As a result in six of the county&rsquo;s 33 precincts the delegate seats are contested for the first time.</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It doesn&rsquo;t take a rocket scientist to figure out the AGENDA of these special interests.</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">They will say the Governor should be able to pick his running mate.</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">They will say if Calley doesn&rsquo;t win it will embarrass the Governor and the Republican Party.</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The truth is, the Republican Party should already be embarrassed by their underhanded tactics and actions.</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The bottom line is that Republican Party rules allow for someone else to run for the Lieutenant Governor&rsquo;s position at the convention even though the state party has tried to circumvent the process several times in the last year.</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">If the state party makes a rule they should live by it!

Wouldn&rsquo;t we be better served by letting the &ldquo;people speak&rdquo; at the convention without stacking the deck ahead of time?</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">It certainly seems like we have gone down a bad road where the &ldquo;ends justify the means&rdquo; &ndash; I thought we were the party of principals not to be lumped in with the democrats!</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Shouldn&rsquo;t we be more concerned about the destruction of our country and electing responsible people to office in Lansing and Washington?</span></div>\r\n<div>&nbsp;</div>\r\n<div><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The state Republican Party wants to be inclusive and have a &ldquo;Big Tent&rdquo;!

Any graduating high school and/or home schooled senior who will be attending a college, university, or trade school beginning the fall semester of 2014 will be eligible to submit their application and essay. The scholarships will be available to all senior high school students residing in Clinton County.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Applications for the scholarship should be filled out and an essay written based on the subject matter described in the application.

Throughout human history, societies have tried numerous ways of governing people, each with varying successes. From ancient Roman emperors, to old French kings, to modern American presidents, throughout the ages, the ways of governing have been added to continuously because of revolutionary ideas. As Americans, we have been fortunate enough to have benefited from a free society, thanks to certain simple, revolutionary ideas. These ideas grew rapidly and triggered a whole new vision of life and its meaning. Directly proportional to these ideas were the exceptional people behind them, who started the spark and encouraged the flame. Such names as George Washington, Thomas Paine, and Paul Revere, continually echo throughout American history as prime examples of ideal, patriotic Americans. They stood for freedom of speech, of religion, of the press&mdash;for &ldquo;life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,&rdquo; so that all people who came to America would be given an equal chance and wouldn&rsquo;t be hindered by an unjust and greedy government. They stood for a limited government that would provide for the needs of the people, and yet still maintain freedom. By means of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, they set this tone of freedom, which they intended to be spread throughout the United States of America, and influence the unborn generations yet to come.<br />\r\n</span><br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">Their vision for the federal government was based off the assumption that well-intended workers were to represent the local people as a whole in their area. In their minds, the government&rsquo;s role, while being run by ordinary people, was to simply keep order, ensure freedom, and protect all American citizens, and let the rest be managed by the people. They envisioned there to be a hassle-free, simple willingness of the people to govern themselves. They intended for the people to have the aid of the federal government only in pressing issues which couldn&rsquo;t be resolved by the local communities. In the founding leaders&rsquo; vision, there was no room for mandatory governmental healthcare, stimulus money, or a trillion dollar debt. Obviously, these men had great expectations for the government. They were aiming so that the government of the United States would never turn into what they had just come from, where the government was ruled by tyrants who declared unjust laws.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">In our federal government today, it would be wise for us to look back at our founding leaders&rsquo; vision. Its importance for today is becoming ever clearer. The spirit in Washington, D.C. is no longer identical to the original American spirit. Whereas the American people want the federal government out of personal lives, the federal government continues making reasons as to why it is essential for it to be there. Therefore, the federal government, while it is important for our country&rsquo;s survival, has inexplicitly become a crutch. It has force-fed its people in order for them to become dependent on it. Now, as a consequence, the people are slowly relinquishing their freedom and allowing more intrusive laws and regulations.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">The pressing question now is: what will cause us to get back to our founding leaders&rsquo; vision? That has been debated countless times and there is no clear path in front of us. In the meantime, we should all be focusing on keeping our own personal life in sync with our own ideals. If we ourselves look back to the ways of government that we so desire, and in turn match our lifestyle to that simple way, perhaps it will quicken the return of limited government in our country. We all must have faith that we American citizens can influence our federal government one voter at a time. Finally, we must never lose sight of the plentitude of freedom we still possess and be thankful for the sacrifice it took.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span>',2),(1926,1926,'<strong><span style=\"color: rgb(128, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

