PHOTOS – A FABULOUS CIVITAS EVENT – MARCH 2 – 3, 2012

Monday, March 5th, 2012

The following photos were taken at the Conservative Leadership Conference that was hosted by the Civitas Institute in Raleigh, North Carolina, on March 2nd and 3rd, 2012.  The mission of the Civitas Institute is to facilitate the implementation of conservative policy solutions to improve the lives of all North Carolinians.   The guest speakers for this sold out conference  were Charles Krauthammer, the celebrated American Pulitzer Prize-winning syndicated columnist and political commentator, Arthur Brooks, President of the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), a non-partisan public policy think  tank in Washington, D.C.,  and Jason Lewis, host of the nationally syndicated Jason Lewis Show and author of “Power Divided is Power Checked:  The Argument for States’  Rights”.   As you can see from the photos, we all had a wonderful time at this two-day conference that was filled with powerful talks by the guest speakers and extremely informative workshops that will help us to sharpen our conservative skills for the crucial upcoming November election.

RALEIGH APRIL 15 TAX DAY TEA PARTY 5 – 7PM

Monday, April 11th, 2011

April 15th – Raleigh Tax Day Tea Party

Raleigh, NC – April 8, 2011 — Triangle Conservatives Unite! (TCU) will be hosting their annual Tax Day Tea Party at the Raleigh State Capitol on April 15, 2011 from 5:00pm until 7:30pm.

Triangle Conservatives Unite! is a conservative group made up of NC citizens who are tired of overspending, unbalanced budgets and government corruption. The idea for the Tax Day Tea Party was popularized in 2009.  CNBC reporter Rick Santelli ranted about President Obama’s housing bailout plan. He stated that Chicago was holding a Tea Party, referring to the 1773 Boston Tea Party where colonial protesters dumped tea into the harbor to protest British taxes. Americans across the country responded to this “call to action” and Tea Parties have grown more popular each year.

Our Tea Party is sponsored by many conservative groups and businesses, including RUSH Radio 106.1.  Our keynote speaker is Jason Lewis, also known as “America’s Mr. Right,” Jason Lewis is host of the nationally syndicated Jason Lewis Show. The Jason Lewis Show deals with the serious issues of politics, economics, and cultural affairs, but Jason’s sense of humor brings a good deal of levity to the show.

There are a number of other speakers including organizers, club leaders, politicians and community activists.  The event will have a number of the clubs and groups who are sponsoring the event on-site.  This event is open to the public, no matter what their political affiliation is, all conservatives are invited to attend.   Please scroll down to see the full speaker/sponsor list.  Thank you.

At ‘One Nation’ rally, a unionized show of unity

Activists gather at the Lincoln Memorial in the nation’s capital to participate in the “One Nation Working Together” rally to promote job creation, diversity and tolerance, Saturday, Oct. 2, 2010, in Washington. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) (AP)

Organizers of Saturday’s “One Nation Working Together” rally at the Lincoln Memorial are proud of their diversity.  Before the event, they predicted it would be the “most diverse march in history.”  It turned out they were right. Looking around the rally, there were Teamsters Local 311, Service Employees International Union Local 1199, Communications Workers of America Local 2336, American Federation of Teachers Local 1, United Auto Workers Amalgamated Local 171, Transport Workers Union Local 100, and representatives of many, many other unions.  That’s a lot of diversity.

Karnell Dorris and Rose Anderson work in a nursing home in Detroit.  They’re members of Local 79 of the Service Employees International Union, which chartered buses to bring them and hundreds of others to the rally.  They left Detroit at about 8:00 pm Friday for the 13-hour drive to Washington.  After spending all day at the rally, they were scheduled for a union dinner, after which they would overnight at a hotel, also paid for by Local 79.  For Dorris, the main reasons for coming to the rally were “jobs, justice and education.”  For Anderson, it was health care, along with a desire to “stop taking from us, trying to make the rich richer.”

With few exceptions, people said the economy was their motivation for marching.  “Jobs first,” said Paul Blujus, a former construction worker who now works in health care in Buffalo, New York and who came to Washington aboard a bus chartered by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees/Civil Service Employees Association Local 1000.  “Jobs — better jobs,” said Debra Winston, who came to the rally from Memphis on a bus chartered by SEIU Local 205.  “Jobs,” said Mark West, who came from Charlotte, North Carolina aboard a bus chartered by United Steelworkers Local 850.
