In regard to their perspective, I am in total disagreement as to why the LGBT community feels they are being denied their rights as full fledged citizens of this state and country. \r\n\r\nEven though the premise of their argument is that they can never achieve some of the benefits they feel they are “entitled to” unless they have a “sanctioned marriage” recognized by the state. This is only part of the issue. Why doesn’t the LGBT community attempt to acquire these benefit through a constitutional amendment rather than destroy the traditional marriage union that the people of Michigan approved in 2004. Is it that they seek to try to make their abnormal life style normal? Is it to justify their behavior by attempting to make a change in the law that makes their standard the societal standard? \r\n\r\nI can’t speak to their intentions. From my perspective their relationships ARE NOT the standard and they SHOULD NOT become the basis on which we determine what is considered normal or standard behavior. However, it seems that the LGBT community, with the help of Rep. Pam Byrnes,  D-Ann Arbor, have initiated steps by introducing HJR NN in an attempt to repeal the ballot proposal that was approved by the People of The State of Michigan in 2004. The 2004 ballot proposal amended the Michigan Constitution by creating “The Marriage Protection Act”. The act defined a marriage as being between a man and a woman. That is what the people voted for! Now the special interests the LGBT community have decided they know what is best for all of the people of Michigan. How many times do the people of Michigan need to vote on a issue before it is settled?\r\n\r\nAs a Christian I do not believe in evolution. I do believe that we were created by a loving and just God who intended for us to live according to his precepts and commandments. Among those precepts was that we should marry a person of the opposite sex and reproduce. By living by these precepts we please God and we guarantee the continuation of our existence as human beings. Any other relationship that is devoid of the ability to procreate can not and should not be considered a “real marriage”. \r\n\r\nPeople who live in these “other” type relationships that the LGBT is trying to “normalize” should not be denied their basic human rights. Allowing them to be able to unite in a solemn marriage relationship and to have it recognized by the state as a marriage is an abomination. \r\n\r\nHowever, I will gladly change my position regarding same sex marriages when it can be proven to me that same sex partners can find a way to “naturally” reproduce children. \r\n\r\nI urge everyone to write, call, and/or e-mail their State Senator or Representative and urge them to vote against the passage of  HJR NN if it comes up for consideration in the House and/or Senate.\r\n\r\nJust a side note: Representative Mark Meadows of East Lansing has made the statement that it is important to keep the democrats in the majority in the House for the 2010 elections. He didn’t know if the democrats would make an issue in this legislative session because they want to keep control in the House and they know this is a controversial issue. Just remember his statement and the democrats agenda when you go to the polls in next years election.\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n(Published in the St. Johns Independent, Perry Independent, & Laingsburg Indenpendent  on 12/21/09)\r\n\r\n',1),(331,331,'Commissioner Adam Stacey Doing a Great Job\r\n\r\nI would like everyone to know that Bath and Victor Township’s County commissioner is doing a great job at keeping costs down in tough times. As residents of his district we should take note of his efforts to create greater efficiencies in government and other cost-saving steps in the face of reduced revenues. With these steps Commissioner Stacey and the other commissioners have managed to balance their budget for the next fiscal year. \r\n\r\nIt is refreshing to know that there are governmental units that are able to live within the revenues they are allocated. Commissioner Stacey is truly looking out for the township’s residents and their best interests. Adam is a tireless advocate of fiscal responsibility and governmental responsibility. As a Bath township trustee for 4 years Adam was always willing to listen to our concerns and now as a county commissioner he is there for us on issues important to us on the township and county levels.\r\n\r\nAs a service to us he has put up his own web site to serve the residents of his district. The web site (http://www.adamstacey.net/)  is very informative and provides all of us with meaningful information about what is going on in the township and county.

Representative Opsommer is always looking out for our interests by realizing that we are going through difficult economic times. He is working diligently in his attempts to initiate much needed reforms in state government by right sizing the state departments and their services, reforming our tax structures, and making the state a better place for businesses to call home.\r\n\r\nHaving served as the Mayor of DeWitt, he understands the needs of local units of government and their ongoing issues as well as the issues and obstacles facing the state. He has been working tirelessly to represent Clinton and Gratiot counties best interests and to protect our rights as citizens. He provides the residents of the county with an invaluable service and is always willing to listen to your concerns. He believes in transparency and accountability in government at all levels.\r\n\r\nPersonally I have found him to be a refreshing change for a politician.

