“When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” – Ben Franklin

A spokesperson for the Housing and Urban Development Office went on the record on CNN’s “State of the Union” program and announced that President Obama plans to offer refinancing aid and loans for jobless homeowners. I’m all for helping those in need, but are we completely giving up on personal responsibility?

Am I the only one with a problem shifting all the power of both government and business to Washington?

Most of my friends disagree with me on this and think that corporate America is just a pile of greed dressed up in an Armani suit. Their arguments are always centered around unregulated industries stepping on their employees and abusing the little guy along the way to print money for the stockholders and C-level executives. I don’t disagree that much of the damage for Wall Street has been self-inflicted.

Here’s my question: What makes the President or Congress any different? Why are they morally superior to these shyster business execs? George W. Bush started the trend of bailing out industries and the slippery slope has turned into bailing out every group or industry in trouble. Slowly but surely, we’re shifting more and more power to a handful of decision makers in Washington. Need help? Lobby Congress. They’ll give you money.

At what point do we just vote to print our own?

In Indianapolis the Colts logo is everywhere. I mean everywhere. Grocery stores, fast food restaurants, schools, even churches. In Indy, we love our blue & white.

I just stumbled across this report from DailyCaller.com that made me think about blue and red.

It ranks my hometown of Noblesville, Indiana as the #5 most conservative county in America. Noblesville is the county seat for Hamilton County and is about 20 miles north of Indianapolis.

Indianapolis has long been one of the most Republican cities north of the Mason-Dixon line, and the main suburban overflow county is a model of conservatism. Hamilton County to the north of Indianapolis is one of the richest counties in America. The cities on the border of the county, such as Carmel, Fishers, and Noblesville, are now among the largest cities in Indiana, and they are overwhelmingly Republican. The county prides itself on being family-friendly, putting much effort in building recreational facilities and parks. Forbes called Hamilton County the best place in America to raise a child.

As a random and personal side note, the two best-men in my wedding live this example. Vince Eagan works for the Indianapolis Colts and Andrew Greider is the executive director of the Hamilton County Republican Party.

We just launched a volunteer portal for Republican Volunteers. If you’re looking to impact this year’s election you can register for free and start helping local candidates, committees and RNC Victory Centers.

It’s official. We launched the new and improved GOP.com this morning. I’d love to hear your feedback.

President Obama’s judicial nominees have made it clear: the Founding Fathers got it wrong. Unless you stop them, here are just a few of the interpretations they may make of the Constitution.

I’m excited to announce that my friend, Andrew Greider, and I are working with the Hamilton County Republicans to launch a Noblesville GOP Club.

We (RNC’s Indy dev team) built a very public and very aggressive campaign to get Nancy Pelosi out of office for trying to force through a bill that the overwhelming majority of American’s don’t support.
