Watching the Mississippi U.S. Senate race unfold over the past few months, it has become very clear who our friends are and who our enemies are.

It's also become painfully clear that more and more often, our enemies are within our own party.

Thad Cochran's campaign and supporters spent millions demonizing conservative Chris McDaniel, a fellow Republican.  His allies spent tens of thousands of dollars calling Chris McDaniel racist and turning out Democratic voters to steal the Republican primary from McDaniel, who won the clear majority of Republican votes.  They are willing to sacrifice principle for power, conviction for compromise.  They are willing to ignore the voice of Mississippi's Republican voters by recruiting ten of thousands of Democratic voters to cross over and vote for Thad Cochran, who campaigned on a platform of big government spending and food stamps.  We will not forget how they sought to crush our voice.

Conservatives are not the ones being divisive.  We are not the ones alienating the base of the Republican party.  The liberal Republican establishment is.  We want to fight together for one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all.  They want power.  And we will remember how they betrayed us to stay in power.

Conservative Republicans must stand together. We must stand on principle. We must stand with courage and conviction.

Remember Mississippi.  And don't stop fighting.

Mississippi is the one of the most conservative states in the nation.  So why are they stuck with one of the most liberal Republican U.S. Senators?

The good news is, it doesn't look like that will be the case much longer.  Recent polls show conservative Chris McDaniel, who is challenging Cochran in the Republican Senate primary, with a lead in the race -- and the momentum is all on his side.  A poll conducted by shows McDaniel leading by 4%, and a second poll now has him leading 43%-36%.

Thad Cochran has the lowest Obama-era ratings of any Republican Senator, according to the American Conservative Union, and as McDaniel points out, has not led a single fight against the Obama administration. 

It's time for a real conservative Senator from Mississippi -- vote Chris McDaniel on June 3rd!

Ben Sasse is a fifth-generation Nebraskan, a constitutional conservative, a homeschool dad, and an outspoken opponent of Obamacare.  He's running for Nebraska's open United States Senate seat, and has the support of Ted Cruz, Mike Lee, Sarah Palin, the Family Research Council Action PAC, and many more.

We are proud to support Ben Sasse for U.S. Senate.  As President of Midland University in Nebraska, Sasse was one of the youngest university presidents in the history of American higher education and turned around a university on the verge of closing down.  Because of his leadership, for the past four years Midland University has been the fastest-growing school in the state.

Ben Sasse recognizes that it is not enough to stop bad ideas -- we must put forward free-market solutions and conservatives must shape the Republican party into the party of ideas.  His leadership, conservative values, and real-world experience are much-needed in Washington.  

The Senate Conservatives Fund has released a new ad highlighting Chris McDaniel, running for Senate against 40+ year incumbent Senator Thad Cochran in the Republican primary on June 3rd.

The Kentucky Senate primary is a battle between two visions for the Republican Party.  The GOP Establishment wants to re-elect their moderate incumbent, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.  The conservative grassroots are demanding a real conservative leader -- and Matt Bevin is that candidate.

Kentucky has a chance to elect a real conservative to the United States Senate in 2014 -- businessman & former U.S. Army Captain Matt Bevin.

Matt Hoskins, executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund, notes that "Matt Bevin is a true conservative who will fight to stop the massive spending, bailouts, and debt that are destroying our country. He is not afraid to stand up to the establishment and he will do what it takes to stop Obamacare."

Matt Bevin also has strong support from conservative voters in Kentucky.  The Boone County GOP Christmas gala straw poll, attended by nearly 700 Republicans, resulted in Bevin winning with over 80 percent of the votes against Mitch McConnell in the race for U.S. Senate. He has the support of Take Back Kentucky, United Kentucky Tea Party, Louisville Tea Party, Northern Kentucky Right to Life, Angela Minter, Executive Director Sisters for Life to name a few.

 As is the case when a GOP backed candidate is challenged, Bevin is no match financially against McConnell.  This important Republican primary election is going to depend entirely on grassroots and volunteers.

Even if you don't live in Kentucky, you can tell the GOP that you support real conservatives who will defend faith, family, and freedom.

If you want your children and grandchildren to have a shot at educational freedom and a decent education, now is the time to act.

In an email to supporters, the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) sent out an urgent action item.  We join them in urging you to call your senators and representatives and give them this message (or a paraphrased version):

“I strongly oppose the Common Core standards, and do not want the federal government using federal funds to support this controversial program.  Please sign onto the Grassley letter [if you are calling your senators] or Steve King letter [if you are calling your U.S. Representative] to members of the Appropriations Committee which urges Congress to end federal funds in support of the Common Core.  States, not the federal government, should decide what is best for their education system.”

The capitol switch board number is 202-224-3121.

Take action to defend educational freedom!

Moving forward, Senator Corker's opposition to the treaty will serve as a significant barrier to ratification of the CRPD in 2014 and beyond.  We applaud Senators Corker and Alexander for their position protecting the Constitution, national sovereignty, and parental rights.

Corker: Advocating for U.S. Disability Rights Abroad Should Not Come at the Expense of the Constitution

The Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities was once again heard before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. Secretary of State John Kerry testified, along with others.  Many in the committee favored the treaty, while some worked hard in opposition. The danger of this treaty cannot be stressed enough.  This treaty would have the power to fundamentally change American law. It could enshrine abortion into our law, and destroy the rights of parents. To learn more about CRPD visit freedomsdefenders.com/crpd and facebook.com/RejectCRPD.

The Senate has gone Nuclear! This past week the Senate changed the 200 year old rules, that forced the majority party to reach a 60 vote threashold to close debate on a bill, now debate can be closed with a simple majority- 50 votes plus the Vice President. This move does not endanger the Republican Legislative position, since they hold the House of Repersentatives and so they can still block bills. This will endanger our ability to block the radical canidates that Obama may nominate, both in important judical positions and on the newly created medical board. Cornelia Pillard, whose nomination Freedom's Defenders strongly opposes, will likely be approved under these conditions. This move takes away the rights of the minority party to temper the demands of their opponents. 

A deal has been struck with Iran to lift sanctions.  This dangerous move gives Iran more power to seek nuclear weapons.  Although Iran has promised to not attempt to become a nuclear threat, history teaches us that we should be concerned.  Various other regimes have promised similar things and yet secretly broke their promises.  Iran has been a constant threat to both the United States and Israel, and should therefore not be allowed to pursue any nuclear technology that could foster a nuclear weapons program.  This deal has been is an "abject surrender by the United States," according to former ambassador John Bolton.  It leaves Israel, America's closest ally, angry. 

As the United States pursued a deal with Iran, American Pastor languished in an Iranian prision, for his religious beliefs. Despite calls to release him and to pursue his release by Congress the Obama Administration failed to even ask during the negotiations with his captors. Pastor Saeed is an American Citizen, who was travelling to Iran to help establish an secular orphanage. While there he was arrested and thrown into prision. He has a wife and two children in the United States. To learn more about Pastor Saeed. visit ACLJ.org.