I do believe that we were created by a loving and just God who intended for us to live according to his precepts and commandments. Among those precepts was that we should marry a person of the opposite sex and reproduce. By living by these precepts we please God and we guarantee the continuation of our existence as human beings. Any other relationship that is devoid of the ability to procreate can not and should not be considered a “real marriage”. \r\n\r\nPeople who live in these “other” type relationships that the LGBT is trying to “normalize” should not be denied their basic human rights. Allowing them to be able to unite in a solemn marriage relationship and to have it recognized by the state as a marriage is an abomination. \r\n\r\nHowever, I will gladly change my position regarding same sex marriages when it can be proven to me that same sex partners can find a way to “naturally” reproduce children. \r\n\r\nI urge everyone to write, call, and/or e-mail their State Senator or Representative and urge them to vote against the passage of  HJR NN if it comes up for consideration in the House and/or Senate.\r\n\r\nJust a side note: Representative Mark Meadows of East Lansing has made the statement that it is important to keep the democrats in the majority in the House for the 2010 elections. He didn’t know if the democrats would make an issue in this legislative session because they want to keep control in the House and they know this is a controversial issue. Just remember his statement and the democrats agenda when you go to the polls in next years election.',1),(464,464,'Every 10 years we have a new national census. That process includes redrawing legislative districts for Michigan’s congressional, state representative, and senatorial districts.

If a politician is a progressive they must want what I want because we all want progress don’t we? That’s where the confusion begins. You don’t have to be a democrat or a republican to be a progressive you just need to adhere to an ideology on what the function of government should be. That is why it is so difficult to identify a progressive unless they tell you they are one like President Obama and Hillary Clinton have done. Progressives have been around for over 100 years and at times they have had famous democrats and republicans among their members including Woodrow Wilson (D), FDR (D), Teddy Roosevelt (R), and William Taft (R). In many ways President George W. Bush was a progressive and so is John McCain. \r\n\r\nSo what makes the democrats and republicans different? Often times it is very difficult to make that determination based on their beliefs. The problem we have as voters is that many of us vote based upon what our party affiliations have traditionally been, rather than being knowledgeable of where a politician stands on the issues of importance to each of us. With that said let’s look at what the progressive ideology encompasses.\r\n\r\n- Progressives believe the supreme court should decide what is right and wrong based on their morality, cultural trends, and foreign law rather than what our constitution says. Essentially they believe that our original constitution is obsolete and that it is a living and evolving document and the original rights, privileges, and protections are open for analysis and modification.\r\n- Progressives understand what is best for the country when it comes to your tax dollars and how much you pay in taxes. They feel the greater your success is, the more responsibility you have to contribute to those who have less in society. This is better known as redistribution of YOUR WEALTH.\r\n- Progressives believe guns are inherently bad in the hands of the citizenry and there should be severe restrictions on possession and ownership. Isn’t this just another example of the progressive’s attempt to strip the constitution of one of our guaranteed rights?\r\n- Progressives believe that government should be the vehicle for meeting your needs rather than you being personally responsible for your own welfare. They need to take care of us because we aren’t capable.\r\n- Progressives believe that it is their responsibility to make us better human beings by molding us into what they feel we should be based on THEIR STANDARDS of acceptability.\r\n- Progressives believe that Christianity is a dangerous religious belief and that it MUST BE SUPPRESSED in its influence on society.\r\n- Progressives believe that having access to abortions is a fundamental human right disregarding the RIGHTS OF THE UNBORN CHILD. They save endangered mice but have no respect for the human fetus!\r\n\r\nTo a progressive, anyone who doesn’t have the same ideological beliefs they do is considered to be uneducated and inferior (i.e., Tea bagger, flat earther, birther, racist, domestic terrorist, or any other derogatory term they can think of.). Ask yourself if your belief structure is similar to that of the progressives regardless of their political ilk. If what they believe is what you believe then read no further you will get what you deserve in due time.\r\n\r\nHowever, if you disagree with what their vision is for your future, you owe it to yourself to do some research on your own to determine where your elected officials stand on these and other issues of importance. \r\n\r\nThe founding fathers gave us the governmental infrastructure to correct abuses by our elected officials and the time has come to make your voice heard. It is time to restore our republic to what it was intended to be and to ensure responsibility, accountability, honesty, and the morality of our elected representatives in Lansing and Washington. It is our responsibility as electors to put people in office who represent us and to eliminate the malignant progressive elements that have infested our government at all levels. We must restore the Republic to once again to be, “of the people, by the people, for the people. . .”, not “Of the progressive, by the progressive, for the progressive”.\r\n\r\nThe 2010 primary and general elections give us a chance to correct the wrongs and put us back on the right path.

