“With our new ‘On The Radar’ calls, YG Network is going to be placing a spotlight on an optimistic conservative agenda to solve our country’s most pressing problems,” said YG Network Policy Director April Ponnuru. “President Obama, Nancy Pelosi and other liberals are attempting to rebrand the same policies that have already failed middle-class Americans. We’re going to be working with smart, next-generation conservatives like Senator Thune and Michael Strain to keep the American Dream alive. As the Obama economy limps into its sixth awful year, we need this positive, forward-looking conservative agenda more than ever.”
