200 Days until Election Day

MORNING UPDATE:

State Committee kicked off it’s meeting yesterday. We held our county chairs meeting, which was followed by our favorite Friday night “Pizza and Politics” event…a great venue for folks to mix and mingle. As always, a great start to our meeting.

The formal State Committee meets this morning…more on that tomorrow.

Governor Granholm starts her junket to the Middle East…not on her dime! Maybe she should just go down to Indiana and figure out why Michigan companies have moved “south” over the “border”. No, we are NOT talking about Mexico. What an embarrassment.

Posted at 9:42am on Dec. 20, 2007 Union Thuggery: Your tax dollars hard at work?!

As if there weren't already plenty of good reasons to consider moving Michigan's economy into the 21st century by making it a Right to Work State we get one more heck of a good reason via this morning's Associated Press.  Yesterday the Michigan Civil Service Commission decided that it's OK for unions to automatically deduct political "donations" directly from the paychecks of public employees.

In other words, if their decision stands, the unions will have direct access to tax dollars to help fund their hate campaigns against conservative candidates.  And make no mistake, when the union thugs start campaigning things can get down right hateful.  

I remember walking the route of the 2006 Labor Day parade in Detroit with Dick DeVos and his family.  We quickly picked up a large contingent of very angry union thugs screaming obscenities.  But that was nothing.  Par for the course.  It's tough to expect thugs to behave in a civil manner.  The shocking part came as we passed a checkpoint where the City of Detroit had a firetruck and an ambulance.  One thug walked up behind the candidate and screamed into his ear "you see that ambulance?  You just remember where it was.  You keep walking and you're going to need it!"

Thanks to the Civil Service Commission pretty soon those will be your tax dollars at work.  Not that they're going to get away with it that easily.
