Toward Changing the Conversation in Rhode Island

By Justin Katz | December 2, 2010 |

Last night, Matt and I discussed the DREAM Act, NEA dirty politics, and Anchor Rising’s ability to change the political conversation on the Matt Allen Show. Stream by clicking here, or download it. Again, please email or call (401-835-7156) me to pledge financial support — as subscriptions, donations, or advertising — for 2011. We’ve still…

A Right-Reform Fly on the Wall

Remember when a raucous School Committee meeting in East Providence gave reason to hope that the game might be up for the National Education Association’s unchallenged control of Rhode Island education? If so, odds are that Anchor Rising plays in that memory. We liveblogged, photographed, recorded, and analyzed. And it made a difference. Two days…

Who’s Leaving and How to Stop Them

By Justin Katz | November 18, 2010 |

I used our Wednesday call to the Matt Allen Show to connect our current pledge drive with the dire prognostication for the state. Stream by clicking here, or download it. Anchor Rising has been critical in the opposition movement (so to speak) over the years, and there would be tremendous value in helping us to…

Anchor Rising Looks Ahead

By Community Crier | November 15, 2010 | Comments Off on Anchor Rising Looks Ahead

There’s no denying that the election results in Rhode Island were disappointing. Even during a Republican surge year featuring the Tea Party movement, right leaning reformers made modest gains in the General Assembly and came up empty-handed in other state government offices. But this is Rhode Island, and hope is not irrational. Republicans running for…

By Community Crier | November 1, 2010 | Comments Off on Rhode Island Republican Assembly Endorsements & GOTV

We find ourselves one day away from one of the most important elections in this generation. American conservatives and other like-minded voters throughout our state and nation now realize that our government can no longer be sustained at its current levels and that structural changes must be made at all levels of government and by…
