Michigan governor; Jenny “No Jobs” Granholm is one of Obama’s list of ten possibilities for the open Supreme Court seat.
Just a few weeks ago, Ms. Granholm was red faced when it was discovered that she had been on-stage in a photo-op congratulating a businessman for securing a state tax credit of $9.1 billion dollars to create 765 jobs in Flint by converting an old chassis plant into renewable energy plant.
Flint resident Richard Short the recipient of the tax credit did 6 years in prison for embezzling from a Muskegon battery maker and was convicted of bank fraud.
Greg Main head of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation should have been fired over this boondoggle. He was the one that approved the tax credit and worked with Mr. Shot for months setting up the plan. A five minute check on Google would have alerted the agency of this man’s background.
In November of 2006, Michigan residents approved a proposal to prohibit discrimination or preferential treatment based on race or gender in the operation of public employment, public education or public contracting in the State. Ms. Granholm, against the will of the people is still fighting to over-turn this amendment going all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, yet another waste of tax payer dollars.
Ms. Granholm has raised or tried to raise taxes in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 included in the 2007 increase was the largest tax increase in Michigan’s history.
New York should take a look at Michigan, because this is what they are going to look like after Governor David Paterson gets through with them.
I think Ms. Granholm would fit right in with the Obama regimes plan to do to this country what she has done to Michigan, tax us out of prosperity and destroy our jobs.
We definitely should not reward her with a life-time job after the destruction she has caused here.

28th Amendment
Here are a few points as to why 76% of the American people do not trust their government
* They voted to NOT give you a Social Security Cost of living raise in 2010 and 2011.
* You will not get the 3% COLA: $660/year.
* Your Medicare premiums will go up $285.60 for the 2-years.
* Your total 2-yr loss and cost is -$1,600 or -$3,200 for husband and wife.
* U.S. House & Senate have accepted a salary increase of $4,700 and $5,300 respectively.
* Over these same 2-years each Congress person will get $10,000.
* Congress passed health care while more than 60% of the people were against it.
* Congress exempted themselves from this plan.
This past year has shown us that there are no “moderate democrats” in DC. They all voted to increase spending at every opportunity.
This year, you will have a chance to get rid of these pork patrons; that’s one-third of the Senate and 100% of the House.
Make sure you stay engaged and in November we will replace them and this will also remind the replacements of what can happen to them.
Additionally, we need to ensure that any law written spells out the language in the constitution that gives specific power for government to pass that law, if it does not -- it goes down in flames.
I think it’s time we added a 28th amendment to our Constitution. "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators or Representatives, and Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States"

Slick Willie Clinton
Ex-president Slick Willie Clinton used the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing as a opportunity to attack the tea party groups by paralleling them to Timothy McVeigh stating that the “bombs haven’t exploded, yet”
This is a guy who became President, went to the extreme left -- and when the American people rose up against him by electing a majority to take control of the house, he had to turn back to the center and he has been pissed off about it ever since.
This is the same man that was impeached from the presidency for lying under oath about his sexual relationship with White House aide, Monica Lewinski. He also has an incredibly long list of women conquests which I’m sure he collected the majority of them while married to his wife.
He is also the same guy that had to spend millions if our tax dollars defending himself in court over the White Water Real estate scandal.
Mr. Willy also wrote that McVeigh and friends "took to the ultimate extreme an idea advocated in the months and years before the bombing by an increasingly vocal minority: the belief that the greatest threat to American freedom is our government, and that public servants do not protect our freedoms, but abuse them."
The last line of his statement is true. The servants of this country are the greatest threat to our freedoms. Who was it that passed health care against the will of the people? Who are they that continually raise taxes and attach our first and second amendment rights?
No other country or group has the power to undermine our security or our system only those in power that write the rules and laws can do that. By installing like-minded people into key positions as Obama has done with his staff and judicial appointments can one control the law.
If they want to pass health care as they have, which goes against our constitution, we can fight it in the courts but if Obama has installed the judges he wants, he will attain the outcome he wants regardless of what the people say.
Slick Willy needs to get a bus and some fishin’ poles, gather up Jimmy Carter and head out for some fly fishing in Canada or some other country that has some of that free health care and keep his mouth shut. Every time he opens his mouth, all I hear is “I did not have sexual relations with that woman”

Senate Investigative Committee
I received and email from Sen. Carl Levin (D-Mi) informing me of a committee he is forming to investigate the financial crisis. What a joke!
This is like the coyote guarding the hen house!
It was Barney Frank’s committee that was charged to over-see the banking and financial markets but they fell asleep as the contributions to their campaign funds kept growing with donations from Fannie and Freddie.
It was the democratic members of congress that let this happen. They made the rules to allow this to come about and now they want to “investigate” it? Give me a break.
Financial institutions bought huge packages of loans from Freddie and Fannie because the American taxpayer through the federal government insured them, but the democrats let Fannie and Freddie cheat so that the bad loans spread like cancer in our system.
The democrats lied, covered up and killed legislation to protect Freddie and Fannie; their cash cow. McCain, Bush and the republicans tried to stop it over and over again. Bush asked 15 times alone in his last year about the problems at Freddie and Fannie. Maxine Waters and Barney Frank denied any wrong doing all the while knowing that Franklin Raines was criminally cooking the books to line his pockets with millions in bonuses.
This “committee” set up by Sen. Levin is just another bit of political posturing trying to make up some ground from their move against our Constitution and against the will of the people by passing a health care bill that they knew we did not want.
These people have been forthright it telling us that the Constitution meant nothing to them, that they had no concerns over it when writing and passing laws that the Constitution gave them no powers to do.
If Sen. Levin is truly serious about this, lets set up a committee of citizens to investigate this crime against the American people and let the chips fall where they may.

