Pepper Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 @clearvision The title caught my attention, too. I thought it was the US Senate. What a disappointment. Courts will overturn it ASAP - "let the people vote" my butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggingtree Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Conservative Revolution Anyone? By: craigderoche (Diary) | April 11th, 2013 at 10:27 AM Conservative Revolution Anyone? “New Challenges, Timeless Principles.” That was the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference slogan. Well, conservatives are at a crossroads. Bold voices are calling for a timeless conservative principle–personal responsibility–to be applied to a new system. After the1994 “Republican Revolution” conservatives successfully united and pushed the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act to President Clinton’s desk, where it was signed into law. The timeless principle of personal responsibility was successfully applied to a tough challenge: welfare in America. The 1996 welfare reform victory provided temporary assistance to vulnerable people in need. The assistance was distributed in a limited fashion that incentivized recipients to take personal responsibility for their lives, to find work, and become self-sufficient. About the Author Craig DeRoche is the president of Justice Fellowship, the advocacy arm of Prison Fellowship Ministries, a nonpartisan Christian nonprofit organization that provides ministry and programs in over 1,000 state and federal prisons nationwide. DeRoche is the former Republican Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives. http://www.redstate.com/craigderoche/2013/04/11/conservative-revolution-anyone/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
