Beware Where Policy-makers Go With Transit
Submitted by Benita M. Dodd

All Dressed Up, With No Tea Party to Go To: Primary 2010 Wrap-up
Submitted by Bob Griggs
If there is a "Tea Party" passion to toss out incumbents, it sure didn't manifest itself in the recently-contested Georgia primaries. Of the eleven federal incumbents of both parties, only Hank Johnson, John Barrow and David Scott (all Democrats) had challengers.

Submitted by Ronald E. Bachman
The great frustration for many Americans during the debate on ObamaCare was tone-deaf politicians. No one seemed willing to listen to their concerns. Federal deficits, pork-barrel spending and cost got lost in the push to pass partisan legislation. Moving into the regulatory phase of writing the critical implementation rules, the concern is that bureaucrats will also ignore the people.