As usual the democrats don’t understand the rule of law. First the illegal immigrants are breaking the law by being here; second, they should not have a job here if they are illegal; third, they are not entitled to the rights and privileges the citizens of this country have. \r\n\r\nIf anyone should be responsible for the injury to the illegal immigrant it should be the employer who hired him illegally not the people of the State of Michigan.\r\n\r\nIf, as a State and Nation, we continue to condone the illegal immigration of people from other countries by giving them benefits they are not entitled to we will only promote the continuation of the illegal activity. Only by making illegal immigration less appealing will we be able to curb the onslaught from our southern border. Estimates are that Michigan currently has approximately 125,000 people here illegally and according to authorities a large majority of these illegals have fraudulent social security cards. \r\n\r\nThe argument is always that the illegal immigrant segment of the population has jobs most Michigan citizens wouldn’t be willing to take. With an unemployment rate of 15% in Michigan I seriously question their premise and say illegal immigrants are taking job opportunities away from Michigan’s legal residents. The longer we continue to ignore the problem the worse it is going to get. \r\n\r\nThe government always has purported solutions to the problem, including implementation of more inefficient bureaucratic agencies that subsequently will cost millions/billions of dollars. Throwing money at the problem isn’t the solution. The State and Federal governments need to pass legislation that will correct the problem at our borders and the other issues will take care of themselves.\r\n\r\nMake sure you have a voice this year and elect responsible leaders to go to Lansing and Washington who will truly represent your interests.\r\n\r\n(Submitted for publication to the Owosso Independent, Laingsburg Independent, Perry Independent & The St. Johns/DeWitt Informer on March 31, 2010)\r\n\r\n(Published in the  Laingsburg Independent, Perry Independent on April 4, 2010 & & the St. Johns/DeWitt Informer on April 11, 2010 )\r\n',1),(742,742,'The Senate proposed legislation attempting to solve the illegal immigration problem.

NO ONE will be hired without having this ID.\r\n\r\nThe federal government feels the need for another government run agency. The administrative costs of such a system will add to the growing debt. The cost to the businesses to acquire the equipment to read the IDs just adds another expense they can’t afford. \r\n\r\nThis is an invasion of our privacy rights. I don’t want government requiring me to have an electronic ID that can be hacked into. It would be in everybody’s best interest to enforce the current immigration laws.

We hear the diatribe from both sides of the aisle as they put forth their arguments on the positives and negatives of the plan. If you put all of the extraneous information regarding the health care bill out of the argument it boils down to just a couple of basic issues. Is it “Constitutional” to force everyone to have insurance and how are we going to pay for it? \r\n\r\nThe answer to the first part of the question will ultimately be decided in the courts.\r\n\r\nThe answer to the second part of the question is where the subtle deception, on the part of the democrats, takes place. While the euphoria of the passage of the new “entitlement” lingers and people see that nothing consequential is happening to them “YET” the 2010 elections will be at hand. The Progressive Democrats want you to believe there will be no negatives as a direct result of the new health care bill. All they need you to do is get them re-elected to office before they roll out their real plan. Once they are returned to office they can spring their post-election surprise on all of us. \r\n\r\nThey know they “FUDGED THE FACTS” to get the Congressional Budget Office to make it look like the bill would be “PAID FOR”. The truth is that Speaker Pelosi has planned all along to push through the new “VALUE ADDED TAX (VAT)” like they have in Europe. As she stated in October of last year, \"Somewhere along the way, a value-added tax plays into this. Of course, we want to take down the healthcare cost, that\'s one part of it,\".\r\n\r\nThe democrats know that the VAT is a “Cash Cow” and it can generate vast amounts of money to fill the government coffers to help reduce the deficit that will be a result of the new health care bill. You need to be aware of what the VAT is and the negative impact it will have on your life. The VAT is an invisible consumption tax. It embeds a tax within the cost of an item at each production stage of a products life cycle resulting in the hidden tax at each step. As a result you will see drastic increases in the cost of the goods you consume everyday.\r\n\r\nThe Value Added Tax is something that none of us can afford.

