Tennessee's lawmakers have been on a roll with vital pieces of legislation, necessary to the well-being of their residents. There's the bill to protect teachers who tell students that scientific ideas like evolution and climate change aren't necessarily true. There's the bill to ensure public buildings can display the Ten Commandments (and other "historically significant documents") if they choose. But now, they've really hit the meat of important issues with a bill to outlaw saggy pants.

House Republicans leaders plan to bring Rep. Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed legislation, H.R.459, to the floor for a vote in July: "...we’ve just received word that H.R. 459, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act will receive a vote in the House this July!" Audit the Fed recently passed a cosponsor milestone with more than half the House of Representatives now publicly supporting the bill. With hundreds of thousands of petitions, emails, faxes, and phone calls pouring into Congressional offices from around the country, now is the time for Audit the Fed to become law of the land!

The incident Tuesday was the latest flare-up in an increasingly tense dispute between the Boston Police Department and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation over the use of civilian flaggers at city construction sites overseen by the state.

State officials say they want to use civilian flaggers, allowed under a new state law, to save money; police in Boston and elsewhere, who can earn huge amounts of money working at construction sites, have argued that public safety is better served by having officers, rather than civilians, working the jobs.

Citizens could legally defend themselves with deadly force against police officers who enter their home under a bill passed by the Indiana House.

Anger over Arizona's illegal-immigration law spread throughout California Tuesday as a prominent state leader called for ending contracts between the state and Arizona government and businesses, and city leaders in San Francisco and Los Angeles backed sanctions.

A state bill aiming to give residents limited rights to resist police officers who enter their homes illegally was passed by the Indiana House of Representatives on Thursday with several amendments.

Jon McNaughton, a controversial artist who often mixes religion and politics in his work, has released a new painting.
