Be The Difference, Vote

Wanna make a difference and have an impact for our country?  One of the many ways to do that is to vote! In 2024, history will be made. On November 5th, many Americans will go to the polls to cast their ballots for president. This will be considered to be one of the most important,  closest elections in our recent history. Voters will also be voting on state legislatures candidates, county races, university board races, ballot proposals, local school board races and judges too. The polls on Election Day will be open from 7 am. - 8  pm.  If you’re still in line to vote at 8 pm, they have to let you vote, stay in line. Also remember to vote on the front, the back of the ballot and proposals too! If you voted absentee, there’s still time to turn in your ballot. Thanks for being the difference.

Restore the Funding Now!

Ebenezer's not the only Scrooge. Once again the GOP in Michigan are acting like a bunch of Scrooges and Grinches.  The GOP led house stripped 645,000,000 from state funding for social programs last week.  The cuts affect funding for community groups, programs that help many. The GOP led appropriations committee stripped the funding by bypassing the Governor, state Senate and the full house through a loophole.  The 645 million was a carryover from the last state budget.  The GOP claimed the move was made to cut wasteful spending. The State Senate passed a measure to restore the funding, now it's up to the state house to do what they majority of Michiganders want, restore the funding. Matt Halls' reasons for doing this is as believable as a $3.00 dollar bill.  First: the state budget was passed in October. It was signed into law.  Second: if the 645,000,000 was carried from the previous budget, then what's the problem in funding the programs.  The state ...
