“Big Education” Union Bosses and their minions are hard at work spreading fear and false information about Senate Bill 1038, Freedom in Education Savings Accounts.

Say ye not ‘A confederacy…’
“Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread.” I’ve been under the impression that both of our modern political parties were rotten, particularly at the nation level and probably to the core. At the same time I haven’t quite known what to make of what […]

As a state senator and a representative of the Caldwell community, I am appalled by the recent events surrounding the Caldwell School Board’s policy regarding transgender students.
