More from the Heritage Foundation on Judge Vinson's ruling on Obamacare.

I'm certain the Administration is not happy with this headline.

President Obama please explain this! And while you are explaining GE's exemption, would you care to explain this as well.

Maybe the President is only listening to Sen. Sanders.

Did you ever think you would see this headline in the National Review?

Good advice for Mayor Bloomberg from the New York Post.

But will they be collected?

Thanks, Cal Thomas, for a great column.

Florida Judge gets it right, rules Obamacare unconstitutional. Judicial appointments by Presidents, not something that many voters think about when they are casting their votes for Presidents, leave their marks for many years...do you know who appointed Judge Roger Vinson?

Don’t forget: Our 44th Annual Conservative Party Political Action Conference – CPPAC – begins this Sunday at Noon.

Sunday and Monday at CPPAC we’ll be talking about the many challenges facing New York. Which issues are you most concerned about right now? That’s the question in our new Weekly Poll. Vote today!

Chuck Schumer and the Democrats have a new priority: Scaring seniors about their Social Security and Medicare.

For those not just out to score partisan political points, there's plenty to be concerned about.

Remember this story from earlier in January? "'We are going to be more responsible fiscally,' the senator [Schumer] asserted, but quickly added, 'I will not comment on any specific plan.'"

So yeah, don’t expect many specifics from Chuck about his mighty plans to magically wipe out the Social Security deficit and fully fund the program for eternity.

The Conservative Party has just released our agenda for 2011. It features “Five Steps for New York's Future” – specific plans to get New York back on track. Our recommendations include holding the growth in State spending to no higher than the inflation rate; capping the growth in both real estate and property taxes; reducing the personal income tax for all New Yorkers; and requiring a two-thirds majority vote for any new tax increases.

And this week we launched a statewide phone campaign to get people to take a specific action: Calling Albany and telling our elected representatives to "be more fiscally responsible," as Chuck Schumer might say.

But back to big talk and few real ideas - sound familiar?

Charles Krauthammer once again offers up some unimpeachable analysis.

But if Obama's meaningless rhetoric offers up a history lesson (or makes young people Google "Sputnik") maybe all is not lost...

And if the President’s speech inadvertently undermines his left-wing agenda? Even better...

Have a great weekend!

If we ever needed more evidence that we must protect our borders, this is it.

The East Coast is buried in snow, but Washington DC is really buried in debt, more here. The Heritage Foundation has more on the nation's debt.

The Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial. And the NY Post quotes Congressman Ryan.

Cal Thomas with more on The Speech.

Listen up Albany, the House of Representatives gets another major vote right.

On a lighter note, what are they doing to girl scout cookies? Say it isn't so!

It appears that Gov. Cuomo is still looking to do what is right for all New York taxpayers. You can help by calling your Assembly Member and telling them "no new taxes, fees or borrowing."

Couldn't agree more with William McGurn!

Don't forget to call your Assembly Member at 518-455-4100 and to register for CPPAC our 44th Annual Conference in Albany, NY at the Holiday Inn. You really don't want to miss any of our speakers, especially Mark Steyn!