The Heritage Foundation analysis has calculated that farm profits would be reduced in 2012 by 28% and by 57% by 2035 under the Waxman-Markey Bill. These reductions would be a direct result of the higher costs of natural-gas-derived fertilizer and increased energy costs.\r\n\r\nEven though this legislation has stalled in the Senate, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stepped forward to say they will implement new regulations on their own without passage of the legislation. These new regulations pose a serious threat to Michigan’s agricultural interests. \r\n\r\nUnder a ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court the EPA has the authority to regulate CO2 emissions for motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act. As a result of that ruling they have extended it to apply to farming operations. Additionally, permit and other requirements would also be a part of the compliance process for entities using fossil fuels, such as small businesses, commercial properties, and agricultural operations.\r\n\r\nOf concern, according to American Farm Bureau, are the Title V provisions of the Clean Air Act\'s operating permits program, as well as the pre-construction permitting program known as Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD). According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Title V would apply to \"dairy facilities with over 25 cows, beef cattle operations of over 50 cattle, swine operations with over 200 hogs, and farms with over 500 acres of corn.\"\r\n\r\nThe EPA estimates the first-year cost of each Title V permit would be $46,500 and the PSD cost of $84,500. The EPA has tried to avoid the impact on small businesses and farms (at least temporarily) by increasing the threshold for CO2 emissions from 250 to 25,000 tons but these temporary exclusions would only apply until 2016.\r\n\r\nWith the added costs for fuel, fertilizer, and permits it would seem that the future of Michigan’s agricultural business is in grave danger.

If progressive democrats are so concerned about rights, what about the right to choose whether you want to have healthcare? Isn’t it hypocritical or disingenuous, on their part, to deny people the right to make their own choice regarding healthcare? If they believe in a RIGHT TO CHOOSE they shouldn’t deny others their right to choose. If they don’t want the government telling a woman they can’t make decisions regarding a woman’s body shouldn’t we have that same right regarding our body and healthcare? \r\n\r\nRegardless of where you stand on healthcare, and whether it is good or bad, the federal requirement mandating that we must purchase insurance, or be fined if we don’t comply, is an unconstitutional infringement on our individual rights.

In a study by state universities it has been determined that tax abatements do not aid economic growth but they may actually be causing greater fiscal distress to many of the communities they have been granted to.\r\n\r\nIn part the reports findings concluded:\r\n\r\n     - Michigan communities are losing up to $1 billion annually in tax revenue in a largely futile effort to attract and keep manufacturing jobs in Michigan.\r\n     - With only a few exceptions the tax breaks did little or nothing to increase employment.\r\n     - The abatements allow for reducing a company’s tax debt by 50%, in return for the guarantee there will be job creation or retention for up to 12 years. More often than not there is no follow up to verify  the guarantee has been upheld, and when verification is made often times the requirements of the guarantee have not been met.\r\n     - Approximately 600 abatements are awarded each year with the net result of a $1 billion tax loss to the state.\r\n     - Tax abatement are generally not monitored after they are awarded. \r\n     - Tax abatements renewals are often given to the same companies over and over again, often times forestalling their eventual failure.\r\n\r\nMichigan needs to evaluate its business tax structure and reform it to make it a level playing field for all businesses and not just a select few.

S. Constitution.\r\n\r\nIt isn’t surprising that Congress doesn’t follow what the constitution says regarding States rights and our individual rights and freedoms. They don’t follow it because they feel OUR original constitution has become obsolete.  Like all liberal progressives they feel we have “evolved” as a country and they know what is best for us.\r\n\r\nOur liberal progressive Congress believes we are incapable of taking care of ourselves so it has become their responsibility to oversee our welfare. They do this by continually proposing and mandating unfunded policies and programs like universal health care.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself, why does Congress feel they can strip us of our constitutional rights? According to the Constitution they have no legal authority to mandate most of their bloated, inefficient government programs but they continue to jam them down our throats anyway. It’s about time we begin to elect people to send to Lansing and Washington who will represent our interests and follow the Constitution they have taken an oath to defend and protect.\r\n\r\nThe tenth amendment clearly defines the constraints the founding fathers felt essential in keeping us the true “Republic” we were intended to be. One of the founders greatest fears was that the States and the People would see a usurpation of their rights by a “DESPOTIC” form of government, which is what we are quickly “evolving” into under the Obama administration.\r\n\r\nThe only way to reverse this progressive onslaught is to elect people who believe in “Our Original Constitution” and the rights and privileges it afforded us.

