The Republican Party can only win, and the citizens of MI only win, when we stay true of the party platform.  Conservatism works every time it is tried.  If we don't stay true to our conservative roots we will lose, just like in 2006 and 2008. MI has lost 540,000 people in the last eight years.  How many more are going to go before the state of MI. gets it's act together. We must have less regulation, fewer taxes, lower tax rates and cut the size and scope of government.  We need to go to a parttime legislature, cut the pay of legislators and the number of  administrators in the departments.(SMALL GOVT.)  We must be a pro-life-pro-family -marriage between one man one woman party. If we can articulate these points, the people of Michigan will vote for us.
