a year has surely heard of the Coon Supper. I have been interested in politics since I was in elementary school and have heard many times stories from those who had been to this annual event in Gillett, ...