The progressive democrats, in Washington, want us to believe the new healthcare plan will “be revenue neutral” and would save us money in the long term. I don’t know if our democratic politicians have all become so deluded they actually believe the drivel they spew out or if they have decided they can just blatantly lie to us. Rahm Emanual and Nancy Pelosi would have us believe the new health care bill will save us $1,300,000,000.00 dollars. \r\n\r\nIf history is any indication of what government can do to run any program, in a fiscally responsible way, then I think we need to view their rosy projections with a serious dose of skepticism. Medicare is a perfect example of projections versus reality. After Medicare was enacted in 1965 it was projected that by 1990 it would have an annual cost of approximately $9 billion dollars. Isn’t it surprising then that the final figures from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) showed the actual cost for 1990 was $67 billion dollars. That isn’t too far off, only $58,000,000,000.00 or just 7 times the original projected cost. Grossly inaccurate projections related to the cost of federal programs are almost always the rule rather than the exception when it comes to federal programs. \r\n\r\nPresident Obama and his health care proponents are quick to tout Massachusetts as an example of how government health care can work. However, they don’t tell you that its projected cost of $472 million for 2008 ended up with a final price tag of $628 million. You also need to remember that Senator Tom Harken from Iowa stated, “What we are buying here is a modest home, not a mansion. What we are getting here is a starter home . . . But, we can build additions as we go along in the future. It is a starter home. Think about it in that way.”. The democrats have only built the foundation of their health care program.

That is exactly what is happening with the “Michigan Bridge Card”. The card was implemented as a way to provide a more secure mechanism for providing “Essential Aid” for the poor by replacing paper checks and traditional food stamps. \r\n\r\nStatistics show approximately 1.6 million people in Michigan currently receive the Bridge Card with a cost to the state of almost $2.2 billion. It is estimated that $300 million of the “Bridge Card” monies are used illegally to purchase alcohol, tobacco, and other non-authorized items. \r\n\r\nWith Michigan facing a $1.7 trillion budget deficit it would seem imperative the abuses be eliminated from the “Bridge Card” program. A savings of $300 million, or 18% of the deficit, would be a big step in helping to reduce the budget shortfall. \r\n\r\nThe Michigan House Republicans have introduced a series of bills that would put some controls in determining who is eligible to receive the benefit. Among the controls outlined in the bills are the following:\r\n- Require the cardholder’s photo and signature be on the card.\r\n- Deny benefits to noncustodial parents who owe child support.\r\n- Deny approval to college students being claimed on their parent’s tax returns.\r\n- Implement a process to deny approval to incarcerated persons.\r\n- Prohibit the card from being used for cash withdrawals, tobacco, alcohol, and lottery tickets.\r\n- Require clerks to verify the Bridge Cards users identity with a valid picture ID.\r\n- Require random drug testing and test negative to receive the Card benefits.\r\n\r\nThese bills have all been referred to the Committee on Judiciary in the Michigan House of Representatives.

With the democrats in control of the Michigan House it is unlikely these bills will ever get to the floor for a vote, let alone get passed by the full house. \r\n\r\nThe questions you need to ask yourself are:\r\n- Is it OK to waste $300 million that could be saved by passing these bills?\r\n- Do you want your taxes raised “AGAIN” to cover the deficit that could be reduced by making the responsible decision to eliminate the abuse.\r\n\r\nWith that said there are two things you need to do:\r\n- Vote for people who will be fiscally responsible this fall.\r\n- Call Rep.

