The Heritage Foundation is a sight full of rich knowledge that people can tap into to broaden their own knowledge about politics, economy, health care, foreign policy, etc. Join the hundreds of thousands of people who have joined and broaden your knowledge. Remember knowledge is something the liberal does not want you to have. The more knowledge you have, the better prepared and equiped you are to fight the progressives and their tyranny. This is one of the best site (if not THE BEST site) to put in your favorites and visit daily.

There are other sites that are off-shoots (or "sister-sights") of the Heritage Foundation.

"33 MINUTES"
http://33-minutes.com/33-minutes/
See the 7:48 Trailer about the hour long film. This film is about protecting America in the new missile age.

From the Website: "33 Minutes: Protecting America in the New Missile Age is a one-hour documentary produced by The Heritage Foundation that tells the story of the very real threat foreign enemies pose to every one of us. The truth is brutal - no matter where on Earth a missile is launched from it would take 33 Minutes or less to hit the U.S. target it was programmed to destroy.

Nuclear proliferation around the world, and the threat of a ballistic missile attack of some kind is mounting as more and more countries obtain nuclear technology. The ongoing threat toward America is also accelerating due to the fact that there are many rogue nations and terrorist organizations who either have or are seeking ballistic missiles and nuclear technology.

The challenges of protecting America and its citizens for President Obama's administration are great. Featuring rare footage and in-depth interviews with leading experts in the field, 33 Minutes is the definitive documentary exposing the untold vulnerability we all face and the action plan necessary to revive a strategic missile defense system that America uniquely can develop, maintain, and employ for its own defense and the peace-loving world's security."


"OVER CRIMINALIZED"
http://overcriminalized.com/
From the Web site: "“Overcriminalization” describes the trend in America – and particularly in Congress – to use the criminal law to “solve” every problem, punish every mistake (instead of making proper use of civil penalties), and coerce Americans into conforming their behavior to satisfy social engineering objectives. Criminal law is supposed to be used to redress only that conduct which society thinks deserving of the greatest punishment and moral sanction.

But as a result of rampant overcriminalization, trivial conduct is now often punished as a crime. Many criminal laws make it possible for the government to convict a person even if he acted without criminal intent (i.e., mens rea). Sentences have skyrocketed, particularly at the federal level.


"FIX HEALTH CARE POLICY"
http://fixhealthcarepolicy.com/
From the Web site:
"The Problem:

There is little disagreement that the current health care system needs an overhaul. Today, health care costs continue to rise while people have fewer choices and are less secure that the coverage they have today will be there tomorrow.

However, President Obama and leaders in the Congress think the solution is to expand government’s control over health care. Proposals like a new public plan, a federal exchange and health board, and even mandates on employers and individuals to offer or buy government-approved package of benefits, are all intended to give more power to Washington over the financing and delivery of health care.

The end result could jeopardize the private coverage Americans have today, limit their health care choices, and cost taxpayers more.

More information:

• The Obama Health Care Plan: More Power to Washington
• The Obama Health Care Plan: A Closer Look at Cost and Coverage

The Solution:

Instead of a putting Washington in control over personal health care decisions, individuals and families should be the key decision makers in their health care.

Proposals that give fair and equal tax treatment for those who buy health coverage on their own, encourage states to develop solutions that will give individuals direct control of the flow of health care dollars, and finance reform by restructuring existing spending, not more spending, are key steps to solving America’s health care problems.

Such a system would promote personal ownership; give Americans more health choices, and force health plans and providers to compete directly for their dollars. The end result would lower costs and guarantee better quality.
