Voters are entitled to a debate between the major candidates for the United States Senate, and it’s sad that Mississippi’s senior Senator has chosen instead to hide behind his handlers and avoid the tough questions. We think Mississippi deserves better.

The Club for Growth PAC has endorsed fiscal conservative Bryan Smith for the Idaho 2 seat in Congress and released an ad making the case that Big Government Republican Mike Simpson must be replaced.

Dan Sullivan in Alaska is the kind of candidate needed to ensure not only a Republican Senate majority, but also a fiscally conservative majority within that majority.

The American Enterprise Institute (AEI) hosted a civil debate titled "Tea party vs. establishment: Who is helping the right, and who is hurting it?" featuring Chris Chocola, president of the Club for Growth, and Steve LaTourette, CEO of the Repub. Main Street Partnership.

For decades CHQ Chairman Richard Viguerie has been hammering away on the Republican establishment on Capitol Hill for trying to dupe limited government constitutional conservative voters. Now a new generation of conservatives is joining Viguerie in calling out the Republican congressional “leaders” as frauds. Sign and share the "Fire Boehner" petition.

We like Rep. Tom Graves’ approach, but the real fight won’t be the vote on Graves’ H.J. Res 62 – that will likely pass with no problem if it is brought to the floor by the House Republican leadership. Our concern is what happens when the establishment Republicans and Democrats in the Senate vote it down, as they surely will.

The ploy by Representatives Sessions and Cantor to hold a phony vote to defund Obamacare in the House is just one more example of why the price for conservative support at the polls in 2014 should be new leadership in the House GOP. To add your name to the list of conservatives who demand a real vote, not a phony vote, to defund Obamacare please sign our “No Trick Votes On Obamacare” petition today. 

The influential Club for Growth criticizes the House GOP leadership because rather than fight to defund ObamaCare, or to even have an honest debate about it, House leaders have decided to go with a "smoke and mirrors" strategy that avoids the issue.

Why haven’t establishment Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson embraced conservatives' efforts to draw that line in the sand and put a united Senate Republican Conference behind the effort to defund Obamacare?