I believe that our country&rsquo;s founding leaders had a clear vision of the role of the federal government.&nbsp; James Madison and other founding fathers made this apparent in the Constitution of the United States.&nbsp; Here they laid out their ideas of an ideal, but not perfect government.&nbsp; They envisioned the government as being the voice and protector of the people.&nbsp; The role of the federal government should be to do what is best for the United States as a whole while trying to keep the best interests of the people in mind.&nbsp; The government should also protect every person&rsquo;s unalienable rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and happiness.&nbsp; Our founding fathers also defined what the role of the government is by establishing the three branches of government.&nbsp; The legislative, executive, and judicial branches each have a precise role in our government according to the Constitution.&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe they wanted the government to be a strong and dependable force in our lives, but not to be too controlling or big.&nbsp; They showed this by establishing that our country&rsquo;s economic system is free enterprise.&nbsp; This way, people can make their own decisions while the government can provide for essential public services.&nbsp; Therefore, I believe our founding father&rsquo;s vision of the role of the federal government is to act on our country&rsquo;s and people&rsquo;s best interests while not being too big.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; While our country&rsquo;s founding leaders&rsquo; vision of the role of the federal government has not changed, it still remains very relevant and important today.&nbsp; The United States is in a recession right now, and does not seem to be coming out of it soon.&nbsp; Our country is currently facing the biggest deficit we&rsquo;ve ever had, currently at over $14 trillion.&nbsp; Millions of unborn children have been killed due to abortions because of the Roe v. Wade case.&nbsp; The government is imposing job-killing laws that put more regulations on businesses.&nbsp; There is too much reckless and irresponsible spending going on in Capital Hill.&nbsp; The list can go on and on.&nbsp; This is where the federal government needs to step in and realize that these things need to be stopped.&nbsp; First of all, the federal government needs to protect the right to life, including unborn children.&nbsp; The government has to protect the most innocent of our society.&nbsp; The government needs to reduce spending immediately and decrease our dependence on foreign oil to stimulate the economy.&nbsp; Raising taxes is not the answer to our spending problems, so cuts must be made.&nbsp; I believe the government should have some regulations on businesses, but not so many that we cannot be competitive in a global economy.&nbsp; The government needs to identify what is proper and necessary for the good of the public, and eliminate what is not.&nbsp; For example, President Barack Obama&rsquo;s budget for 2010 had a deficit of $1.555 trillion. This is an outrageous number, let alone that is only for one year.&nbsp; The U.S. Representatives just passed a bill that would reduce federal spending by an unprecedented $38 billion.&nbsp; This is hopefully the beginning of reduced spending and more responsible use of our hard-earned tax money.&nbsp; <br />\r\n<br />\r\nIn conclusion, I believe the federal government needs to go back to its roots and look upon our founding leaders&rsquo; views of government.&nbsp; They need to be reminded of what the role of the federal government was intended to be.&nbsp; Only then will we see the necessary reform that is needed in Washington D.C.<br />\r\n</span><br />',2),(1927,1927,'<span style=\"color: rgb(128, 0, 0);\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: large;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

It has been estimated the Michigan Republican Party needs to get an additional one million more republican voters to the polls than who voted for Rick Snyder in 2010 to beat President Obama and Debbie Stabenow.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nTo accomplish that goal we are asking ALL of the Clinton County Precinct Delegates to do their part by calling people who are designated by the State Party as &ldquo;undefined voters&rdquo; and ask them a series of survey questions to help ascertain what their voting inclination will be when they vote in the 2012 general election.

This poll is limited in the responses that can be given to a specific poll question. The results of this poll type can always be seen on our home page as people vote in the poll.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nOur second poll type is used to gather information by using a webform. The webform allows for a greater degree of input from the respondents. These polls can be found on the &quot;About Us&gt; Polls&quot; menubar drop down menu option. Poll results for this poll type can\'t be seen as people vote but is released only after the results are tabulated. After tabulation the result s are e-maild as part of our eNewsletter.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong><span style=\"color: rgb(128, 0, 0);\">Summary:</span></strong></span><br />\r\nWe find that both poll types help us to tell what is important to our county\'s residents. These poll results are shared with our elected officials to help them to see where their constitutents stand on the various issues, and hopefulyy to guide their votes on legislation.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nWe hope you find the polls useful.<br />',2),(2471,2471,'&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