Socialist Health Care Plan
To quote President John Adams, "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two are a law firm, and three or more become a Congress." With the approval rating of the current congress hanging somewhere in the single digits, one has to ask: Can't we do better than this for $174,000 a year and the best benefits package in America?
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) was asked by a reporter to cite the provisions in the Constitution granting Congress the authority to pass a health care bill, she answered with an incredulous, "Are you serious?"
Senator Max Baucus (D-MT), one of the authors of this monstrosity, said that the legislation would address the "maldistribution of income in America." (It seeks to redistribute our money)
House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI), who made the following statement recently concerning the health care bill: "I love these members of Congress; they get up and say, 'Read the bill!' What good is reading the bill if it's a thousand pages long and you don't have two days and two lawyers to find out what it means after you read the bill?"
This man is a lifelong lawyer and a 22-term Democrat. Do you think he cares about what is constitutional and what is not?
Mocking the concerns of congressional Republicans, President Obama stated at his White House dog and pony health care summit to John McCain; "The campaign is over, John." You could have fooled me, Obama has done nothing but since he took office.
Now we have Rep. Phil Hare (D-IL) who states on camera when asked about the constitutionality of the bill; “I don't worry about the Constitution on this...What I care more about, I care more about people dying every day who don't have health care."
When he was further questioned he gaffed again; "I believe it says we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." A bystander pointed out that those words are not in the Constitution but rather in the Declaration of Independence, Hare replied, "Doesn't matter to me. Either one”
So now that the socialists’ democrats have passed their health care bill against the will of the people and against the constitution, how will you vote in August and November?

Cox-Granholm Debate
Governor Granholm stated openly that she wanted AG Mike Cox to withdraw his name from the lawsuit against ObamaCare stating that he “wasn’t representing his client” she was of course referring to herself. The governor is not a “client” of the Attorney’s general office but rather the people of the state are and this is why Mr. Cox filed the suit and why the people of Michigan are supporting Mr. Cox in his attempt to stop the intrusion of the federal government into our freedoms.
Ms. Granholm states that ObamaCare “is good for Michigan” well I look at her track record and have decided anything she thinks is good, we should run, not walk in the other direction.
Her administration has treated businesses in this state like a personal piggy bank raising taxes on businesses at will whenever the funds got low until they drove businesses right out of the state. If you had bullies stealing your milk money on the way to school everyday, you’d find another route to school and that’s what our businesses did and took our jobs with them.
The Granholm administration is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring jobs to our state but every attempt has been a dismal failure, attracting businesses that compete with already established businesses here and giving huge tax breaks to companies like the film industry, who use the breaks once and are gone off to the next state that will pay them to make a movie there.
Instead of trying to attract new businesses here they should have been looking at ways to keep the already proven businesses here in Michigan.
This health care bill will destroy thousands of jobs in the health insurance industry, the medical field, and this will have a devastating effect all across the board especially in Michigan. The democrats have already destroyed our manufacturing base and will soon try to kill the steel and energy industries with the Cap-n-Trade legislation.
I applaud Mike Cox for taking the initiative to protect the people of this state.

Searchlight NV
Harry Reid supporters misdirected Tea Party Express gatherers on the way to a rally in Searchlight NV last week.
People holding signs stating that the gathering was here directed Andrew Breitbart a speaker for the event, who was traveling independent of the group, into the wrong parking area.
He was approached by people holding their Support Harry Reid signs and witnessed some of them throwing eggs at the passing Tea Party Express bus.
Later that day, a police officer approached Andrew and told him that the Reid supporters accused him, Andrew of throwing the eggs at the bus.
Fortunately, Andrew’s camera crew had been recording the entire event. They also admitted on camera that they had been mis-directing people on the way to the event down the wrong road for hours.
This event was being held in the desert away from everyone else so as not to disturb the people that supported Mr. Reid yet these same people took it upon themselves to go out of the way to cause trouble and to try and show that the Tea Party movement was resorting to violence.
This will be a common modus operandi for the Democratic Party as they try desperately to break down the Tea Parties before the November elections
Harry Reid was instrumental in buying senators votes to get this 2,700 piece of legislation passed against the will of the people.
Our own senator Carl Levin [D] held out for his own “Corn Husker Kickback” or “Louisiana Purchase” to secure billions in subsidies for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan.
Business as usual in DC; doesn’t matter what party it is, they all bow to big money. One thing for sure is, not one republican voted for this massive take-over of our economy hiding it behind a “health care” title.
Do your homework, vet these candidates and see who is and will stand with the people and then cast your vote not only in the November election but also in the primary in August. Groups all over the country hold events to help you become informed, present candidates and help you hear these people speak. All are free. Look for an upcoming event in your area by going to: teapartypatriots.org or teapartyexpress.com or michiganteapartyalliance.com
