A “Seeing Red Rally ! Organizers say:

“Tell Rep. Kildee NO To ObamaCare!” Kildee 5th MI Cong. Dist. Office Congressman Kildee’s Office Suite 410 810 239-1437 – Let Congressman Kildee know that we are “Seeing Red” over this health care reform bill and the un-American tactics being used to forward it. Red for our Health. Red for the Debt. Red for our Anger. Despite a FULL YEAR of debate, town halls and grass roots protesting, the Obama Administration is set to defy the will of the American people and ram Health Care Reform through Congress using shady deals and parliamentary gimmickry. ...

The US Dollar is weakening and the Canadian Dollar is gaining: CIBC said other factors were also aligning to push up the value of Canada's currency such as increased demand for oil, minerals and fertilizers; resurgent capital markets; and global debt fears. "If the capital markets finally get an appetite for M&A mergers and acquisitions [...]

Many events are happening around the state every week. Monday night Bruce Hall attended a citizens gathering in Westland, Michigan. At the gathering were a number of Michigan Notables including a relatively unknown activist Gubernatorial candidate,who essentially serves "to send a message" to Lansing Second amendment rights always on the docket, and rightly So. This article already has spawned a few comments.. One speaker takes a look at unions, THEN and NOW and the change which has happened over generations. A Michigan political discussion is always made even better with the scholars from the Mackinac center. All articles worth ...

I'm sure you all have seen the ads from Census 2010. It's well known that every 10 years, we have the census. Soon the forms will be coming to be filled out. I thought it came in today. Nope. Instead, I got a $0.44 first class mail telling me the census form will be in approximately one week from today. Thanks a lot. This is a major waste of my tax money. Anybody that is familiar with the costs of political campaigns knows how much mailings cost. This one is no different except that it is at our expense. There ...

If you love the efficiency of the post office, or of Amtrak, or of any other highly taxpayer subsidized enterprise that competes with the private sector on a daily basis, you are absolutely going to love the latest proposal by Michigan gubernatorial candidate Virg Bernero.

is 46-57 months. If the judge is to agree with this recommendation Ms. Conyers will serve within a stone's throw of the maximum allowed as a condition of her guilty plea. I think it would be incomplete to think of her crime as being wrapped around the illegal collection of some $60,000 or $70,000 in various shake downs. It would be more fitting to define it as her one small part in a multi-generational larceny that took a once proud city and removed from it its viability and with it, its self esteem. I'll let others decide if this is ...

RightMichigan.com founder and conservative activist Nick De Leeuw has joined the Mike Cox 2010 team as campaign Press Secretary and Tim Phelps, the former Director of Special Projects for the Republican National Committee will serve as Political Director for the campaign.

I've been noticing a lot lately that people are growing complacent on the Socialized Medicine Bill, and I thought we could use a little reminder of how unprincipled Bart Stupak is. Despite suggestions that Stupak is raising a fuss over abortion funding in the bill, his constituency is more heavily concerned with the bill itself. Not that the First District isn't overwhelmingly Pro-life, it is, but Stupak is falsely emphasizing the importance of abortion wording in the bill. The First District is more concerned with the bill itself and it's constitutionality. It's called a red herring argument. Here is a ...

An old Top Gear episode from Top Gear. Clarkson hates the 1st gen Prius so much, he has "Billy Bob" get all WWII on one. See 2:43 for the HK G3, followed by a Browning .50 machine gun. Nice.

House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter is prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill, the chairwoman said Tuesday. Slaughter is weighing preparing a rule that would consider the Senate bill passed once the House approves a corrections bill that would make changes [...]

Rep. Dale Kildee D-Mich. , a key supporter of Rep. Bart Stupak’s D-Mich. anti-abortion language intended for the health care bill, said Tuesday night that he’s satisfied the Senate abortion language prohibits federal funding of abortions and will likely vote for the bill. “I think the Senate language keeps the purpose of the Hyde amendment,” Kildee [...]

I don’t think I have ever considered the possibility of Coffee or Tea being politicized.. Obviously, the Tea Party movement uses “Tea” because of the revolutionary roots, and its meaning of “standing up to an oppressive authority.” It represents the individualism of patriots in this country and a desire to be free of unneeded government interference and manipulation of our lives. We assert that we are a FREE people, and are petitioning our government to step back to the constitutional precepts that founded this nation. But there are some who are so afraid of individuality, they will do anything to ...

In honor of Obama tying his lowest number to-date: </object> If people were clamoring for the Obama agenda, don't you think his number would be a bit higher? Posted via email from The Resistance

To Mr Stupak: I am not in your district, yet your efforts and equivocation about legislation has effect on all Michigan families. Please make up your mind. Either you will stand with the cabal that is trying so hard to destroy what good is left in this country, or you will side with your constituents, the people of Michigan, and common sense. It is your choice. On these following issues, I would hope to know that you stand with the people. Health Care is a personal thing. It is as private a set of decisions to be made as any. ...

" Neibert told Sikes after the CHP caught up with him to shift to neutral but the driver shook his head no. Sikes told reporters he didn't go into neutral because he worried the car would flip."
