I specifically wanted to check out the National Archives building on Constitution Avenue in DC this past weekend, more specifically the original Charters of Freedom documents.
We were one of the last visitors on Saturday to view the U.S. Constitution housed in the Rotunda, and it was a remarkable experience.

Fluvanna County has had problems of over-crowding in the elementary and middle schools for several years now. The band-aid solutions have been to install trailers on the two campuses, but these were only meant to be temporary.

A Letter to the Editor of the Fluvanna Review, published May 15, 2008, written by Supervisor Gene Ott, upon hearing comments made by Mr. William McCullin at the May 7th Board of Supervisors meeting…more millions at stake…

You see, despite […]

I mentioned a pending announcement from MikeHuckabee.com a few days ago, and today I learned a teensy bit more about it. There’s going to be a new Political Action Committee (PAC) forming called HuckPAC. In fact, there’s already a Facebook group in place, which I just joined this morning. The group’s description states,
“HuckPac is committed […]

The dreaded April 15th is just around the corner, and I’m feverishly working to get my Federal Income Tax Return done. Uggh. Thank goodness for TurboTax software…while I had to shell out about $75 to purchase it this year, it was cheaper than hiring an accountant. But I gotta tell you, doing the whole “filing […]

This is a great video from Mike Huckabee on why he supports the FairTax. I read about this proposal several years ago, and when I heard Governor Huckabee speak on the subject, I checked into it further.
If you have no clue about what the FairTax is, watch this video first and then hop on over […]
