Of the few races I’ve covered so far, this one hits closest to home, being, as it were, home. Not only is Voices for the Voiceless located in District 5, but we are also involved in this year’s house race, working on Jim Ward’s campaign (http://www.votejimward.com/). With our allegiances thus fully revealed, I’ll attempt to [...]

16 Jun 2010Although my official, listed duty is news, I found this article by Peter Singer (published in the New York Times) irresistible. It’s title? “Should This Be the Last Generation?” Due to the nature of this blog, I pursued this article, finding it to be well-written and thought-provoking. Beyond this, however, the opinion piece was brilliantly [...]

The New York Times provides this incredible, interactive graphic, in which it details 6 states as toss-up states, and 3 others as leaning [...]

After 18 years of service in Congress as one of the few pro-life Democrats, Bart Stupak will not be running for a tenth term in the House. “Last month, we finally accomplished what I set out to do 18 years ago — we passed comprehensive national health care reform,” he said at a press [...]
It has taken nearly a year for President Obama to push his “health-care reform” initiative through Congress. And though the polls clearly indicate that the most Americans oppose this legislation, it appears that House Democrats are pushing for final vote by this Sunday. In addition to deciding the fate of health-care reform, [...]
Voices for the Voiceless is a pro-life group for teens by teens located in the east valley area of Arizona. We are a generation called to take a stand for life, to the glory of God. Edmund Burke once said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” [more]
