Super Tuesday Primary 2010 Preview

This Tuesday is being called Super Tuesday. Ten states are holding their primary , and Arkansas is holding its runoff on Tuesday. Before Tuesday let's take a look at the big races.

AR-Sen

Will Bill Halter be able to pull off the third primary defeat of an incumbent senator of the year and defeat Blanche Lincoln, as both parties seem to want nothing to do with moderates?

CA-Sen

Carly Fiorina is leading in the polls, but will low voter turnout enable Chuck Devore and conservative activists to win another Senate primary contest? We have a great opportunity to defeat Barbara Boxer. Let's nominate a conservative fighter to take her on.

NV-Sen

Even if Chuck Devore doesn't win in CA it appears tea partiers will win a nomination contest Tuesday when Sharon Angle earns the right to take on Harry Reid in November. Unlike KY, the tea party candidate is not the gaffe machine in the race.

IA-Gov

Sarah Palin endorsed Terry Branstad, but will Chuck Norris's endorsement of Bob Vander Plaats prove more valuable? Chuck helped beat the pundits in Iowa two years ago. Can he do it again?

SC-Gov

South Carolina seem to be repulsed at one of the dirtiest smear attacks ever, let's see how big of a win Nikki Haley garners in SC.

If you live in California vote for Chuck Devore.
If you live in Nevada vote for Sharon Angle.
If you live in Iowa vote for Bob Vander Plaats.
If you live in South Carolina vote for Nikki Haley.

They are all proven conservatives who will fight for our principles, and they need our support on Tuesday.

(The VA House races are very important and as such deserve a longer post of their own. Don't worry I didn't forget about them.)

Obama Begins Pushing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child

Today the US amabassador to the UN, Susan Rice, announced that the Obama administration would begin work on passing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

The Obama administration is reviving efforts to have the United States sign onto a global children's rights treaty ratified by every U.N. member except the U.S. and Somalia, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, said Monday.

Administration officials are actively discussing "when and how it might be possible to join," Rice, a Cabinet-level official, said while visiting a school in Harlem and fielding a teenager's specific question about the U.N. Convention on the Rights of the Child.

This is something Barbara Boxer has been working hard to pass since the beginnign of the year. It is an international treaty that will undermine the ability of parents to direct the upbringing of their own children. Bob Lewis of the Dakota Voice summarized the threat well when he said...

This convention would undermine parental rights by providing a platform to emancipate children from the authority of their parents. Of course, parents will be expected to provide all the needs of their children…and all the wants of their children. If children want something, and the almighty state agrees they should have it, then the parents will have to dance. And if the parents feel the need to spank or otherwise strongly discipline an unruly child, the parent will quickly find that they are acriminal. They will quickly find that the child, and the child’s guardian (the state), are in charge in the home.

Please call the White House comment line (202-456-1111) and your U.S. Senators (202-224-3121) and tell them that you support parental rights and oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
