171 Days until Election Day

May 17, 2008

MORNING UPDATE:

WHY TAXPAYERS ARE LOSING…the Democrats' strategy is very simple…if you rob Peter to pay Paul, you can usually count on Paul’s support.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS…ENDORSED BY RTL… The rights of the unborn were blatantly ignored by House Democrats again today as they allowed the heinous and unethical partial birth abortion procedure to continue in Michigan. Speaker Pro-Tem Mike Sak gaveled down and refused to hear arguments on seven amendments to ban partial birth abortion.

NRA CONVENTION…I joined about 6,000 members as Senator John McCain addressed the crowd and very straight forwardly addressed the challenges to the 2nd Amendment and his support for the right to bear arms. Governors Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee also addressed the group.

STATE CONVENTION…NOVI…AUGUST 23…we will hold our state convention all on one day, Saturday August 23rd. It will be held at the Rock Financial Center in Novi, right off I-96.

CBS MICHIGAN MATTERS… Who will be a bigger drag on their party in this fall's elections: George W. Bush, Jennifer Granholm or Kwame Kilpatrick? These were just a few of the topics we debated on "Michigan Matters" airing today (Saturday) at 11 a.m. on WWJTV (CBS Detroit) and repeating Sunday at 11 a.m. on its sister station, CW 50 (WKBD). L. Brooks Patterson, Derrick Miller and I join host Carol Cain, Detroit Free Press columnist, to kick around those hot topics. Then, Dick Blouse, CEO of the Detroit Regional Chamber, appears to preview issues he expects to be vetted by the 1,700 faithful heading to the Mackinac Leadership Conference.
