At Phil Campbell Convention, Everybody Is Named Phil Campbell, and So Is the Town [VIDEO]
By Barry Weintraub - AOL NewsMost people would be happy to go to a party where everybody knows your name. How about a party where everybody has the same name? When a guy named Phil Campbell found a town in Alabama named "Phil Campbell," he decided to call every other Phil Campbell he could find for party no Phil Campbell would ever forget. Even if your name is Phyllis Campbell or Felipe Campbell, you're a guest of honor June 17 and 18 for a party no Phil Campbell would want to miss. And if you're the Phil Campbell who plays lead guitar for Motorhead, we've got a great gig for you. Here's our interview with the man who ...
A Message From Phil Campbell, to Phil Campbells Everywhere: 'Come to Phil Campbell!'
By not in system - AOL NewsHello, my name is the Brooklyn writer Phil Campbell, and I need your help. Please help me find all the other Phil and Phyllis Campbells who live all over the world.

So far, 17 local Republican officials have taken the survey, and their answers show widespread concern about "socialism," individual liberties, and the disconnect of the national Republican leaders from rank-and-file members of the ...
Pre-Tea Party Roundup
By Dave - Politics DailyHere's a pre-Tea Party Roundup. Also more info to local tea parties can be found here. First, we have the Tea Party Anthem: Riehl World View has a warning for both Republicans and Democrats wishing to put the tea parties in a partisan frame: Any line in the sand being drawn here is not between the Left and the Right, Republican versus Democrat, or one socio-economic political agenda or class versus another. The line being drawn is between the proverbial We the People and those that have been governing America for decades....There can be no question that an almost governing elite now spending ...