Our country has been at similar crossroads in our history before but never to the degree we are at now. Secular progressives have made serious attempts in the past to destroy our Republic and turn it into a socialist based form of government. Since the early 1900’s we have seen incremental changes taking place at various times when the progressive elements for both the Democrat and Republican parties have had control of the White House and Congress. Once again we find ourselves in a situation where those same progressive elements are implementing programs and policies that will drastically change the structure of our government and businesses. These secular progressive elements of our society have essentially hijacked the traditional democrat party to the point where the party is no longer recognizable. They have also made ideological inroads into the Republican Party as well.\r\n\r\nPresident Obama has stated his election would be a transformational event, and that it would “fundamentally transform our country . . .”.  Hopefully the people of our country will take pause at what the President has said and recognize the path he is taking us down is not what our founders originally intended for our Republic. The progressives have infiltrated our educational systems and adulterated the content of what is taught to our children to conform to what their perception of our history should be. They have brainwashed our children with their biased perceptions of history, the sciences, and moral values. This societal malignancy has been slowly metastasizing for the last 50 years and it is now at the stage where it needs to be excised before our country dies from the disease of progressivism.\r\n\r\nUnless the citizens of OUR COUNTRY awaken to what is transpiring, the phrase “WE THE PEOPLE . . .”, will no longer be applicable. The phrase, “WE THE PROGRESSIVES . . .”, will be our country’s clarion call. Ask yourself if you are satisfied with what is happening in Washington and the decisions they have been making on your behalf? Have they been a good steward of your money? Have they been passing legislation that represents your core moral values? Have they protected your personal rights guaranteed by the Constitution? Have they approved people who will represent you on the Supreme Court and who will uphold our ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION and THE BILL OF RIGHTS? Have they lived up to their oath of office to uphold the Constitution or do they even believe in the Constitution? You have a right to know where they stand on these issues!\r\n\r\nIf you feel that your elected officials represent you, read no further – you will get what you deserve. However if you feel that you are no longer represented in Lansing and Washington find out what the people who are running for office stand for and hold them accountable. If you fail to take your responsibility as a voter seriously you may well see the day when you lose that right. Like a thief in the night your life and future will be transformed and you could find yourself living in a country where your rights and freedoms were something you used to have. \r\nYou hold the keys to your future, and that of your children and grandchildren. This is your chance to be a Patriot and to make a “REAL CHANGE” in our country instead of the hollow mantra of the progressives of their so-called “HOPE & CHANGE”.

In some instances, as could be the case with Elena Kagan, a justice could serve for 40 years or more.\r\n\r\nA Supreme Court justice appears before the U.S. Senate where individual senators attempt to glean information from the recommended appointee on their political and social philosophies. Those philosophies are traditionally based on political or social criteria, such as abortion, gay marriage, eminent domain, the constitution, civil rights, and others.\r\n\r\nThe current President’s nominee has his political and social leanings with the intended hope that the court will carry on his agenda long after he looses or has been term limited from office. With that said it isn’t surprising that previous Supreme Court nominee hearings have been so contentious. \r\n\r\nWhen the Senate begins its hearings, Elena Kagan will be on display where everyone will be able to see what President Obama and the progressive democrats have envisioned from their appointee or what the opposition, constitutional conservatives republicans abhor about her purported credentials. In the past we have seen good men and women vilified by senators from the opposing side of the political and social fence hoping for the nominee to stumble so that a more moderate person would be recommended. In the case of Elena Kagan, that isn’t likely. She will probably be confirmed even though she will be one of the most polarizing and liberal progressive people to ever be nominated. Because of the overwhelming number of democrats and moderate republicans in the Senate there is virtually little chance of a filibuster to deny her confirmation. \r\n\r\nIn the end the ultimate battle won’t be between men of opposing parties but between political ideologies relating to our CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS as they were given to us AT BIRTH BY OUR CREATOR and granted to us in our ORIGINAL CONSTITUTION. The democrats would have us believe we have an evolving constitution that is based on case law rather than the original constitution and its basic tenets. \r\n  1. They would have us believe that the Supreme Court justices can look at what they “thought” the founders “intended or really wanted” when they formulate their opinions. \r\n  2. They believe that justices can look to international law when making their deliberations and subsequent decisions. \r\n  3. They believe they can favor certain classes of people based on their lot in life or based on what they call “social justice”.\r\n\r\nI ask, do you want a Supreme Court justice who believes in this country, our original constitution, and the republic, as it was created where everyone is equal under the law; or do you want a Supreme Court justice who has specific agendas and intentions to change this country into something that will not resemble what our founders intended? \r\n\r\nIt is probably too late to stop the confirmation of Elena Kagan, but remember the people you send to Washington have a life changing impact on every aspect of your life, now more than ever.

