Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) offers listeners his thoughts on the Conservative Tea Party testimony offered this week before Congress, and some of the Democrat Responses.  Rep. Kelly reassures us that he will continue to fight to bring all involved in these scandals to justice.

Glen also talks about the latest Obamacare regulations that discriminate against people who are overweight, people who suffer from high cholesterol, people who suffer from high blood pressure, and people who smoke. Glen talks with Bob Fragasso (Chairman and CEO Fragasso Financial Advisors) about his overall economic outlook, and the effects of government action on the economy. Glen also talks with Jim Hanak (CEO of Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School) about a new Cyber School funding formula that  would severely cut funding to Cyber Schools in Pennsylvania.  If you are concerned about this assault on our freedom, then call your state legislators and tell them to vote against the cyber school funding cuts.