ACT <br />\r\n<br />\r\nAffordable Care Act. Obamacare. The health care bill. Whatever it is you refer to it as, it&rsquo;s unconstitutional to its core. While supporters of the legislation falsely promote its function to insure the uninsured and provide cheaper overall health care as well as state that the forced purchase of health insurance is within the federal government&rsquo;s jurisdiction under the commerce clause, it must be noted that nowhere in the constitution anything medical, including health care, is ever mentioned. Under the commerce clause, the central government is given the power to regulate interstate commerce, but not to force citizens to buy a consumer product. Because the commerce clause does not justify the law, the power to regulate health care is most certainly only left to the individual states.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nFrom the states&rsquo; perspective, the Affordable Care Act, among numerous other pieces of current legislation, is a direct violation of the states&rsquo; rights, and goes against the limitations of governmental powers. The tenth amendment to the United States Constitution was the last amendment included in the Bill of Rights, authored by James Madison, who, through also authoring many of the Federalist Papers of the eighteenth century, advocated the strict and limited roles of the federal government. Supported by the proponents of adding individual rights to the already ratified Constitution, the Bill of Rights created a crucial amendment in maintaining a federal system of states within a union. An important amendment, the tenth specifies that any power not explicitly given to the federal government is then reserved for the individual states.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThose who believe the Affordable Care Act is constitutional point to the provisions of the commerce clause. Under the commerce clause, Congress has the power to regulate interstate commerce. However, it is only commerce that substantially affects interstate transactions that is under the jurisdiction of the federal government. This important distinction is necessary in preserving the balance in powers between the federal government, and those governments closer to the people. However, the Affordable Care Act, signed by President Obama and effective on March 23, 2010, mandates individuals to purchase a privately manufactured and run consumer product, or pay a fine if they refuse to purchase insurance. This in no way correlates to the guidelines under the commerce clause, and therefore the power of regulating and shoving healthcare unto the nation is not explicitly given to Congress. The possessors of this power then lie solely in the states.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nThe Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional from its very perception, as it directly violates the tenth amendment in that it has acted on powers reserved only for the individual states. Furthermore, in mandating all citizens to purchase a good or give up money rightfully earned, it is restricting not only the rights of the states, but the direct rights of the constituents of the country.<br />\r\n<br />\r\n_________<br />\r\nBibliography<br />\r\n&quot;Bill of Rights in the News.&quot; Bill of Rights Institute.