The polls also show the majority of the legislation congress is passing doesn’t have the approval of the voters. We know the people in congress require our votes to be reelected, so why would they be taking the politically suicidal path of passing laws that we don’t want? Could it be they have discovered a way to be reelected to office even if their favorability ratings are abysmal? It would appear that is the case.\r\n\r\nSenator Shummer and Representative Barney Frank have proposed that “Universal Voter Registration” be enacted into law nationwide. With the passage of this legislation, “State voter laws” would be swept away and replaced with these new “Federal voter laws”. Under the guise of giving everyone the right to vote, Shummer and Frank would introduce a voter registration system that would be fraught with opportunities for fraud. The new system would require individual states to submit various lists, including: welfare recipients, the unemployed, property owners, driver’s license holders, convicted felons, and others. These lists would be used to automatically register them to vote, whether they wanted to be registered or not. To the democrats this would be a dream come true! No longer would some of their biggest supporters be hindered from voting. Under the new mandate “illegal residents” who hold a driver’s license would automatically become registered voters. People whose names that would appear on more than one of these lists could potentially vote more than once.\r\n\r\nThis new law is so flawed it would make a sham of our entire electoral process. There will be no way to verify if someone is voting more than once or if they are legal citizens. The federal government needs to leave election laws to the states. It is imperative the states have the right to validate a voter’s credentials. If you truly want reform and accountability in our elections, maybe it is time we institute a “political literacy test” to verify if people actually know the candidates and the issues, rather than have voters who are nothing more than pawns for the progressive democrats and their fraudulent schemes.\r\n\r\nIf you want fair elections call your elected members of Congress and tell them to vote against this legislation and when you go to the polls this August and November vote for people who will protect your rights.\r\n\r\n(Submitted for publication to the Dewitt/Bath Review & The Clinton County News, The St. Johns/DeWitt Informer, The Laingsburg Independent, The Owosso Independent, & The Perry Independent on June 12, 2010 )\r\n\r\n(Published in the . . . )\r\n',1),(1010,1010,'We always look forward to a new year in anticipation of a renewed spirit and the hope that our future will be brighter. However, as we approach 2011 we are faced with the stark reality that we will have less money to live on because of our gift from the progressive democrats and the president. These gifts come in the form of a number of tax and fee increases scheduled to take effect in the New Year.\r\n\r\nEarly next year, for many of us, federal, state, and local tax rates will go up and with the expiration of the Bush tax cuts we will see the personal income tax rate increase to the previous levels that were in effect before Bush came into office. There will also be increases in the capital gains tax from 15% to 20%, and the estate tax from 0% to 55%. These increases are just a few of the changes that will be taking place in the tax code because of the sunset provisions of the Bush tax cuts.\r\n\r\nThe elimination of the Bush tax cuts is the known change that will take place in 2011. It is the unknown that is potentially more disconcerting.

My conclusion is the government feels we are responsible for its’ out of control spending and lack of fiscal responsibility.

