Death by Regulation: How We Were Robbed of a Golden Age of Health and How We Can Reclaim It

Most people believe government agencies like the Food and Drug Administration keep them safe. But a book by Dr. Mary J. Ruwart explodes this myth.

Federal Regulation of Electric Power and the Commerce Clause

While the federal government has some authority to regulate electricity flowing across state lines under the commerce clause, the federal government has seized much more power than it was legitimately delegated. As I reported earlier, on Sept. 28, 2017, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry proposed a new rulemaking to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).…

Federal Proposal to Regulate Electric Power Rates Largely Unconstitutional

A proposal to expand federal regulation of electric power rates is largely unconstitutional. On Sept. 28, 2017, the U.S. Secretary of Energy Ernest Moniz proposed new rulemaking to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). Under the authority granted the secretary under the Department of Energy Organization Act, RM18-1-000, he proposes that the FERC should use…

Nebraska Lawsuit a True “Chicken and Egg” Question

California’s state government is so concerned about the survival of an obscure species of smelt that it has effectively rendered some of the most productive farmland in that state a desert wasteland devoid of water.  Having so successfully <ahem> managed that crisis, California state legislators have now turned their attention to the plight of poultry […]

Government’s Getting Us Where it Wants Us — Eating Out of Its Hand

About the time I began homeschooling my two sons 12 years ago, there was a spoof of a “news” story circulating around the internet on homeschool discussion boards.  The fake newspaper article was a send-up of every argument leveled against homeschooling by teachers’ unions and other advocates for public education who insisted homeschooling needed to… more

Fortenberry Needs To Hear From YOU: Townhall Schedule (Lincoln TONIGHT)

Nebraska’s First District Congressman Jeff Fortenberry is convening townhall meetings during Congress’ August recess. We at GiN have long believed that Mr. Fortenberry should be replaced with an actual limited government representative because the evidence shows that he cannot be described as such. As Linda wrote in a September 2011 article, Fortenberry… “…spends money like… more Continue reading via source post here: http://grassrootsne.com/?p=8866 CLC permalink: https:/?p=82319

Pumping Up Politics, Prices: Transcanada Keystone XL Pipeline

From my article of November 2, 2011, “TransCanada Trojan Horse: Keystone XL Pipeline Will Increase Gas Prices“: “The TransCanada Keystone Xl pipeline project will result in increased gas and diesel prices in 15 Midwestern States – to the detriment of those states’ citizens and economies.” While I continue to ponder the question… How much more… more

Whether You THINK About Health Insurance or NOT – Judge Says Government Can Regulate That

  Remember Ripley’s Believe it or Not? Maybe the Ripley’s folks should present this information, because it’s about as strange as some of the things I remember seeing on the TV show I watched when I was a teen. We’ve been writing about rulings on cases challenging the health care law, and most recently, we’ve [...]
