Want to know what some in the media think of Americans like us who love our nation and are willing to work to preserve our freedoms?
This past Sunday, Parade Magazine (that insert in tens of millions of Sunday newspapers) derisively wrote that the efforts of Americans for Prosperity Foundation, our affiliate organization, to discuss the public policy implications of a government takeover of health care is "astroturf," only a "so-called grassroots" operation.