It is a constant commitment to excellence, a habit . . . a daily practice” (Unknown). Jamie Clover-Adams is an individual who exemplifies this quote in her everyday life, and that is why I’m asking you to join me in supporting Republican candidate, Jamie Clover-Adams, for county commission in the 6th District. \r\n\r\nJamie has vast experience in various policy issues. As the former Kansas Secretary of Agriculture and her service as a policy advisor in the Michigan Senate for the past seven years, Jamie’s leadership and knowledge in agricultural and economic issues is invaluable. With her positive, proven track record, I know she will apply the same determination, diligence and resourcefulness as our next County Commissioner.\r\n\r\nAs residents of Clinton County, we have been fortunate to have leaders in our community that have proven responsible spending and a balanced budget. Jamie Clover-Adams has demonstrated her commitment and loyalty to our state and will be a positive addition the Board of Commissioners. On Tuesday, November 2nd, vote Jamie Clover-Adams, for County Commissioner.  \r\n\r\n(Submitted  for publication to the DeWitt/Bath Review )',1),(1213,1213,'I, like many American citizens concerned about our country, often focus my attention on the legislative and executive process of our government. They are, after all, the branches that gain the most attention by far. But when you study the way our government is set up (and it is set up well), you realize that the Judicial Branch is the most powerful. Yes, the Governor and legislators get the vast majority of attention, but it is our Justices that determine whether or not a law should stand or be discarded. It is so vitally important that we make sure the right people are in those positions. What kind of a person should hold these positions? Lately, much ado has been made that Justices need an “empathetic” approach when governing. The argument is made that this will help them have a connection to what the people are going through when making a ruling. A Justice who was recently nominated to the U.S. Supreme court cited the fact that she hoped “a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life” (emphasis mine). Should a Justice’s ruling be based on their life experiences or founded on what the law states? Should a murderer get less time in jail because he has had a harder time in life than others? We would definitely say NO!! The reason for laws is to help keep one person’s feelings out of the way of the decision process. It is only in this way that we are all EQUALLY protected under the Constitution. For this reason, I support Justice Bob Young to the Michigan Supreme Court. He is a Justice that has a record of ruling based on the law, and not personal feelings. Michigan needs him.\r\n\r\n(Submitted  for publication to the DeWitt/Bath Review  & The Owosso Independent )',1),(1214,1214,'Good Old Joe Stalin said, “It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes”.  George Soros and his progressive colleagues have known that for a long time and have used this practice as part of their election warefare to influence, if not steal elections in the past. Soros started “The Secretary of State Project” (SoSP) in the fall of 2005 under the guise of “reforming” elections.\r\n\r\nIt would seem an admirable goal to reform the election process until you find out what the real intent of the project is. Their professed goal, as described in a quote from their website states, \r\n\r\n“We can be sure that the Republicans and the opponents of honest elections will try triply hard to regain lost seats and capture seats held by reformers.” \r\n\r\nIf this project was truly an attempt to reform elections why would it reference a particular party and be targeting specific states to get democrats elected to those positions. The Soros game plan is to work hand-in-hand with another Soros group, Project Vote, that then targets a Republican Secretary of State who is ethical and enforces current state election laws. \r\n\r\nWith Soros money the progressives were able to influence the 2006 elections in the states of Montana, West Virginia, Missouri, Oregon, and in 2008, Minnesota, Ohio, New Mexico, Nevada and Iowa. Soros, founded and funded the SoSP with $780,000 dollars of his “make elections fair” money. The people who run the program’s website are admitted progressives. On their website they have stated: \r\n\r\n“In Minnesota, we helped Mark Ritchie beat a Republican incumbent. Because of Secretary of State Ritchie’s dedication to fairness and transparency, a recount in the Coleman-Franken Senate race ensured every vote was counted and resulted in the certification of Al Franken’s narrow victory in the 2008 Minnesota Senate contest. Dollar for dollar, the SoS Project was one of 2006’s most effective political investments.” \r\n\r\nYou all watched the fiasco as somehow they found ballots in the trunks of cars and ruled that other votes should be included in the count, eventually putting Al Franken into the Senate.\r\n\r\nIN 2010 the SoSP IS TARGETING: MICHIGAN!\r\n\r\nSoros wants anything but fair elections. \r\n\r\nHONEST ELECTIONS mean that every “legal” vote should count, not that every vote should count regardless of how, when, and where the votes were found. \r\n\r\nVOTE FOR RUTH JOHNSON FOR SECRETARY OF STATE!\r\n\r\n(Submitted  for publication to the DeWitt/Bath Review, Clinton County News, Laingsburg independent,  Perry Independent & The St. Johns/DeWitt Informer )',1),(1215,1215,'Joe Stalin said, “It’s not who votes that counts, it’s who counts the votes”.

Weaver had announced earlier this year that she would be declaring herself as an independent candidate for the Michigan Supreme Court. Even though she had affiliated herself with the Republican Party in the past to garner support from an electoral base, everyone knew she was a Republican in “name only”. \r\n\r\nHer final act of defiance was to strike a backroom deal with Granholm when she announced she was going to step down before the end of her current term. For her early resignation she bargained with Granholm to agree to appoint a judge of Weaver’s choice from northern Michigan. So it was no surprise when Granholm appointed Judge Alton Davis to replace Weaver on the ballot in November.\r\n\r\nThe collusion between Weaver and Granholm is unconscionable and may even be illegal in how the deal was made to name her replacement. The greatest repercussion of this appointment may be yet to come. With Justice Davis appearing as the “incumbent” on the ballot he will have a decided advantage in his effort to be reelected. Ultimately, if Davis retains his ill gotten seat on the Michigan Supreme Court he may eventually be the deciding vote if the redistricting of Michigan’s Congressional, Michigan House, and Michigan Senate districts is settled by the Supreme Court.\r\n\r\nSend a message to Granholm and the progressive democrats when you vote for the Michigan Supreme Court candidates this November.
