SEAN HANNITY

Harry Reid and Free Speech Harry Reid has taken is obsession with the Koch brothers to a new level, threatening your freedom of speech rights in the process. The Supreme Court has ruled (Buckley v.

That represents a 44 point drop in a little over a decade. I don't blame the American people for their skepticism, because the government has given us good reason not to trust them. From the scandals to the lack of transparency to the inability to limit the growth of government, we have a lot of reasons to question what Washington is doing. How do you restore trust with the American people? You provide bold solutions that are implemented with transparency, enforced fairly and produce tangible results in empowering the people, restoring our founding principles and limiting the size and scope of the government. Particularly over the last few weeks, I've repeated my solutions for what America really needs to get itself moving again. Those solutions are as follows...continued
