179 Days until Election Day

MORNING UPDATE:

SMOKE FREE MICHIGAN…bill passes the Senate, on its way to the House. Smoking banned in all public buildings.

OBAMA..DOESN’T HAVE THE RECORD…so says FOX commentator Juan Williams: http://migop.blogs.com/blog/2008/05/obamadoesnt-hav.html

2nd CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT ROUNDUP…with Congressman Pete Hoekstra and other leaders from around the district and state will be held Saturday, May 17th at Muskegon Community College. The round up will begin promptly at 9 a.m.

ABC’s ‘THE NOTE” ON CLINTON… Will we see an exit that’s a Mitt Romney (crisp and timely), a Mike Huckabee (a few weeks too late), or a Ron Paul (non-existent)?

SPEAKER ANDY DILLON…we’re still looking for him, while his colleagues are working in session, in Lansing, in Michigan. Where the world is is Andy Dillon???

STOP TAXING OUR CELL PHONES…States and cities are all too often raising the cost of your monthly wireless service by imposing new discriminatory taxes and fees. The "Cell Tax Fairness Act of 2008" - would place a five-year hiatus on new, unfair state and local wireless taxes.

CARD CHECK…Protect the workers' right to a secret ballot. The vast majority (around 81%) of Americans believe that American workers have a right to have a secret ballot election before they are forced to join a union. Last year the House Democrats passed a bill that would strip American workers of the secret ballot. A new bill should be introduced re-affirming that right, and it should be brought up again and again until marginal Democrats are forced to vote with the American people against the union power structure. This coming from a Teamster.

TALK RADIO 1400 AM…I’ve become a weekly guest on the Hughes Sullivan Show on WDTK-AM 1400, which is broadcast in Metro-Detroit every evening. I am scheduled to regularly appear Mondays and Fridays between 8:20-8:50pm. Good, conservative talk radio. You can hear it online at http://wdtkam.townhall.com/
