Is this the “FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE” you expected from President Obama and the progressive democrats in Lansing and Washington when you voted for “HOPE AND CHANGE” in 2008?

If you want to roll back these encroachments into your life, retain your rights and freedoms, and decide for yourself where your money will go -- Vote for CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS in November.

With your help we can restore responsibility in Lansing and Washington!
