By: Christine Morabito – September 7, 2012 Toastmasters must be having a field day. The “ums” and “ahs” liberally applied to President Obama’s debate rhetoric proved he is lost without his teleprompter.

By: Christine Morabito – September, 2012 I judge a film by how much time I spend thinking about it.

By: Jeff Katz As I sit down to write this, it is a little more than one week since the Supreme Court of the United States handed down their decision on President Barack Obama’s “health care” law.

By: Christine Morabito, Greater Boston Tea Party – July, 2012 It’s a simple question: Do we care enough about fair elections to demand them?
