If Einstein claimed special relativity to be “settled mathematics” but then petitioned to silence anybody who asked him to prove it on the chalkboard, how much less serious would he have been taken?

Don't Let the IRS Silence Conservatives
Patriot Voices is standing tall with our grassroots allies across the country by expressing our opposition to the proposed regulations from the IRS that would curtail the activities of 501c4 organizations such as Patriot Voices and groups like us. If you'll recall several months ago, it came to light that the IRS was unfairly targeting conservative groups in an effort to silence our voices. This is a violation of our First Amendment rights, and an example of the extreme lengths the Obama Administration will go to quiet the opposition. We have until February 27 to comment on these regulations, so please take 3 minutes right now and visit this regulation comment page to express your view. Here is a sample comment you can cut and paste if you'd like:
Please do not approve these proposed regulations that will impact my ability to express my First Amendment rights. The IRS is not a political entity, yet these regulations are politically motivated in an attempt to silence conservative voices. I ask that you do NOT approve these misguided regulations. I also request a public hearing on this proposed regulation.

A Small Way to Make a Big Impact
But we need YOUR help! We need YOU to get just ONE...yes, justONE new conservative registered to vote!
Most of us do a great job of rallying fellow conservatives to get engaged at the local level. We fight for candidates we believe in by knocking on doors and making phone calls. We participate in events - both big and small - to impact the political process.
But sometimes we forget that taking small, simple steps can turn into something BIG!
The big, important change we need to see is more conservative patriots registered to vote and making their voices heard on Election Day.
We've made it easy for you. Simply go to onemorevoter.com and make the pledge TODAY, then use the voter look-up and registration tools to help someone get registered. And no matter where you live, you can easily print the registration form for your state. It couldn't be simpler!
The Daytona 500
I had a great time last week attending the Daytona 500 in support of Morgan Shepherd and SupportMilitary.org. I thought you'd like to see one of the pictures from the day. It was a lot of fun!
It's time to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline!
Please help Patriot Voices put the pressure on President Obama to approve the Keystone XL Pipeline. Many Democratic and Republican elected officials, trade unions and business groups support this project. Even the head of the AFL-CIO thinks it will create jobs and help the country. This pipeline will transport crude oil from the oil sands region of Canada to refineries in our country, and it will create tens of thousands of good jobs and benefit thousands of hardworking families - a real boost for our economy.
The pipeline also brings us closer to energy independence, strengthening our national security position. Your action is needed now to tell President Obama to green-light the Keystone Pipeline! Click here and you'll be directed to our convenient and easy email tool where you can email President Obama and tell him to support the Keystone XL Pipeline.
CPAC
If you are planning to attend CPAC in Washington next week, I invite you to join me and David Bossie of Citizens United for a special reception and screening of "Our Sacred Honor." Get your complimentary ticket here and don't forget to sign up here for our CPAC updates!
Check out our Grassroots Toolkit
For all of our grassroots leaders out there, and for those who want to serve but are not sure where to start, check out Patriot Voices' Grassroots Toolkit! This is the place where you can learn how to be part of our grassroots army and affect change on conservative issues across this country. In our Grassroots Toolkit, you'll find everything you need to build your chapter!
Help Patriot Voices Carry Out Our Mission
Your financial support is critical to ensuring that we can carry out our mission of fighting for faith, family, freedom and opportunity in America. Help us in our efforts by making a contribution of $25, $50, or $100 so we can keep fighting for our conservative values.