Education is not delegated to or prohibited by the states, and therefore should specifically remain in the hands of the states. The recent spread of a federal program that will standardize education in America severely limits state sovereignty. Common Core, introduced by the Obama Administration over the recent years, has been adopted in forty-five states. The Common Core curriculum, which the federal government has put pressure on the states to adopt, infringes on the rights of the states as delegated by the Tenth Amendment.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The push to standardize education in the United States may come with good intentions, but it will not reap benefits in the classroom. Common Core limits control in local school districts, but hits teachers the hardest. If teachers are expected to teach to the standards of the federal program, they are no longer able to fit lesson plans to compliment the background of his or her students. English and Math are two of the subjects that are hoped to be implemented under Common Core by the end of 2014. Having uniforms lessons in English is a wild risk, when literature and prose interpretations vary across the boards. A student\'s benefit from an English class directly relates to how he or she relates to the lesson they are presented with. A freshman student from Alaska will have a much different impression of To Kill A Mockingbird compared to a student in Alabama. Teachers will lose their ability to shape their lesson plans to cater specifically to their students with Common Core.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another issue resulting from Common Core comes from standardized testing. Having standard education benchmarks are sure to come with a fair share of standardized tests, which will force teachers to teach for the tests, and not for the students. Teachers will lose control in the classroom, and the ability to go deeper into certain topics to allow students to not only expand their knowledge in one subject, but their insight about the world. Standardized tests will put pressure on teachers to meet guidelines. Students who go through school with just the intent of getting a good grade will not benefit nearly as much as a student who went through school with the intention of learning and understanding the material. The same goes for teachers. They can either teach passionately and thoroughly about a topic, or they can teach only the basics that will be covered on the standardized exams.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Allowing the states to regulate their own education system will guarantee the most personalized education for students. Providing an education specifically to the students will raise young adults with intellectual minds, who are ready to take on tomorrow\'s world. Taking this power from the states will negatively impact American students. Common Core should not be implemented because it restricts the Tenth Amendment, and taints the vision that the Founding Fathers had for the United States.</span><br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><br />\r\n</span></span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><br />\r\n</span>',2),(2707,2707,'<span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><img width=\"215\" height=\"255\" alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/paape_500web8.jpg\" /><br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Daughter</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"> of Randy &amp; Alicia Paape<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Bath</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"> High School Graduate</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; GPA: ______</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Salutatorian</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Organizations/Extra Curricular:&nbsp; National Honor Society, Renaissance member, <br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; basketball,</span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> soccer, Bath AYSO u8/u10 coach, Bath Youth basketball camps, class <br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; vice president.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Community Service: </span><span style=\"font-size: larger;\"><br />\r\n<br />\r\n</span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Work: .</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"> <span style=\"color: rgb(128, 0, 0);\"><em><strong> RENEE PAAPE ESSAY:</strong></em></span></span><br />\r\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br />\r\n<strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> The Tenth Amendment and Medicinal Marijuana</span></strong><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Since the founding of the United States, and the creation of our government, the people of America knew that a federal government needed to be limited. The Tenth Amendment is an important &ldquo;check&rdquo; to keep the powers of the federal government from growing too strong. It confirms that any power not delegated to the United States federal government is given to the states and or the people. Yet lately, there has been confusion and anger regarding the Tenth Amendment. The federal government has, throughout history, continuously reached its hand in state affairs, causing much debate and conflict between state and federal governments. One such affair is the issue on medicinal marijuana laws and its confliction with federal laws stating marijuana as an illegal substance and a Schedule I drug.&nbsp; </span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The direct conflict comes from the federal Controlled Substances Act and the twenty states and the District of Columbia [2] that goes against the CSA&rsquo;s regulation of banned substances.&nbsp; According to the CSA the federal government &ldquo;does not recognize the difference between medical and recreational use of marijuana&rdquo; [1], it is a Schedule I substance that is highly addictive and has no real medical value. This conflicts with many state laws, including Michigan&rsquo;s own law stating that &ldquo;allows medical marijuana use by patients who have been diagnosed by physician as having debilitating medical condition&rdquo; [3]. Thus the controversial issue of the limits of the federal government versus the rights of the state government arises.</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The state government has every right to decide their own policies concerning the use of medical marijuana. All states have the right to &ldquo;to exercise a police power for the benefits of their particular residents&rdquo; [4], and the federal government and the DEA (the Drug Enforcement Administration that polices federal drug laws) are unjust in encroaching on these basic state rights. Nowhere in the delegated federal powers presented in the constitution give the federal government any right to govern over this matter federally. The federal government protects their right to govern over the issue by claiming that the distribution of medicinal marijuana falls under their right to regulate commerce. This defense was held up by the Supreme Court in the case Gonzales v. Raich where the court stated that &ldquo;the commerce clause gave Congress authority to prohibit the local cultivation and use of marijuana, despite state law to the contrary&rdquo; [5]. This court case shows the gross stretching of the federal government&rsquo;s delegated clauses and shows the Tenth Amendment being stripped of its power to protect state rights. </span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Another issue that arises with medicinal marijuana is the confusion over the enforcement of the federal law versus the state law. Even though the DEA, at the present time, has the unjust right to arrest people for the use of medical marijuana, it has been stated that &ldquo;ideally, the DEA will leave medical marijuana patients and their caregivers alone&rdquo; [1]. The Obama administration has also been noted in encouraging federal prosecutors to not prosecute &ldquo;people who distribute marijuana for medical purposes in accordance to state law&rdquo; [6]. This new loosening of enforcement has also heightened the peoples&rsquo; confusion over the topic of medicinal marijuana. Why should the federal government still stand by the Controlled Substance Act&rsquo;s clause about marijuana if they choose not to even enforce it to its full capacity? </span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The federal government is clearly encroaching on the state&rsquo;s delegated power by stripping them of their Tenth Amendment right and stretching their own delegated powers. To the issue of medicinal marijuana and many other controversial issues involving state verse federal government powers, the federal government should step back and allow the state&rsquo;s their right to create their own policies concerning the issue&rsquo;s matter, and not overstep the boundaries given to them in the Constitution. </span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n____________&emsp;<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> Works Cited:</span><br />\r\n<br />\r\n<span style=\"font-size: medium;\"> [1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Federal Marijuana Law.&quot; Americans For Safe Access .

