John Thune plans to reintroduce budget reform billMarch 2nd 2011From Argus Leader
Statement from John and Kimberley ThuneFebruary 22nd 2011For months now, my wife Kimberley and I have received encouragement from family, friends, colleagues, and supporters from across South Dakota and the country to run for the presidency of the United States. We have appreciated hearing their concerns about where the country is headed and their hopes for a new direction. Address to the 2011 Conservative Political Action ConferenceFebruary 11th 2011By Senator John Thune James, thank you for that kind introduction, and thank you for that warm welcome. It’s great to be here with you at CPAC, the largest annual gathering of conservatives in the country, and it’s an honor to join this year’s distinguished group of speakers. A lot of people are watching this conference with great interest. It’s only February of 2011, and we’ve already entered the season of speculation about November of 2012. I’m hoping that 2012 will be the year we take back not only the Senate, but the White House as well. Judge rules against health careFebruary 1st 2011From Argus Leader
Mr. Obama has chosen not to lead on the deficit. Is there a Plan B?February 1st 2011From The Washington Post IN HIS STATE of the Union address Tuesday night, President Obama failed to present a credible plan for long-term debt reduction. It's no secret that we think he made a big mistake. If America can't get a handle on its finances, everything else is at risk: military strength, the safety net for the poor, the ability to invest for future economic growth. But now that the president has punted, is there any conceivable path toward fiscal sanity? |
