Perhaps they could explain how that differs from economic fascism.  I see they're a "Member of the Utah Cattlemen's Association." Perhaps they could explain...I see they're trying, but I have to go by what they're letting a member get away with...

Although you have previously denied that your staff made inquiries to the IRS about conservative organization True the Vote that may have led to additional agency scrutiny, communication records between your staff and IRS officials – which you did not disclose to Majority Members or staff – indicates otherwise...[More]

We are pleased that Mark Boughton has ended his affiliation with Michael Bloomberg’s organization, although I am not sure that the timing of his departure will help his campaign at this point, or even if his leaving MAIG was intended for that purpose. [More]

I have written to captain Pray, that if the brig and boats remain at anchor against his post, to move up with his boats at night, and take his station at Kings-ferry; or if he cannot get by them, to haul his boats over the bank where they can be defended. I have detached one hundred men from the 10. [More]