The authority may also extend the 2-year period if the authority determines that an extension is warranted because of an illness, disability, or other family emergency of the student or in the student\'s immediate family. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) Is enrolled or has been accepted into a qualified program. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) Signs a written grant agreement with the authority. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) Provides proof satisfactory to the authority that he or she has done both of the following: <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Submitted a FAFSA to the United States department of education to determine his or her eligibility for federal grants or scholarships. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (ii) Applied for any grants or scholarships offered by this state for which he or she is eligible. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (g) If the student received a Michigan higher education grant in the preceding academic year, the student made satisfactory academic progress, as defined by the state educational institution in which the student is enrolled, since receiving the previous Michigan higher education grant. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (h) Is in compliance with this act and the rules promulgated under this act. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (i) Meets any other eligibility criteria established in rules promulgated by the authority under section 5. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sec. 9. All of the following apply to the award of a Michigan higher education grant under this act: <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) In the 2013-2014 academic year, the base amount of the grant is an amount equal to the median cost of tuition for a full- time student enrolled at a public university in the 2012-2013 academic year, as determined by the department. For each subsequent academic year, the authority shall adjust the base amount of the grant to reflect the cumulative annual percentage change in the Detroit consumer price index in the preceding 1-year period, as determined by the state treasurer. As used in this subdivision, &quot;Detroit consumer price index&quot; means the most comprehensive index of consumer prices available for the Detroit area by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) The authority shall determine the amount of a student\'s grant for an academic year by subtracting the amount of any other state or federal grants or scholarships he or she is eligible to receive in that academic year from the base amount established under subdivision (a). <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) A student shall use the grant money he or she receives in an academic year to pay for his or her tuition and fees at the state educational institution. If the amount of his or her grant exceeds the amount of his or her tuition and fees, the student may use the grant money to pay other eligible expenses related to that academic year. If the amount of his or her grant exceeds the amount of his or her fees and other eligible expenses in an academic year, the student shall return the remaining balance to the authority. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) A student attending a state educational institution as a full-time student may not receive a grant in more than 5 academic years. If a student is attending a state educational institution as at least a half-time student but is not a full-time student, the authority shall determine the number of academic years for which the student may receive a grant. A student attending an state educational institution less than half-time shall not receive a grant. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) The authority shall disburse a student\'s grant money to the state educational institution in which he or she is enrolled on the student\'s behalf, according to a payment procedure established by the authority by rule. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (f) The annual cost of the total number of grants paid in a fiscal year shall not exceed the amount appropriated by the legislature for Michigan higher education grants in that fiscal year. If there are not sufficient funds appropriated by the legislature to provide each student with a grant in the amount to which those students are eligible in an academic year, the authority shall establish a maximum grant level for that academic year. In any fiscal year, the authority may adjust the amount of a Michigan higher education grant available to eligible students, based upon its determination of available resources and amounts appropriated. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sec. 11. (1) The Michigan higher education grant trust fund is established in the department of treasury.

The department of treasury shall establish and administer a restricted account in the general fund for the Michigan higher education grant program. All of the following apply to the account: <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (a) The department of treasury shall credit to the account money appropriated from the trust fund or received from any other source, including, but not limited to, interest and earnings from account investments and any money returned to the authority under section 9(c). <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (b) The department of treasury shall use the money in the account only to provide money to the authority for grants awarded under this act. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (c) Money in the account at the end of a fiscal year shall not revert to the general fund but shall be carried over in the account to the next fiscal year. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (d) The state treasurer shall direct the investment of the account. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (e) The department of treasury is the administrator of the account for auditing purposes. <o:p></o:p></p>\r\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sec. 15. By November 1 of each year, the authority shall submit a report on its activities under this act to the senate and house fiscal agencies and the state budget director.

For the 2013 Lincoln Day Dinner we are excited to announce that  our keynote speaker will be the former Sheriff of Graham County Arizona,  Richard Mack. Sheriff Mack gained national recognition in 1994 when he  filed suit against the Clinton Administration challenging the  Constitutionality of the Brady bill. As a result of the suit the United  States Supreme Court ruled that the Brady Bill was in fact  unconstitutional and that the Federal Government could not commandeer  state or county officers.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Because of that suit Sheriff Mack has made it his mission to  educate law enforcement officers and the American citizenry about the  meaning of being a Constitutional Law Enforcement Officer. Currently he  heads up the national office of Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace  Officers Associations (CSPOA).</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In times like these when our 2nd Amendment right is being  threatened, Sheriff Mack brings a timely message about the importance of  electing true Constitutional Sheriffs and what that means to all of us  who believe in our gun rights.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; We anticipate this event will be a highly attended event so early registration is recommended.</p>\r\nFOR DETAILS AND/OR TO REGISTER CLICK ON THE FOLLOWING LINK:<br />\r\n<br />\r\n<a href=\"http://www.clinton-countygop.org/content/2013-lincoln-day-dinner-sheriff-richard-mack\">2013 CLINTON COUNTY LINCOLN DAY DINNER WITH SHERIFF RICHARD MACK</a><br />',2),(3530,3530,'<div class=\"rtecenter\"><img width=\"684\" height=\"987\" alt=\"\" src=\"/sites/default/files/ccrp_2013-6a.jpg\" /></div>',2),
