National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys filed an amicus curiae brief jointly with the Landmark Legal Foundation in the case, Noel Canning v. NLRB.

It is ironic that the city Barack Obama used to demonstrate his capabilities as a leader is now nearly out of cash.

During the 2012 campaign, the President and his liberal supporters touted the auto bailout as having saved Detroit. The carmakers may still be alive, but the Motor City itself is in big trouble!

According to a December 3 Wall Street Journal commentary, for example, the city is near

It’s obvious that President Obama wants to curtail our Second Amendment freedoms. It’s now completely believable that Americans’ constitutional right to own and use firearms might even be diminished with the stroke of Obama’s autopen signature.

American democracy is called a “grand experiment.” It is not called this out of some romanticized

Why the Founding Fathers Matter

By Tom DeWeese, President of the American Policy Center

It has become typical in school text books, in public discussions, and in the smug wisdom of Progressives, to diminish the words and actions of those who led the founding of the United States.

President Obama Scolded for Remarks on Healthcare Bill to Supreme Court

Washington, DC – President Obama was publicly scolded this week for warning the Supreme Court against overturning Obamacare.  The President said that it would be “unprecedented” and “extraordinary” for the Supreme Court to rule that a law was unconstitutional.

Out of Touch Obama

With soaring gasoline prices, increasing unrest in Afghanistan and threats of a nuclear Iran on his plate, President Obama made it a priority to call to the Georgetown University law student criticized by talk radio host Rush Limbaugh for demanding free contraceptives.

Using this cheap publicity stunt to shift attention from his policy failures may bolster Obama’s standing with his left-wing base, but it will not help the President’s standing with American families struggling to make ends meet.
