On March 28, I had the pleasure of hosting an Empower panel discussion in Durham, North Carolina.

My name is Kya Hartkopf and I am a FreedomWorks activist and college student at East Carolina. I volunteered to help today at the FreedomWorks booth at the Young Americans for Liberty (YAL) State Convention. It was a great event, with almost 200 YAL members from all over North Carolina. Check out the photo gallery with all our pictures from the event!

Democracy and Power 101: Government is Power The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse. —James Madison, Speech in the Virginia State Convention of 1829-1830

It is fairly common knowledge by now that most people aren’t happy with the Common Core education standards that state and federal governments are trying to ram down their throats. From needlessly convoluted math problems to anti-American history curricula, Common Core makes education a maddening chore for students, parents, and teachers alike.

There's another round of health insurance policy cancellations coming, and the timing is more than a little awkward for vulnerable Senate Democrats, including Mark Begich (D-AK) and Kay Hagan (D-NC), who will learn their electoral fate next month.

On Monday, September 29, about thirty activist from Alamance and Orange counties in North Carolina gathered for an activist training on how to engage on issues important to conservatives. We are excited about being able to use new, effective tools to get limited government legislation passed! A special thanks to FreedomWorks for making this training available to us!

My name is Mary Allison Page and I live in Gibsonville, North Carolina. This year, I will be a rising sophomore at Western Alamance High School. On Wednesday morning, I addressed the North Carolina Mining and Energy Commission to express my support for hydraulic fracturing in North Carolina. I attended the hearing with FreedomWorks activists from all across North Carolina.
